WOW! 11.33!!
And he had a 16...if that was a 11.5, holy cow...sub-11 avg

I'm kinda disappointed Tomy didn't get the WR avg...and not even a sub-20 time on OH :( maybe he felt the pressure...(he did quite well on 2H, btw)

But...

7 guys sub-23.5 o_O

Don't they knock off your best and worst time anyway?

Yes, but if the 16 was under 11.5, the 12.xx would have been knocked off.

If all the times were sub10, the average would have been sub10. (same kind of (useless) thinking ...).
Anyway, good times, and i'm happy not to have it anymore.

congrats to nakajima! after all those videos on youtube of 10xx averages, id be disapointed if he didnt get the WR. Competitions in Japan are always such high level it seems...

doudou,
why are you happy not to have it anymore?

Isn't Gilles's specialty OH? I'm surprised he got a 40.

Well, there goes my dream of getting the pyraminx AsR. I thought I could average sub-10 with a less stiff pyraminx that doesn't pop (mine is quite stiff) with some practice for a few days. But a 6 second average? I'll have to learn the "ZBLL" for pyraminx from mzrg's site and still not be that fast. Even qqwref himself doesn't know all of them.
Are their any other advanced pyraminx solutions? I use 1 look last layer with 5 algs of 6-7 moves each that I found myself. Well good thing they are all Japanese, so I still have my NR!

Nakajima finally showed what he got ;-) That average, as Pedro pointed out, could've been even faster, which means there is still more to it than just this!

Those guys deserve it, they practice really hard to get to where they are.

Edouard FINALLY gets the record, and he can't hold it for five freaking seconds!! sheesh

btw... the craziest part was that 2nd place was a sub-12 average too. thats a competition first.
