[LBr]

Wow

Technically WR since it's more recent. I wonder why he didn't get a 4.86, maybe he's trying things out, it gets a little stale when you break someone's record by 0.001 several times.

 

[TheSilverBeluga]

Well
He didn’t break it by .01 seconds this time, at least.

I can’t tell if this an improvement from that or not though

Really nice result but this is 4.86(3). Tymon got 4.85(6)

Okay bro.

That's how rounding works.

Any thoughts on the 4.78?

Max seems to still be touching the cube with his left index finger when he stops the timer.

Would Tymon still have the WR average because he had a lower single than Max? I’m not sure the exact rule, but I’m pretty sure that’s how ties are broken at least in one single comp.

I would think that whoever has got the record first would still be considered as the WR holder... Let's say somebody breaks the WR average and the record stood for 5 years. Then somebody ties it. The first person to get the WR should still be the WR holder because that person did it earlier than anyone else.

Dude, I go to the mountains for a hiking trip and come back to see this. Congrats to Max for not letting Tymon have the world record for too long. Lol. No, seriously, Congrats to Max!

 

[Timona]

Well, s__t. Before I slept I was telling someone that Max was focusing on big cube WRs and he's deluded for thinking Max could get 3x3 WR. And then i wake up to this.

Certified bruh moment.

It's considered a shared world record. Same as when Feliks and SeungBeom Cho shared the 4.59 single. Or when four people shared the FMC record average at 24.

Amazing solves by Max! It is so unlikely that he tied the previous WR average.

You mean current WR average?

 

[Triangles_are_cubers]

max forgot he had to beat it by 0.01

 

[baseballjello67]

I filmed it. And the last solve of the 7x7 wr mean. But, oh, did I mention that my f___ing phone died during his last solve. Damn, that's harsh.

One year ago, the WR average was 5.48 sec held by Ruihang Xu. Has the past year been crazy or what.

I analyzed the video frame by frame and there is no point during or after the timer stop that Max touched the cube. (I ignored the timer display and focused on when his hands hit the timer)
