[Official] 9.66 3x3x3 single- Sarah Strong

[Sa967St]

Ahah, sub10 finally!

Canadian Open, round 1 solve 3.

 

[antoineccantin]

Congrats on your first official sub-10

 

[buelercuber]

!! i remember you yelling! lol nice job sarah!

 

[EnterPseudonym]

Nice, even with ~6 cube rotations.

 

[choza244]

Very nice, I also want an official sub 10, but I'm far away from that xD.

I like your cube, is so smooth.

 

[Julian]

Congrats!

 

[aminayuko]

awesome, no pauses, not even for the oll and pll transition

 

[cuberkid10]

Girls represent!

 

[MovingOnUp]

Way to go. Now you have to go for an average of sub 10

 

[Tim Major]

9 second solve, 9 posts, 99 views... WHERE'S W.E.B

Great solve, saw it on YouTube.

 

[iEnjoyCubing]

Nice job and great solve! And an odd color scheme by the way, but still neat.

 

[James Cavanauh]

YAY congrats.

 

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

y3 after cross and still sub-10.

boss'd

Nice solve. :tu I like how happy you sound! *jumps* Yes! =)

OMGWTF colour scheme! That made reconstruction harder than usual.
There are some crazy cube rotations in there.
PLL looks more like this U (yx) l U2 l' B' l U2 L' U l' B' r O_o

 

[Sa967St]

Do I really do that many rotations?
Most of the *crazy cube rotations* are like half-rotations, just tilting and not fully rotating.

The solve felt more like:

x' y D' U' x' U2 r' U z'y // cross (on left)
y3 R' U2 R U R' U' R2 U' R' U' y R' U R //first 2 pairs
U' y2' R U2 R2' U' R U R U R' // last 2 pairs
U2 F R U R' U' F' // OLL (preserving 2 certain blocks, therefore knowing the PLL would be a J perm)
U y R U2 R' U' R U2 L' U R' U' L // J perm spamming!

Most of the *crazy cube rotations* are like half-rotations, just tilting and not fully rotating.

That is very true and one of the hard things to translate while reconstructing. Especially as the camera angle is (usually) very different to the cubers' actual view. Your video was also a 'hand held' filming so there is the typical bobbing that a tripod eliminates. Not that I'm complaining, it is a good video.

I've noticed that the more proficient solvers do a lot of tilting half-rotations, which I'm presuming is for better look-ahead and comfort. Anything else?

I'll compare your reconstruction with the video when I've got a chance, I really like the solve. Well, apart from the colour scheme!

Edit
I still think the rotations at the end of cross are more like yxy y y than z'y y3. The other rotations I'll give you! (=
Great solve. I really like the cross, and the Jperm is sweet.

 

[teller]

Woohoo!! Go Sarah with the sick J Perm!

 

[Jungleterrain]

nice. Yeah the color scheme is "woah"
