Holy cow

What's that thing he takes off the cube?

Also 13x13 as prizes?!

It's like a thin piece of card inserted to prevent the puzzle from misaligning upon transferring from the scrambling station to the timing station

Damn that's clever.

 

[Jimmy Liu]

Almost sub 11 LOL!

 

[Lazy Einstein]

I wonder what his at home pbs are

 

[Scruggsy13]

That's pretty crazy fast.

 

[Berd]

Incredible! GJ!

EDIT: Anyone know how many algs he knows/uses on square 1?

 

[Ordway Persyn]

and here I am solving it with a cheat sheet in like 10 minutes XD

 

[zhangcy]

a thin piece of card is a good idea

 

[Wilhelm]

I love how he stops the timer to make sure he doesn't get any penalties

If he didn't stop the timer, he wouldn't get an average.

 

[CuberM]

Slow

Obviously ^^. I meant how he puts the cube down

 

[blade740]

I set down my cube the same exact way.

It looks like he's using full EP. He's executing those long algs like it's nothing! So fast!

 

[proof]

Incredible! GJ!

EDIT: Anyone know how many algs he knows/uses on square 1?

Nearly 200, including the whole 100 edge-pll algs.

 

[ottozing]

Nearly 200, including the whole 100 edge-pll algs.

What other algs does he know aside from full Vanderbergh? Would it just be alternative algs for cases, or parts of combinations of steps like CP+EP in one alg? (or whatever other steps you want to combine).

 

[Jimmy Liu]

I think Andrew knows something called PBL, I've seen him done this at SQ1 example solves. As far as know, it's a combination of two CP algs, but I have no idea what's the theory behind it.

 

[Jimmy Liu]

Nearly 200, including the whole 100 edge-pll algs.

It's nearly impossible to beat Li in the near future especially the average, except himself.
He've dominated the avg WR for five years, and it's still on going.

I don't think it's impossible. I think sub-11 on Square-1 is much easier than sub-10 on 3x3, and somebody is bound to get faster eventually. That said, there is no solver out there today that can solve as fast as Li CONSISTENTLY. If you look at his results, he has had only one average over 12 seconds in almost 3 years! This consistency is much more impressive to me than the times themselves. I wonder what kind of averages he gets at home.
