Square 1 One Handed

[pjk]

Anyone ever try it? I just came up with the bright idea to give it a shot.

 

[Lofty]

I would try it but...
I don't have a square 1

 

[masterofthebass]

Ok... I just did one. 7:15.08. My square-1 moves smoothly but is tight. It's a cube4you DIY. If I one of the broken in good ones, It would definantly be faster. The hardest part is making sure that you keep u're faces in the right spot. If you're off by 30 degrees, that can screw up your whole solve.

Ok... jus did another. 3:39.09 What a learning curve. 2:44.46 this time. No more for now.

Cool stuff. What about 2x2s one handed, or a relay one handed? I remember seeing Andrew Kang do a 5x5 OH in like 5 minutes (I think).

 

[MAHTI-ANSSI]

I can do 2x2 one-handed in about 11-12 seconds.

Gunnar Krig and Lennart aspelin and I was racing 2x2 OH a little more than a year ago, Both Gunnar and Lennart has got 10-11 averages as thier bests, I got to 13-14 something.

Then, a little later Anssi also came in to the race as you can see above

BTW, we will do 2x2 OH in my upcomming competition (dec 15, planned to be Uppsala, but now it looks as Kunsängen outside Stockholm). Anssi alredy said he his comming because I promised him 3x with feet format "mean of three", expect a new world record there

Kenneth, what are the best 2x2x2 OH times and avgs done in Swedish competitions?

Kenneth, what are the best 2x2x2 OH times and avgs done in Swedish competitions?

I don't know exactly but I can ask Anders, he got all the results. I post the question in the tread "Tävlingar" - "kubdagen" at SveKub, so he can answer there, look there later.

Is this upcoming competition going to be an official WCA tournament? And can I come?

 

[KConny]

Yes it is. I sure hope you can.
It's mainly a competetion for events that was excluded from Swedish Open 2007. The events will be (All WCA events) - (Events at Swedish Open 2007) + (3x3 + Magic + MM). They're not set yet, but you get the idea.

 

[MAHTI-ANSSI]

By the way I just did 9.47 2x2x2 OH average of 10

Yes to all questions, the announsement will probably be up any day by now.

(sorry for the late replay but my own computer broke (again) so I'm at the local library now

Mahti-anssi, did you also try square-1 with feet ?
