Good luck Eric Limeback! You da man!

 

[bryson azzopard]

good luck limeback!

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Yay! Go Eric! He would have to solve about 200 cubes each hour which would allow for 18 seconds per solve which is twice what he averages.

 

[sneaklyfox]

Yeah but leave a bit of time for inspection. Actually, I wonder what is the strategy... inspect for cross and solve as normal or just start and do whatever pieces you see? If I remember, I'll check out the livestream. I hope he breaks the record!

 

[Brest]

Brest?

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Brest?

Lol. You will be reconstructing for days.

 

[legoanimate98]

days.

If he had to reconstruct 5,000 solves at 2 mins per solve, that would be 166 2/3 hours. If he did it for 8 hours per day, that would be about 21 days, or 3 weeks.

You just got over-analyzed.

Good luck eric!

 

[tx789]

good luck.

 

[rock1313]

18 seconds per cube! You can do it Eric!!!! :tu

 

[notfeliks]

Yay! Go Eric! He would have to solve about 200 cubes each hour which would allow for 18 seconds per solve which is twice what he averages.

Don't forget though, there is the factor of tiredness (I'm sure he'll get plenty of sleep the day before but it IS 24 hours of straight cubing) as well as hunger and thirst. It might only take him ten seconds or less to have a glass of water but that is one less cube solved in that time. Either way this is going to be very interesting and I hope he gets 5k+. Anyone wanna guess how many skips he'll have?

Anyone wanna guess how many skips he'll have?

Not as many as he would like

 

[immortalchaos29]

Haha awesome. I am so excited for this.

WR is 5000 cubes
Guinness WR is 4786

Don't forget that restroom breaks will be needed. I'm also sure he will need to pause to stretch/rest his hands for a few seconds at a time as well.

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

 

[Tim Major]

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.

You just got over-analyzed.

Is there a Guiness-record for most reconstruction in 24 hours?

Else:
Will be there breaks, like 10 minutes in every 2 hours, when the clock is stopped?
