- 3k2b+) [CLARIFICATION] If a non-permitted puzzle is found during the course of a 3x3x3 Multi-Blind attempt, the puzzle must not be exchanged or removed from the attempt and must be counted as unsolved if the entire attempt is not disqualified.
- 3k2b++) [EXAMPLE] Suppose the competitor attempts 10 puzzles and solves 8 successfully. If it is found that two solved puzzles and one unsolved puzzle are not permitted, the competitor is considered to have a result with 6 solved puzzles out of 10 (rather than DNF), at the discretion of the WCA Delegate.
- 3l+) [ADDITION] Logos may feature any reasonable design that does not give a conspicuous advantage (e.g. encoding information that could be used to cheat), and leave the colored part clearly recognizable. Unconventional logos are only permitted at the discretion of the WCA Delegate.
- 3l++) [CLARIFICATION] In the past, puzzles with logos have been permitted for blindfolded events. Such puzzles are no longer permitted.
- 3l++) [CLARIFICATION] Logos are permitted for 3x3x3 Blindfolded, but not any other blindfolded events, including 3x3x3 Multi-Blind.
- 3l1+) [CLARIFICATION] On NxNxN puzzles, a center piece is any piece with a single colored part. For example, the 5x5x5 Cube has 9 center pieces on each face.

- B1+) [REMINDER] The competitor must use a puzzle without logos (see [Regulation 3l](regulations:regulation:3l)), textures, markings, or other features that distinguish similar pieces (see [Regulation 3k](regulations:regulation:3k)). This should be given special attention for Blindfolded Solving.
- B1+) [REMINDER] The competitor must use a puzzle without textures, markings, or other features that distinguish similar pieces (see [Regulation 3k](regulations:regulation:3k)). This should be given special attention for Blindfolded Solving. Exception: For 3x3x3 Blindfolded, the puzzle may have any logos permitted by [Regulation 3l](regulations:regulation:3l).
- B1b+) [RECOMMENDATION] Blindfolds should be checked by the WCA Delegate before use in the competition.
- B2d+) [ADDITION] By default, the competitor starts the solve the first time that they start the timer after the judge has indicated that they are ready (see [Regulation B2a](regulations:regulation:B2a)). If they want to check that the timer is in working order, they must (ask and) receive confirmation from the judge each time before starting/resetting the timer during this phase. Penalty for starting and resetting a timer without confirmation from the judge: disqualification of the attempt (DNF).
- B2f+) [CLARIFICATION] Since the competitor starts the solve by lifting the cover, penalties for starting the timer and for touching the cover while starting the attempt do not apply (see [Regulation B2b](regulations:regulation:B2b) and [Regulation B2c](regulations:regulation:B2c)).
- B4c++) [ADDITION] If the judge forgot to put a sight blocker and the WCA Delegate does not suspect that the competitor intentionally violated any WCA Regulations, the original attempt may stand.
- B4d+) [CLARIFICATION] For 3x3x3 Blindfolded, competitors are permitted to determine the location of a permitted logo (see [Regulation 3l](regulations:regulation:3l)) by touch during the blindfolded phase.
