This WR can be compared to Gungz (Yu Jeong Min)'s 11.76 average back in early 2007, when he beated the former record by nearly a second and a half (previous being 13.22 held by Anssi).

One interesting observation is that Anssi's last solve in his 13.22 s average included a terrible missake and he had to redo the last step. Without that misstake, he would have had a sub-13 average and then have had beaten the old record by about 1.5 s.

I am quite convinced that quite a lot of similar observations can be made.

Gungz record was not beat by 1.5 seconds.
 
Maybe Lucas is better at this kind of stuff but I think I got most of it besides the cross figured out.
It seems like it was kinda like:
F = yellow
U = orange

Cross (totally not sure) U' l R U R (5)
F2L 1 and 2 U U' R U' R' U' y' R U2 R' U' R U R' (13)
F2L 3 and 4 L' U L2 U' L' U' L' U' L U L' U L (13)
LL U' F R U R' U' R U R' U' F' U U (13)
Total: 44
I counted the U U' of course since it's basically what I did and the U U is also on purpose cause I really dit it like U....U boom.
If I do this backwards the beginning position (actually only the U and the B face) are almost similair to what I see on the vid.
 
Skip or not, lucky or not, 7.08 is amazing.

Even with 3 pieces of a cross in the right place and two pairs after scramble i only managed a 18second solve last night :(
 
Until I can get FTP to work, I can't upload files to my site...

Erik Akkersdijk's 7.08 Solve
Czech Open 2008, July 12-13, 2008
(World record single solve.)

Scramble (green on top, white in front, cross on D):

43 moves total (1 redundant), 6.07 tps.
Reconstructed by Lucas Garron on July 16 from this video.

That seems quite accurate although I'm sure that the cross was not correct still (or my memory just sucks) ;)
Now I really preserve the pair with an extra U move, I'm very sure I didn't do that but just saw that the pair would still be there after I made the cross normally.
If only I could see the F side at the video xD
Good work though Lucas, your reconstruction is already closer than mine :)
 
Scramble = D2 R2 F2 L' B2 R F2 R' F2 D2 U2 R U B D B2 L2 B' L R2 F' (21f) (Start with Up = White, Front = Green)
Rotate cube during inspection = y' x
U' (l R) U R' u (Cross + preserve pair)

U' y' R U U R' U' R U R' (2nd pair)
L' U L2 U' L' (3rd pair)
U L' U U L U' L' U L (4th pair)
U' U' F R U R' U' R U R' U' F' (OLL)
U U (PLL)

Could have been no AUF!

I don't think it can be compared to Yu Jeong Min's 11.76 average, because it was an average. And one solve can never be compared with an average. Yu Jeong Min's 11.76 average was so incredible when he did it... And still very hard to reach (don't agree Harris ? ;-) )... One solve will only stay one solve.

So the first person to get sub 10 average is more incredible than the first person to get sub 7 solve right Edouard ;-) I've always been aiming at averages, not the single solve; because the one with the fastest average is considered the fastest cuber, not the one with the fastest single solve, right?

If i don't get sub 12 average in the next competition, I think that I'm going to...keep on trying :P

Nice save Harris xD
 
Haha, this just got me thinking how lucky I am to have a supportive girlfriend...how many of you have significant others who don't approve of your cubing hobby?

I taught the girl I like just the 3x3, but she doesn't count as a significant other, right? :P
