[WR] Nathaniel Berg - Rubiks Clock 5.25 single

[Stefan]

i got the world record no one in the room was solving a cube officialy at the time so what is it really to argue about?

The general case and the glorification/encouraging of loudness (by the "loved the awesome reaction" kiddies). I haven't been talking much about you.

i get your argument that people could be distracted if they would have a chance on world record on the same scramble but at this competition i was the only one that had a chance to break WR in clock the rest of the people was 6 seconds slower...

WR is just the extreme example. There's also CRs, NRs (Darja did get one in the next round), PBs, placement in the round, or other statistics someone might value (e.g., sub-10 single or average (Viktor did come close) or some sort of streak).

Anyway, sorry for the derailment of this thread, and congrats for your WR+ER.

With that out of the way, i would say that the best reaction ever was AVG noticing a good solve (can't remember which one), puts his cube down and makes a few golfclaps, picks his cube back up and finishes his solve.

That would be 5.55

First Round, Group A, #5: UR2- DR5- DL4- UL5- U2- R1- D5- L6+ ALL4- y2 U4- R5+ D1- L2- ALL4+
First Round, Group B, #5: UR5- DR2- DL1- UL2+ U3+ R3+ D1- L4+ ALL4+ y2 U5+ R2+ D4+ L4+ ALL1- UR DR UL
The second is much better in terms of initial lucky cases, so I'd assume it's that one, though the corners on the first led to a smoother finish (for me).

Thanks! Yeah, the initial pins in the video confirm that it's the second one
