"Please Refrain from Going Insane!" 7x7 ao1000 Challenge

[White KB]

The challenge: Solve a 7x7x7 Cube 1000 times and post your whole ao1000 session here.
The rules:
All times must start no earlier than August 1, 2023. This is because it doesn't make sense to put a session that ended 3 years ago in. If it takes you 3 years to do a session, great. If it started in the previous decade, maybe not so great.
The first person to finish gets bragging rights, and everyone who completes it gets access to a groovy invite-only Discord server that I will make once someone actually gets to 1,000 7x7 solves. I know not everyone has Discord, but if it's any consolation I will also make a PM group on SpeedSolving.
Please shorten your posts with spoilers like the one shown below:

Let's just pretend this is a 7x7 ao1000. Hi!

The reason is because nobody wants to read through that much text, and even if they do it will probably make everyone's pages laggy. What's actually even better than that is making a Google Doc or a Word document to put it in so that the data stored is not the SpeedSolving servers' problem, but yours. Not a huge burden but hey-- be considerate. (Please remember to SHARE your document before posting.)

You can post in this thread, even if it's not a post saying "Here's my ao1000." Updates and stuff will help keep this thread alive, because most of you will not complete this in under a month. (Let's not kid ourselves here; unless you have oodles of time and average about 2-3 minutes, it's not happening.) Weekly updates on progress and things are not only welcomed, but encouraged.

The challenge starts now! Good luck and happy solving!

I’m slow/ broke so I don’t have a 7x7. Can I use a 6x6? I average around 5:40.

Fun fact: there’s a guy in China who has done 80,000 7x7 solves over the past few years. His name is ChunPao Ni. It’s kinda impressive to do that many solves and not be close to wr lol

I mean, the goal is 7x7. I might make one for 6x6 (and you're free to copy and paste this and make one yourself if you want) but this one specifically is strictly 7x7.

I mean, he looks like he isn't far from WR per sé. Still cool that he did 80000 solves though.

The fact Max could solve a 5x5 in the time diff between PRs sounds like a pretty big diff to me lol

 

[AJT17]

I will give this a go, since I have a competition at the start of September and I need to practice it, but I would need to spend almost a full week of just solving, scrambling and inspecting.

 

[AJT17]

1% of the way there! This is exhausting, but I am enjoying the solves, aside from the occasional pops ands lockups.

[Caden Fisher]

I’ve done 3 7x7 solves total lol. I don’t have the motivation to do 1k solves but imma go do a few rn

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

I'll probably reach 1000 7BLD solves before 1000 7x7 solves lol
Mind you, I do like 3 7BLD attempts a year

 

[Nacho9]

i have a comp with 7x7 coming up anyway, so this would be good practice.

I think that we are going to the same comp, the Taos one?
How fast are you at 7x7?

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

do this but 9x9
then we'll talk

 

[Nacho9]

nope. i am moving from new mexico to minnesota in a few weeks, and will be competing on Cubetcha 2023.
i average 6:30 on 7x7.

 

[artless1der]

do this but 9x9

yo do you even HAVE a 9×9? lol ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

 

[Abram Grimsley]

yo do you even HAVE a 9×9? lol ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

I have a 10x10! Will that work? Lol

BTW, I'm joining this 7x7 race. I will definitely not win, but I think it will be fun!

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

yo do you even HAVE a 9×9? lol ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

not yet
I plan to buy the diansheng 8x8 and 9x9 sometime ( gigaminx first tho )

 

[White KB]

5:20 PB single/5:39 PB mo3 yay
Now my ao5 is sub-6
(3.3% done)

 

[TheSpeedSkewber]

Are you practicing the event as well as doing solves? It would be really cool to have this thread be some sort of road to NR or something. Obviously a big commitment and totally your choice.

 

[Abram Grimsley]

is hand scrambling allowed? it takes me almost as long to scramble as it does to solve. lol!
