[Unofficial] 7x7 OH 7:44.63

Because the whole reason OH is a challenge is because you also have to hold the puzzle. For large puzzles this requires a lot of skill to do well. Just having the puzzle sit on the table the whole time removes all of the difficulty. And now this guy has wasted the time of everyone who ever tried to do this event legitimately.

yeah, if you cant beat the WR then cubing is pointless, right? LOL !

or you could just have a table abuse/non table abuse UWR

or you could not count this as UWR

No, more like "if someone can beat your time by cheating and get the same recognition then your efforts are pointless". If he did the same event I did and got a better time, I'd be happy for him.

I wish I could do these, but I know everyone but me thinks table abuse is completely fine and should be used in all cases.

Eh, that's a good point. It's still technically "OH", right?

According to the WCA rules, maybe. But they didn't allow table abuse so people could do stuff like this, they allowed it so new people wouldn't get disqualified by not being familiar with the OH rules. For a big cube where almost all of the difficulty is contained in trying to both hold and turn the cube at the same time, it's definitely cheating.

dooeet anyway. I think table abuse bigcube OH makes it too easy. 11x11 OHITA plz.
I wish I could. I tried 9x9x9 earlier and after about 18 minutes (and most of the centers) I didn't have the motivation to keep going.

Defneeately nut tru. Maybe they should allow stopping timer with wrists just in case n00bs get confused :p

If they allowed it for your reason, why would it be allowed for megaminx :)
