[Unofficial] Joel, Erik and Kai: drunken cubing

[KJiptner]

Joel and Erik visited Me from monday to thursday night. So we made the best out of it and got drunk. Funny how Erik still gets sub 12s...

 

[F.P.]

Joel still seems to be "fresh"...Kai, you look really wasted though.

Yes, my condition was the worst.

Just tell me:
1) Why your averages were already bad at 22:39?
2) How you all got drunk in just 52 (minus 5 solves) minutes?
3) If there was any green nebula behind a car ?
4) Did you drive the extra km to the Czech Republic?

Scientifically speaking I noticed that lookahead (especially between F2L->OLL and OLL->PLL) was bad, while turns-per-second didn't really seem to be affected. Does that mean being drunk influences the mind much more than the body and that "muscle memory" is hardly affected at all?

And Kai, I don't think you got sub-20 averages 3 years ago. I remember us racing pretty evenly around German Open 2007. (You were by far the most drunk).

Also notice how everyone's English seems to be pretty much OK

 

[KJiptner]

1) We started pretty early... but 1h after this we were even more drunken but I got a 16.xx avg and Erik got a 12.xx avg.
2) We were already a bit drunk on the first avg...
3) I don't remember.
4) No, but Misa was on vacation anyway.

and yeah, that 3 yrs ago was a bit overstated... I started cubing in sept 06...

 

[Bounb]

Hahahaha brilliant

 

[smskill12]

i love it when ppl say **** when there drunk its just seems funny
sorry for my french

 

[AvGalen]

3) I don't remember.

But hopefully Erik understands what I meant by that question.

 

[Erik]

I surely do, but there was none. This was for 2 reasons:
I don't drink that much again ever. Also we didn't go in any car after it.

 

[alexc]

Haha, I love when Kai gets the PLL skip and Erik gets the 11.xx!

You guys should get one of these.

 

[Erik]

why? To test if you are drunken enough to compete in 'drunk cubing'?

 

[cpt.Justice]

How drunk does one need to be? I think there is a guy in UWR who only had a single glass of wine or something like that...

 

[badmephisto]

you could make a graph of %alcohol blood level vs. average That would be interesting. Funny vid, From what I recall when I cube drunk, my finger speed was definitely affected, just as my mental ability, about equally.
The single time i was high, a few months ago, i tried cubing and that was much funnier. My average increased at least 300%, its much worse than being drunk. And the best part about it was that I totally thought I was going really quickly, and then read off numbers like 36 seconds. The effect is still there when drunk, but slightly less convincing.

11.33 is the UWR for this if it was nonlucky.

you should have done some team blind solves. those are the best while "not sober."

"Ok.. L. no the other L"
"you mean R?"
"no the other one"
"R'?"
"no, L'."
"ok"
"that was R'..."
"my bad, there we go"
"Ok the OLL is like a D shape"
"thats not a shape"
"yeah its like a P but without the thingy under it, its flipped or something"
"..... i'm just gonna start doing F R U R' U' F'..."

and so forth.

come to think about it, i actually got my former 4x4 PB while "not sober"

i think this might make a new competition: drunk 3x3
rules: each competitor drinks 3 glasses of wine, then wait for 30 minutes. then somebody does a 5 move scramble.

 

[pjk]

Erik, how can you keep such a good look-ahead? I often have a hard time remembering my LL algs.

I like this quote, haha:
"Don't try this at home or you might break your legs" - Kai

 

[Erik]

I guess some cubing stuff is so deep in your mind that you even can do it while drunk. And for the record we had a bit more than 3 glasses of wine...
Oh and the 11.33 was not lucky if my memory serves me well...

 

[nitrocan]

well if this would be a competition, i dont think wca would want all those competitors to be completely wasted .
