[waffle=ijm]

*sighs* I have to set my eyes on a lower time...

 

[Dene]

Woohoo! Well done!

 

[Kian]

And then there were two.

Edit: Two rounds of magic?!?

 

[Edmund]

Congrats. Ridiculous good magic times. I have trouble getting sub 1.3

 

[Faz]

Another one of Kuti's records falls.

Really nice and consistent.
I've got a fair bit of work to do to reach my goal of sub second by worlds

Thanks for the video. Man, the solver's patience impresses me almost as much as his solves. That judge would so **** me off with the huge unnecessary pauses checking the obviously flat enough magic.

Haha, please dont mind on it.

Is there a close-up video of the height-checking procedure, preferably of a slight DNF case? I'm almost thinking they're checking for "at most one tile higher than flat".

I dont have any video, even it is recorded and posted by another cuber, and I just add it on the post. Maybe, other cubers will have other versions on it, as he already "show-up" in the 1st round, and many cubers will focus on him for the 2nd round. If I find any other videos on it, and I add it in th post.

Wow such amazing consistency! It looked like he decided to go a bit faster on the last one because he already had WR avg.

Congratulations!

 

[Edmund]

Those judges were ridiculous at checking the magic.
and LOL at 2 Rounds of Magic. I suppose it was good though because this wouldn't of happened had there been 1 round.

 

[Dave Campbell]

I actually think that was the best judging of an magic event i have ever seen. Sure it could be excessive, but when someone is getting times where it is close to WR territory, i think it needs to be done right. The last thing we want is for there to be questions around a WR's legitimacy. For me, though, the biggest concern with magic is whether the person is stopping the timer separately from touching the puzzle.

But congrats for breaking a longstanding World Record.
