Hey congratulations on the 3x3 WR Eric! thats pretty insane and nice time too i don't see it being beat for a LONG time either.

that was from the canadiancubing site's chatterbox.
Eric is referring to Eric Limeback.

What do you guys think it is? single or average? what time/s do you think he got?

oh and this happened at the TOW i think (toronto winter open)

EDIT: i am not derrick eide. derrick, if you're mad for me putting this up, i'm sorry.
Check out the chatterbox here: http://www.canadiancubing.com
Here is Eric's WCA profile (not edited yet): http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2007LIME01

We want more info!

(Is there a vid?)

(See, this is what you need live results for. )

 

[PeterNewton]

i don't know... i was supposed to be there but i had work.

 

[Vulosity]

Single or average?

 

[qqwref]

Nice job? I'll believe it when I see the time in the results. (I have indeed seen people jokingly posting about (nonexistent) WRs before the competition results were over, so this isn't just me being dumb.)

 

[Ellis]

Single or average?

didn't you read the post, that's all the info there is so far. Until derrick or someone else comes on.

 

[Unknown.soul]

Maybe he beat Erik's 7.08 with 7.07.

err.. i hope you guys wont be mad if its fake. i am not the one that posted this on the canadiancubing site. all i'm doing is providing a service by showing u guys what was on the chatterbox

 

[Ellis]

I wont be mad, but the title should have had a question mark

 

[IamWEB]

This I gotta see.

 

[Gparker]

he was one of the last people everyone thought he would get it, like after Erik beat nakajima beat his average everyone was like anti or pro erik,nakajima.i was thinking that someone like sarah would come out of no where and break it

 

[WaffleCake]

Wait so this was Derrick commenting on Eric beating Erik?

Realised the moment after I posted that. I was close enough though.

LOL?

I would expect if a Canadian gets a WR, it would be Harris Chan, because like Rowe Hessler, he's one of the people who we've waited for years for a WR.

http://www.worldcubeassociation.org...onId=&years=&show=100+Persons&average=Average

Note that Eric Limeback is at #43, I would have expected someone in the top 42 to get the record.
Then, again, his single is at #10, so if he broke the WR, I'm 99% sure that it would be single with a really easy smooth solve with skip.

Edit:
It's sad that before I quit 3x3 speed, I was at the same speed as Sarah. Apparently now she is world class and I'm just a noob. Now I really need to practice Pyraminx. I'll sub-7 eventually...

 

[PeterNewton]

well guys, the after-party lasts until 8pm at TOW, and it will take many people at least half an hour to get back home (unless they skipped the after party), and most of them will be tired. so we may not get concrete info until tomorrow. think we'll survive?

 

[miniGOINGS]

wow, i hope a canadian gets the record!! eh
