Great report indeed Gilles. Very good quality photo's also!

I really liked the idea of the "human timer". Maybe we can convince Rubiks are SpeedStacks to make cloths that have the timer "build in". Although just attaching it with 1 part inside your shirt and the other on the outside also works really well. Joël and I walked/solved/timed for about 20 minutes and during that time the timer didn't move at all!

Was it solved after that 10.11?

Very nice, thanks for the vid. Fastest 3x3 non-lucky solve in the world. Awesome.

Yes, great solve, I have it on good authority that it was slightly lucky however... not that I am trying to be a killjoy or anything but it's nice to know the facts. Edouard told Joel who told me that while solving the final F2L pair he inserted it R' F R F' instead of the usual U R U' R' and hoped for an OLL skip (you can see when this might happen by looking at the LL edges of course). And he got the skip.

Whether this is "lucky" is a matter of opinion I guess.

Dan

 

[Pedro]

well...I wouldn't call it lucky if he worked for it...

if he inserted it with U R U' R', he wouldn't have had the OLL skip...so it was kinda on purpose

 

[pjk]

Ah, OLL skip. I didn't know that. My fault. I take back my statement.

Even though he used a special technique to orient all edges, he got all the corners oriented as well, which is "lucky", at least from my understanding of what I just read.

By the way Dan, nice to see you here on the forum.

Nice pictures.

This one goes to Erik: look at the picture of my 12.11 seconds solve, the only cube of mine wich has blue stickers is?

 

[DanHarris]

I couldnt get the videos to work, it said I didnt have the right codec. DO you know where I can get it, or how I could download the videos to watch in a different player?

Dan

 

[Pedro]

I'd say get the k-lite codec pack
works for me

 

[DanHarris]

I downloaded and installed it, but they still don't work Is there anyway IO can get hold of the actual files themselves? I'm sure its because they are trying to play in the web browser rather than on my media player.

 

[pjk]

What player are you trying to play it in? It may be DivX. Worse case scenario, you can watch it on Youtube.

 

[Pedro]

but can you watch it on the media player?

and what's IO?

 

[DanHarris]

Well, when i click on the link, it tries to play within media player on my firefox web browser. IO was a typo, should have been I

 

[pjk]

Right click, save link as. Also download DivX and install prior to doing this. Let me know if it works. What OS do you use?
