40 Hour Cubeathon

[TheSixthSide]

Hey guys. This Friday and Saturday I'm going to be doing a "Cubeathon" - cubing for 40 hours, to raise money for charity. The event will be from 6:00 AM (UTC+12:00) on Friday to 10:00 PM (UTC+12:00) and I'll be livestreaming the whole thing here. It's to raise money for World Vision, specifically a project of theirs in Ibwera, Tanzania. I'll be engaging with everyone during the 40 hours, and would love to see your support! You can find out more, or donate, here - I'd really appreciate everyone checking that out!

Note: I've posted this here as well as in the general speedcubing discussion forum because I don't really know where it should be posted.

That's really cool! Good luck!
By the way, would this be the world record for the longest time cubing? Has there been anything longer than 24 hours before?

40 straight hours of cubing? I can't even go 5 minutes if I'm in the same room as my mom.

Haha thanks! I don't know if this will be a world record, cos yeah, I dunno if anyone's cubed for longer than 24 hours. I'll break for 3 hours or so in the middle to sleep, but I expect it to be pretty constant apart from that. I'd love to see you guys' support!

Make sure to take a small drink/eating/stretching break every hour or so, I've heard people who have died from this sort of thing actually

Just finished up. 5065 cubes solved. I now appreciate how insanely fast Rowe was in setting the 24 hour record. Anyway, I'm still collecting donations, and I'd really appreciate everyone contributing a little bit! The page is here.
