Gigacage? Tss, why not Teracage!

[Sakarie]

Kirjava inspired me, by showing how he solved a gigaminx, with the cage method (edges and corners first). Well, I had the time, so I gave it a shot!

Scrambled cube (It's soo annoying too scramble!). Time is 01:12 am

Finished the cage in 70, and went to bed. (Look close, and you'll see I'm actually already in bed).

I started with the star, since I ACTUALLY found it most fun, and perhaps even faster than the other centers.

Last two pieces solved with (3R'w 3Lw) 3u (3Rw 3L'w) F'2 (3R'w 3Lw) 3u' (3Rw 3L'w) F2. I kind'a used that commutator all the time, with lot's of setups, and just exchanging the 3u' with any 3.

Solved:

Total time estimated to 5,2 hours, but it wasn't constantly turning; compared to my normal solve time 1h20.

Experience learned: NEVER do that again.

Haha. Was it worth doing once?

you're doing THAT instead of practising BLD for Swedish open??! ^^

Congratulations?

Well, in one way, it was kind of fun! In another way, NO!

Yeah, I'm afraid it's so. Unfortunately the inspiration of practising comes after competition...

That looks like fun to me.

I really want to solve a giga/teraminx, but my guess is it's something I'd only ever do once. It just seems too boring.
