Hey

Single time records are fun, but ultimately do not prove much. That's why the champion is crowned by average time(s). And of course single time WR's will all be lucky cases eventually. It's unavoidable

I think it is ok to assume the 4x4x4 WR was lucky OR that he really messed up on the other 4 solves:

55.03 1:07.11 1:05.69 59.09 41.16

. It is very weird that the WR-holder with 41.16 has a second best time of 55.03. (It reminds me a little of the 2x2x2 single WR: 5.97 8.69 9.55 1.63 6.69 and his second best time being 3.97)

3.97 or 5.97?

Yumu's WR single is just like a crazier version of my WR single. My 46.03 was my personal best solve by over 2 seconds. I just happened to get a REALLY good solve in competition.

He's very good in just about every category!
This is an impressive record, though Erik can probably beat it soon.

I had a 4x4 solve at EC where I was done with my edges at 26 seconds! I only had to build 7 pairs. Altough I had made the centers wrong and had to change two of them and then I just started messing up alot on the 3x3 stage and I got double parity so the time was crap. I avg 1:10 on 4x4 and if I can do that Yumu sure can get 41 seconds.

Personally...though I know Erik is the better solver, I don't care. Erik still has the average record by 1.71 seconds, which is a fair amount.
Though its disappointing to lose the single record, as other people said, it really doesn't mean much (as evidenced by the rest of Yumu's average)

Dang Yumu is so young and already has the WR single for 4x4? Jeez, Erik needs to step up his game xDDD

P.S. - If you tell people the WR single for the 3x3, then they're amazed, but usually get ahead of themselves and start thinking that all solves are like that. A single can be really lucky while the rest of the average sucks. My point is just that averages are more important than singles Singles are awesome though!

3.97 is his second best time. It was done in another competition.

And Erik, let's just keep going to competitions from now on every weekend. We have Danish, Dutch and German tournaments coming in the next 3 weekends, 1 weekend of relaxing, then maybe Swiss/UK and then Netherlands again

What's luck got to do, got to do with it
What's luck but a second hand solution
What's luck got to do, got to do with it
Who needs records when records can be broken
