Okay I'm double posting because that attempt is so special to me I think it deserves a post dedicated to itself

I gotta be honest, it wasn't a "straight" attempt. I went for dinner at 152, then came back half an hour later to complete the remaining 348 non-stop, not even toilet breaks, honest Minus dinner time, it took about 6 hours.

My fingers are kinda shaking now, not unlike my last average of 100 attempt for OH F2L (in some other thread), and my back is pretty damn stiff from 5 hours of sitting in the same position without moving, so is my neck. Seriously, RSI can go screw itself I really hope this is gonna pay off, I'm already seeing signs, good signs Here are some did-you-knows (inspired by Erik )...

Did you know...
...that blah broke his single PB with a lucky Sune + PLL skip 10.32 solve?
...that blah broke his average of 12 PB? An amazing 15.23!
...that blah broke his average of 5 PB (not that he ever kept track of them before, it just so happens that the new CCT does it for him )? An astounding 14.41!
...that blah got his first ever LL skip in his life?
...that that LL skip was only a 12.00 solve?
...that blah has done more than 1000 solves in 2 days? (He did an average of 100 a couple of hours before he did the average of 500.)

I'm tempted to try an average of 500 soon, I did an average of 100 the other day and it took less than an hour, I do about 500 solves each day anyway

I used to think I did about 500 solves each day. Now I know I don't. There's no way. I'd say at most 200 on a day with a lotta free time. I don't think all the random cubing I do in a day ever adds up to 6 hours, and I cube quite a lot. And my fingers never hurt this bad before. Why don't you try an average of 500 too? Then you'll begin to doubt whether you really do 500 solves everyday, don't trust your instincts

your worst time is 17.71? Really? In 600 solves you didnt once apply the wrong OLL/PLL, or screwed up something on the F2L?

17.71 was the worst time for the best rolling average, read carefully Though the worst time was still sub-20, and so is the worst time of this new average of 500, which is something I'm very proud of

there is no spoon... ;-)

Chris

You just gotta love that line

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

Clearly you are insane.

 

[MTGjumper]

Wow. Have you got blisters now?

The largest average I've ever done was of 50. This is on a whole new level, and gives a new definition to "practice".

 

[Faz]

i have done an average of 100... once.

I love the new CCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fanwuq]

I can't believe you people. The most I've done is about 130 solves the day before Princeton open.
I usually solve at most 20 at a time (OH on the bus). It gets really tiring and I'd go crazy if I do more. It really didn't feel good when I did that 130 solves in a row. I do however practice PLL quite often, maybe 10 PLLs and do each 20 times.

 

[krnballerzzz]

reminds me of my 24 hour cube marathon attempt...

 

[hdskull]

wow, freaking awesome, no 20+ solves.

 

[Derrick Eide17]

hey hey a little respect here. what about me? i did 1000+ solves in 1 friggin day before

 

[blah]

reminds me of my 24 hour cube marathon attempt...

Inspired by that actually But I didn't have 20 people doing the scrambling for me So my fingers were doing double the work, probably more than double because scrambling is just full speed braindead spamming, which is more "efficient" in causing fatigue

wow, freaking awesome, no 20+ solves.

Actually, there were two solves, 25.xx and 21.xx, because my cross took something like 10 seconds because I did it on the wrong face and found that the F2L slots didn't quite fit in, if you know what I mean, it happens when you do opposite cross frequently, but I discarded that time because, well :rolleyes:...

I just did a 100 solve average:
