How many solves can someone do in 1 sitting? My guess is (assuming you don’t sever the literal tendens in your wrists) is 95,184. I know fatigue and stuff exists, but that is the closest I can think of.

I think a few thousand at most because after that it'd be too tiring and you wouldn't actually improving

Yeah, that’s true. But I think if you do endurance training before hand, the max physical limit may be 10,000 (again, assuming you average 5 second) that’s only 28hrs (which is a lot, but still do able)
 
It depends how fast you cube. But if you eat and drink while cubing and somehow make a toilet in a chair and you somehow don't get bored. For this example We'll say you average 20 seconds, you scramble for 10 seconds, and you inspect for 7 seconds. Let's also say every day all your times decrease by 1%(fatigue). Let's also finally say every hour you take a minute break for the eating and drinking. And you don't sleep for 11 days(WR).
MATH TIME!!!!!
20+10+7=37
1 day is 86400 seconds
24x60=1440
86400-1440=84960
84960/37=2296.216216
2296.216216 for day 1
1% of 20 = 0.2
1% of 10 = 0.1
1% of 7 = 0.07
20 + 0.2 = 20.2
10 + 0.1 = 10.1
7 + 0.07 = 7.07
20.2 + 10.1 + 7.07 = 37.37
86400-1440=84960
84960/37.37=2273.48140219
2273.48140219 for day 2
1% of 37.37 = 0.3737
37.37 + 0.3737 = 37.7437
86400-1440=84960
84960/37.7437=2250.97168534
2250.97168534 for day 3
1% of 37.7437 = 0.377437
37.7437 + 0.377437 = 38.121137
86400-1440=84960
84960/38.121137=2228.68483697
2228.68483697 for day 4
1% of 38.121137 = 0.38121137
38.121137 + 0.38121137 = 38.50234837
86400-1440=84960
84960/38.50234837=2206.61865047
2206.61865047 for day 5
38.50234837 + (1% of 38.50234837) = 38.8873718537
86400-1440=84960
84960/38.8873718537=2184.77094106

84960/39.2762455722=2163.1395456
2163.1395456 for day 7
this is becoming a chore so im just going to get all the solves for the day without showing any of the work.
2141.72232238 for day 8
2120.51715087 for day 9

You (hopefully)don't die but you finally fall asleep.
Realistically, you'd probably forget how to solve a rubiks cube, but this is already too much math.
anyway
Let's add all the numbers(this'll be a doozy)
2296.216216+2273.48140219+2250.97168534+2228.68483697+2206.61865047+2184.77094106+2163.1395456+2141.72232238+2120.51715087+2099.52193155+2078.7345857=24044.37926813
Finally, we round that and we get...
(drumroll)
24044
There are a LOT more factors to acknowledge but this is an EXTREMELY rough estimate.
My guess is around 10k-15k before your wrist falls asleep or you forget how to solve a rubiks cube or your heart just stops or you fall asleep.
I'm not sure. But I think it's mildly accurate.
Edit: I'm not tryna be a showoff. I just wanted to find out approximately. So don't think this is me tryna show off my algebra or whatever. And don't reply to this to say "WeLl AcTuAlLy, I aVeRaGe 10 SeCoNdS"

Yeah, I’m my initial thought, I was going for the theoretical human limit. Like, if Yiheng decided to cube at top speed for 11 straight days (longest time awake)

I know.
Also can you do the same thing escept replace 84960 with 86280 and replace the 37 with 11?
Click to expand...
That gives 82133 solves. But I highly doubt anyone can scramble, inspect and solve in 11 seconds on average, considering someone at such a level really needs the full 15 seconds of inspection to reach max solving speed.

ok so we have a very low move count method, unlimited energy drinks (your grandmother was a rich celebrity and passed down the 1.7B down to your parents) you have someone who brings food which you can eat quickly in between solves, and you will move slower when your tired, now you live 80 years and you have started at 6, hence 74 years, in 1 hour you solve lets say 60 times, one per minute, so 24 x 60 is 1440, and 1440 x 365 is 525600, now 525600 x 74 is 38894400, so 38894400 solves, also if you slowly get better and dont like stay at 60 per hour it could be higher, (this was not mean't to be realistic and was full of assumptions)
 
THE_V01DL0RD said:
It's theorhetical. 3.5 for solve, 2 for scramble, and 5.5 for inspection
Click to expand...
Not possible. There is no way someone averages 3.5 with 5.5 seconds of inspection. Also, 2 seconds scramble is just not viable.
THE_V01DL0RD said:
Also can I see the really big fraction?
Click to expand...
I didn't calculate in wolframalpha this time but I'll edit this post once I have it.

Edit: it's 99798649502835123748994280/1215084337952324961011
