    Default Lofty's 17.54 OH solve.


    as you can see from the video there was a 2x2x1 block already there for me and an easy second pair already made. The rest of the solve was normal put the scramble really was too easy.

    So is this better than your 2H PB? That would be the greatest thing ever. Great solve though.

    My name? Brian Loftus, I have never been to a competition.
    My pb 2H is 15.18 2H average is still 5 or so seconds faster.
    I really want a stackmat timer so I am forced to use both hands to stop the timer.

    well, you could use your cubing hand to stop it

    wow, just 5 seconds faster with 2 hands? O.o

    I'm like 10 seconds slower with one hand like 14-15 and 24-25

    So this solve was lucky, and a DNF for both inspecting with two hands and stopping the timer while touching the cube.

    But still really fast! Congratulations.

    The second is just +2 according to the regulations.

    Well if you have the cube still in your hand you can easily still manipulate the cube so it's a DNF, even if you don't have to manipulate it.
    You should not hold on to/grab your cube untill the judge said you may so.

    Just ask mr.WCA(Ron) himself. I am pretty sure he will say the same thing.

    It shouldn't be. If you don't manipulate it, then you don't manipulate it.

    A6d) The competitor must fully release the puzzle before stopping the timer. Penalty: 2 seconds.
