Edit: I'm also curious how many cubes will be available and what application will be used for scrambles.

His plan is to use ten 54.6mm Lubix FangShi Shuangrens. Six of them will be circulating, and the rest are back-ups.

During the last practice session we were using qqtimer, but we'll probably be using some other scramble generator so we don't have to hit the space bar twice every time. Guinness doesn't specify what scrambles have to be used, other than they should be like "official scrambles".

The best is probably trying to find some cross pieces during PLL.

Unfortunately he's not allowed to see the next cube during his current solve. Guinness has some unusual specifications.

qqtimer on manual mode only requires you pressing enter to get a new scramble

I wonder how long he's planning to spend eating, drinking, and (obviously unplanned) going to the toilet. All of this, together with fatigue, boredom, and other things makes me think this record will be significantly harder to break than people are saying.

Did you say "boredom"? Because I don't think I get bored cubing all day. Granted, I do do other things during a day so I can't really say, but I stop cubing to do those other things only because I need to or I think I ought to. I have so much fun cubing that I need to force myself to stop. Otherwise I could easily sit and cube for hours on end without feeling bored in the least.

But for 24 hours straight? Without any breaks longer than a few minutes? I think I'd be tired after an hour of it, or at least have kinks in my neck.

Might as well use optimal-length ones to save a few moves.

Has anybody tried telling them they're retarded?

You'd be tired after an hour? Wow.

I guess I'm just one of those people who can do certain things for hours on end without getting bored or tired. I can also eat certain same meals for days in a row without getting tired of it either. I am, however, tired of the feeding/diapering/napping cycle every 3 hours though. :p Sometimes I wake up completely disoriented in fact. I don't know if I'm in a bed or a recliner and whether it's day or night.

I even have further evidence for that:

"The most Rubik's cubes solved in 24 hours is 4,786 and was achieved by Milán Baticz (Hungary) in Budapest, Hungary, on 16 November 2008.

Milán Baticz solved the Rubik's cubes as part of a contest held by the Hungarian Rubik's Cube Fan Club from 15-16 November 2008, averaging 18.05 cubes solved each hour."

B*******. How can they require a rule that was obviously not required for the record the currently list? Eric should have a talk with them and either convince them to be reasonable. Because using a kind of procedure that really makes sure he doesn't see the next cube before finishing the last one will surely cost more time then simply not preinspecting the next cube. Not sure if he will even be able to break the record then.

Have you tried asking qqwref? I'm sure there's a simple solution to make it just have the scrambler change (or to stop and start the timer with one key press.

(I had thought the same, but couldn't find anything about it)

Anthony: In your 24h Guinness WR, were you allowed to look at the next cube during LL or was there a restriction so that you could only see the following cube once you had completed the solve?

Milan: there was no restricitions about that

Anthony: Okay, thanks.

Milan: :)
now i could do ~5800
but cubes had to be in random position
and i couldnt touch next until current was finished
