24-Hour Cube Marathon Guinness WR 5800 Cubes - Eric Limeback

[antoineccantin]

You'd be tired after an hour? Wow.

Not necessarily tired as in bored, but also physically tired as you have to stay in a particular position without any breaks.

Both or either. I can spend a lot of time sitting and cubing and not feel bored or tired.

Have you tried asking qqwref? I'm sure there's a simple solution to make it just have the scrambler change (or to stop and start the timer with one key press.

As somebody already suggested, if you put qqtimer in manual entry mode, simply hitting the enter key once will generate a new scramble. Nothing new is needed for this.

 

[blackzabbathfan]

You got this Eric!

 

[Andreaillest]

Get it Eric!

 

[darkerarceus]

Go Eric! I would probably get tired and my hands would hurt after just a few hours.

Anthony: In your 24h Guinness WR, were you allowed to look at the next cube during LL or was there a restriction so that you could only see the following cube once you had completed the solve?

Milan: there was no restricitions about that

Anthony: Okay, thanks.

Milan:
now i could do ~5800
but cubes had to be in random position
and i couldnt touch next until current was finished

Oh wow, that's frustrating. Eric, in my opinion you really should try to talk to whoever your contact person is at Guinness, since it sounds like they have changed the rules on you compared to the previous attempt. Guinness has put in some weird rules on cubing records in the past, and for those we just have to roll with it. However, changing a rule from a previous attempt that they claimed to be the record is frustrating.

If you get hungry or thirsty, I guess you would always ONE HAND IT AND EAT AT THE SAME TIME OR HAVE SOMEBODY FEED YOU FOOD. That would be pretty cool.

Unfortunately he's not allowed to see the next cube during his current solve. Guinness has some unusual specifications.

This is really weird. They are just assuming he can't solve multiple cubes at a time. And since this is a speed competition event, I could only assume he would be able to do that. I wonder if they applied the same rule to most sausage eating competition or similar events.
I think it defeats the purpose of the entire thing, that was to "break the Guinness World Record for most 3x3x3 cubes solved in 24 hours". It's not going to be that, since he will be limited in execution, but "break the Guinness World Record for most 3x3x3 cubes solved in 24 hours solving them one at a time". Good luck though.

I've submitted an inquiry about it on the Guinness website... I agree that it seems kind of silly. And if there really was no restriction on the existing record, I don't think it would be very fair. Being able to inspect cross could easily save 1 second per cube...which would come out to about an hour and twenty minutes...crazy.

Thank you guys for all the support It's going to be pretty challenging

Brest can't do it in two mins
Good luck Eric! I'm pretty sure you can do it.

 

[Cubetastic]

Laurier sponsor? ill wear my hawks snap back

 

[timeless]

maybe cube while standing to get more blood flow = less tired

Good luck Eric! I'm pretty sure you can do it.

you are right, brest is faster

As someone who solved and scrambled 3000 cubes in 24 hours last winter as part of the german "speedcubing marathon" I can only give you one advice: It will hurt. alot. more than you think.

But since you will have other people talking to you and scrambling the cubes for you I'm sure you'll be able to get a new record! Good luck!

 

[BoBoGuy]

Good luck!

 

[MaikeruKonare]

You need to finish one cube every 18.05 seconds to beat the record. This doesn't account for obvious breaks though. Good luck!

 

[RaresB]

Good luck have fun, you got this.
