[WR] 50.23 5x5 av5 - 47.25 single by Feliks Zemdegs

Two things:
If this average was his official single, it would still be the world record single.
And, the WR average is now better than the single was just two WR's ago :O

I'm starting to wonder if Feliks is going to max out 5x5. In most other events, records are broken but many other people are not far behind. But in 5x5, there is a similar 'crush' at the very top of the game, around 1:01 to 1:02...and then there's Feliks more than 10 seconds ahead of the rest of the world(obviously excluding Kevin and Sebastian). I know cubing record times have been dropping drastically in the last several years, but it really doesn't seem like an 18% difference, at this level, can be made up.

Feliks - 'and this isn't even my final form. '

I think the most amazing part about his 5x5 is that he had sub1 average. In 2011

Interesting how tps was higher during edges than centers...

I'm not surprised. Edges feel slower because lookahead is harder and pauses are more common, but there are so many flipping algs and (R U R') type triggers... Centers are way less algorithmic.
