Guiness WR is 185, I think.

 

[Andrew Ricci]

232 cubes in an hour

How exactly do you go about doing this? Do you have someone scrambling another cube while you solve the current one?

 

[nccube]

More or less. I solve and my cousin scrambles. I use four cubes, just in case he's slow when scrambling. We start with all cubes scrambled and he scrambles the cubes when I solve them.

 

[freshcuber]

The vid of the guy who set the WR on youtube had about ten cubes and they were already scrambled so he set down the solved one picked up the unsolved and then someone scrambled the other one. I did the math and 232 cubes in an hour is about 15 seconds per cube including inspection. You WCA profile has you with a 12.81 Ao5. Even if you average twelve seconds per cube that's only three seconds inspection. I'd love to see a sped up video of this. Or even just you doing it for twenty or so solves.

 

[nccube]

OK, I'll try. But I will probably film the vid next weekend, as I won't be able to meet my cousin until then. Also, if you are interested, I don't really inspect the cubes. I grab them and start solving inmediately. The only problem is that cross takes too long.

 

[freshcuber]

Yea I assume you just glance at the cube quickly to try to find the cross pieces. Are you CN?

No warm-up just a little 5x5 beforehand.

Hows that Eric?

Yeah, basically that. I'm opposite colour-neutral (White and yellow)

 

[Shortey]

This isn't a chat.

 

[freshcuber]

Yea that's helpful. Do you look at the next cube while finishing the previous one? Like during PLL do you look for the next cube's cross?

First sub20 avg12 ever!

 

[qqwref]

8:35.822 42 cube relay on the computer. Works out to 12.28 seconds/cube, a bit disappointing, but this relay felt good for me.

 

[chris410]

Not speed related but, I figured out how to solve my 7x7 on my own, by using what I know form other cubes.

Sub-20 OH Average of 12!!!

18.76, 17.24, 21.04, 21.23, (16.02), (25.33), 20.57, 18.82, 18.68, 16.95, 21.31, 20.08 = 19.47

A sub-20 OH avg12 has been my cubing goal for such a long time .

 

[Robert-Y]

^congratulations. I'm out of shape and Rowan has gotten a sub 18 avg of 12. My best avg of 12 is 18.xx. We need to catch up to him

Did some averages this evening and I'm still around 18-19, should be fun to see what happens with my new found motivation to practice cubing again and branch out...

 

[Kian]

Took me 30 competitions, but I finally got a sub 15 average. Also got my first sub 25 oh average and a 18.xx nl OH solve at SJC. Hopefully I can improve on some things for Brown in two weeks!

Congrats, I saw that solve, ridiculously fast man.
