[WR] Marcin Kowalczyk MultiBLD 23/25 in 53:33

[Sillas]

Congrats, you deserve it! One time or another you would take this WR.

 

[Mike Hughey]

I don't think it is allowed to touch the "solved" cubes until he finishes his attempt. He may correct his mistakes.

That is correct. I highly recommend that those who are doing multiBLD attempts carefully instruct their judges as to the rules before they begin. It's a bad feeling to reach for a cube to make a correction, and find that it's not where you left it.

 

[drewsopchak]

Now you must do 27 or 29!

 

[cityzach]

It seems like 23 cubes is the barrier to break in competition haha

anyway, amazing! congrats Maskow!

Well the record can be set with 21 cubes.

not necessarily, 22/22 beats 23/25.

On one hand I don't think the cubes should have been moved, and I would hate for that to happen for me. In general, I like knowing where the cubes are for such a scenario, and there have been multiple occasions where I have went back to fix a cube, including in my 7/7 official solve. On the other hand, Marcin seems to throw the cubes away to the side, with little to no consideration for where they end up, so perhaps it's not something he personally bothers with?

Oh, and congrats on the WR. I feel that the MBLD WR has become a lot more interesting recently, and that the action won't stop soon.

Sorry for my nubbiness, I'm no multi BLD expert.
What I meant by that is 23 cubes is the most cubes ever solved blind folded in competition, so 23 cubes is the amount to beat.

 

[drewsopchak]

21/21 53:32 beats 23/25 53:33

 

[jonlin]

21/21 53:32 beats 23/25 53:33

And 21/21 50:00 beats 23/25 50:00
I'm not very sure though...

Well I told you I wasn't a multi bld expert

 

[cubernya]

No, that's a tie according to current regs

multi bld old style? I have never heard of that.

 

[blackzabbathfan]

I believe in 2008 and before, MBLD had no time limit.

 

[qqwref]

Yeah, MBLD didn't used to have a time limit, so a few people tried very large attempts. 23/x is the most number of cubes officially solved in an hour, though.

This is what I was trying to say

 

[TMOY]

Yeah, MBLD didn't used to have a time limit, so a few people tried very large attempts..

Actually the 10 min/cube time limit was already in effect. For example, Mondo had to solve his 50 cubes in less than 8 hours and 20 minutes, and took "only" 6 hours and 3 minutes for them.

I wonder how many cubes the best multBLDers would attempt today with the old rules, maybe 100 ? Anyway, the multiBLD event would probably have become really unmanageable, and that's the main reason why the 1 hour time limit was added to the rules.

Isn't that a record held by two people? l

It's a bad feeling to reach for a cube to make a correction, and find that it's not where you left it.

That may be true. But from the video, it seems cubes aren't arranged properly or in any neat order, which probably meant he wasn't planning to make an corrections.
