Andrea Santambrogio Square-1 single WR 7.41

Andrea? Oh, I guess that's a guy. But yeah, his official best average is 23.20, which is 2.05 times the WR avg.

@TDM: time ratios are a much better measure of how hard a given time is to get. The quality of the "top 100" time depends greatly on how competitive the event is. The 100th best 3x3x3er in the world has a far, far better chance of beating the official 3x3x3 single WR than the 100th best 5x5x5BLDer in the world has of beating the official 5x5x5 BLD WR.

Ah, ok, *best* average. I was confused both because of the gender and because his average in this competition was only 28.50 (and that's despite the 7.41).

The scrambler saw a picture of food on Instagram and got distracted. (Maybe?)

And also, look at the solves. Very consistent then BAM good time. Very very large difference....

Is this a reverse-Telesforo?
 
I was here. No cheat, no wrong scrambles, no "italian style" open, as someone think. He had a simple case in restore the cube shape and he make a little mistake, so he had to turn the cube and then go on, with a skip. Ricostruzione is difficult for this, but I think he's working on his memory to remember better
It's not silly, it's a WR.
Bye

If he can't give a reasonable reconstruction, I'm assuming it would get deleted. Isn't that what the WCA asked telesforo to do?
 
Unlike most of you, I do think this one is legit.

1. It's not unheard of that in square-1 someone can have a much quicker single than his average. For example, see Cachan Open 2011 where several people in one group who averaged in the 50 seconds, suddenly had a sub-15 single on the same solve, due to a very easy but valid scramble.
2. Andrea may just have got a very easy but legitimate scramble, while the other two may have been in another group and got a different scramble. Square-1 scrambling has to been done in at least 2 groups because non square-1 solvers are unlikely to know how to scramble one so you need other square-1 solvers to scramble. Also, even more than with other puzzles, each group will need a unique set of scrambles, because it would be really easy for a scrambler to inspect the puzzle during scrambling and use that knowledge in his own solve later on.

So, I think this WR could very well be legitimate. I'd love to see the scramble though.
 
Just mentioning wasn't there a 7.xx second wr for square 1 removed back on 2007 or so. Due to a mis-scramble.

Still seeing the scramble may help. My square 1 pb single is 27.99 and I average a minute or so. So if this is legit it could of been a pb single for him or a very fast one.

It's hilarious how similar these two statements sound :p (No judgement, just an observation)
