Why is there even 6BLD and 7BLD in the Forum comps?

i have solved a square one one handed before. (the one time i tried.) i'll try again today. also, max park used to solved a 4x4 one handed when he was ten. the again, he is max park.

i have no idea. ive seen one attempt at 6x6bld.

Max Park has huge hands.

 

[Averageof12]

yeah. but square one does not.

i just did square one oh and got 2:33.32.

I rest my case. Maybe it should be an event, what if there was Clock with feet?

 

[Averageof12]

that would be gross, and very hard to turn the dials accurately.

 

[Averageof12]

what about pyra blind?

 

[AhsanDaCuber125]

what about pyra blind?

Ooh, that’s a good one.

Guys, arbitrary combinations of already existing events are unlikely to be made as official events, they add nothing new.

thats true. i just tried pyra blind, and it made no difference. but still a good combo. the only bld event i can see gettin added is 2bld.

2BLD is too small for a BLD event, and one-lookers would get pretty similar times than their original times from inspection. 2BLD won’t make any difference to the WCA

 

[Averageof12]

i still agree with you, but what about one handed clock?

 

[OtaMota]

What? That’s the worst event to BLD, 2x2ers nowhere near world class can just one look the cube do the solve normally. The rankings for sighted 2x2 would be the same as 2BLD. Also, judges have to put a sight blocker. How can you do that when execution is sub-1?

pyra might also get removed just because its not a cube

Chat what is this awful take

 

[AhsanDaCuber125]

If you said Pyra should be removed because’s it’s not a cube, that means Clock and Megaminx wouldn’t even be on the list. Also, many cubers might quit because of that, the pro cubers.

Also square one. It's not a cube.

 

[Averageof12]

thats a good point. pyra and clock and mega should stay.

Also square one. It's not a cube.

only when its not solved.
