4x4 Race Thread (45s/1m/1m30s/2m)

Arnaud van Galen, Round 22: 1:13.05
1:17.99 1:07.88 1:08.40 1:05.22 1:07.65 1:16.33 1:10.16 1:16.71 1:11.59 1:18.33 1:15.50 1:49.40
Comment: First solves hardly had any parities, last solves all had OLL (and most PLL as well). Even after years I STILL hate this randomness. Best Average 3/5: 1:07.98 (1:17.99 1:07.88 1:08.40 1:05.22 1:07.65)

Oh dear. I was supposed to update this, wasn't I? I'm getting far too busy for to keep up this thread, would anybody like to take over?

I am to unreliable at the moment to take over. While travelling I just don't have internet access all the time. I am pretending Round 23 was on time and posting scrambles for that round, and for Round 24 already.

Is it a version 2 or 3? Which do you think is better if it is a version 3?

I have no idea! I didn't even know there were multiple versions. Tell me how to distinguish them and I can give you an answer. All I can tell you right now is that it turns amazingly smooth out of the box, doesn't lock, doesn't misalign, doesn't cut corners very well, has stickers that are a bit too dark and is "just not as fast as an X-Cube" although I can't seem to find out why. I am loving it for now. Best 444 I have owned

Version 2 as normal anchors that look like the inner visible edges on a 6x6. Version 3 is a lot bigger then version 2 and has much more to it besides being a simple hook.

Was going to join this thread myself but note we have a slight organiser issue currently. If you want me to take over the admin of the thread I would be very happy to, would be nice to give something back given all the race threads I belong to that cost others admin time!!
