【最失望的一集！二阶魔方官方平均1.21秒 错失世界纪录-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/gk3iocw

Video from Bilibili.

1.89, 0.95, 0.78, (0.61), (2.51)
= 1.21 avg

(WPA in this avg, BPA is 0.78)

From the description:

Feel sleepy while doing the first solve, so he didn't solve it seriously, then he seized the chances to sub 1 for the next 3 solves, but last solve was too difficult to get a good time.

Later when he recon, he found out that it's easily to get a 0.9X if he takes it seriously.



He posted this video on 19th, but I don't know which comp it is, guess it's Chongqing 2023?
(Held on 18th, in China and has 2×2 event)

He is the 5th person to get multiple counting sub-1s in their career (Zayn, Martin Egdal, Yiheng, Teodor Zajder) and is the 2nd to get multiple in one average (Zayn)

 

[Arcanist]

Honestly I really hope Zayn gets a sub 1 average before anyone else.

 

[OtaMota]

Honestly I really hope Zayn gets a sub 1 average before anyone else.

Yeah, I still think he will, but its going to be a lot closer.

A year ago, I thought Zayn would be first to sub-1, and it would take a couple of years for someone else to be sub-1. Now, the idea of someone else getting sub-1 before him is not a crazy idea at all.

So, 1.27 or better 5th solve would have given him the WR.

It's interesting to see how many people have been almost breaking the wr recently.

Also pretty sick to see stickered puzzles still in use.

 

[OtaMota]

So, 1.27 or better 5th solve would have given him the WR.

1.31* 0.95+0.78+1.31 = 3.04/3 = 1.0133 round down to 1.01 equals WR.

 

[UncleFrank]

1.31* 0.95+0.78+1.31 = 3.04/3 = 1.0133 round down to 1.01 equals WR.

That just ties the current WR. 1.28 to break it?

 

[OtaMota]

That just ties the current WR. What to break it?

1.28, I gave 1.31 because you said to give WR, and 1.31 would give WR, though as a tie, 1.28 would break it.
