I know i'm not that fast (and my cube keeps locking up al the time) so i created this test to see how my turnspeed is compared to other cubers.

I know that there already exists a list over most turns in one minute but for me one minute is to long time for keeping up maximum speed.

The rules are simple: just do R U R' U' all the time. When your cube returns to a solved state you have don 24 moves. So it's easy to know that you have done 100 moves without counting - just turn as crazy hippopotamus (or what ever :o) until your cube has been solved 4 times and then just do one more R U R' U'!
It's ok to hold the cube when you start sins it's only the turnspeed we want to measure.

After some questions: The rule is that every second move has to be on a side 90 degrees to the previous and that the sequence takes you back to a solved cube after 24 moves. So you can do R' U R U' or U R U' R' or L U L' U' or any variation of this! Just don't forget to ad four more moves in the end to get to 100!

I'm not even gonna try yet because I'm slow of this for whatever reason. In his 6.57 vid, Yu Nakajima proves to be insanely fast at it.

I'm better doing U R U' R', which is the same thing backwards. I finally Sub-10'd that 4 times (96 moves), and then Sub-9'd it. :) What about everyone else?

Sorry for the hijacking your thread, it happens here. :P
 
Well i think it's ok to do it backwards as well! :)

I feel like I'd be cheating, because one way I'm a lot faster at than the other.

What the heck, I'll do both.

I bet a lot of people who has posted in this thread has done it differently, It's actually just doing a 100 moves as fast as possible, no matter how you do it.. but this is probably the fastest way..

Yes for my sake you can do it in any order you want just as long as you do every second move on a different axel of the cube.
