105x105x105 Rubik's cube solve attempt

[Ellsming]

should do yau105, would make centres nice and easy for you

Nah, layer by layer is clearly the way to go.

I think reducing to a 15x15x15 cube would be easiest.

Current progress:

~20 hr. into the solve.

52/618 rows solved. (8.414%)

I should have some motivation back, since 50%+ of the face is now solved. At this pace, the centers should be done in roughly 240 hours' solve time.

lol ONLY 240 hours. the casual way he said it

200 hours, you don't have to solve the last one.

and, you have removed all green from the U face so that will probably decrease that time by a bit more too

Any update, soup?

Now that the record is 111x111x111, I'll be abandoning this solve.

Final standings:
20.083 hours. ~53% green face completed, 22198 moves.

I'll do a 115x115x115 solve instead.

Do you mind restarting? You must be quite pissed, no?

Do you mind restarting? You must be quite pissed, no?

No. Disappointed, but not exactly frothing at the mouth with rage.

The annoying part is that this cube will have 12960 more centers than the 105.

soup, keep up your big cubes attempts. Even if you are not the one with The Record there are still people who notice, and are inspired by, the big cubes attempts you are doing.

It really inspired me to see that you were attempting a 105x105x105, and I even told some of friends about you. It saddens me to know that you are abandoning this attempt so easily (after Michael's 111x111x111 attempt).

If you are really in this for the record, then study Michael's method, try it several times on a smaller cube like a 10x10x10 or 20x20x20. If you can learn and understand his method, then you will be in a much better position to try to beat his records.

Good luck on your future attempts!

Well.. the attempt no longer lives up to what it was intended for, so I had to abandon it. 2nd place is the first loser, as they say. I'm taking a short break from pursuing a world record... I'll be working on a 60x60, since there aren't any listings for cubes of that size. Should be done in about a day's worth of solve time. I'll see if I can keep up with the large cube attempts.

Speaking of that, how about a thread for huge cube solves? (say, 20x20+)

I really feel sad whenever I read something like this from other cubers

Good luck with your attempts. I know you will find much success. I only wish you would enjoy yourself more in the process :/
