Johannes, why not compete in BLD?

Looks like Anssi hasn't been practicing much.

Johannes, why not compete in BLD?

Because I suck.

Because I suck.

Agreed.

Good to see Mr. Vanhala isn't really improving in feet solving. I honestly think a 40ish average is possible. 3 second cross, 6 seconds for each pair, 6 second OLL, 7 second PLL.

Maybe I'm aiming too high.

 

[MAHTI-ANSSI]

Improving would need practising

 

[Dene]

Exactly . So while you let your feet solving skills slide I will sneak up and steal your WR's!! (maybe even by the end of the year!)

You'll die

Because I suck.

You would have been 2nd with an average successful solve.

Your post contributes much to this discussion. I think feetsolvers should provide their own stackmats. Ron tried to make the argument that feet are "cleaner" than hands. Even though the variety of bacteria on hands is much more diverse and probably more deadly, the moisture on the feet makes bacterial growth on the feet much more rapid, and transmission easier.

In general on any given day, I will lick your hand if you lick my feet. Anyone want to take me up on this deal?

(Hands are also washed throughout the day. Feet are not.)

I think this is a good idea. Obviously bacteria on hands are worse, but feet (unless freshly cleaned) are going to be in much worse condition.

That Mr. Vanhala you are refering to is younger than you

The only Mr. Vanhala I know is Mr. Petri Vanhala. But you are right, he hasn't improved

Age doesn't matter! All I need is a last name
