my record for one essay is from 9AM to 12.30PM.
i think i had a total of one hour break for food and general rest...
very, very important coursework definitely engages the adrenaline XD

My record is taking 35 exams in 10 days. I was switching from practical physics to commercial economy and did the entire first year in the last 3 weeks. I made enough exams (about half) to procede to the second year. During those 10 days I read/skimmed/studied about 30 books (200 pages on average) and slept a total of 12 hours.

Now that I think about that, I feel extremely lazy and stupid for not knowing all PLL's after almost 3 years of speedcubing. I guess my priorities have changed.
 
I will occasionally study an entire day from when I wake up to when I go to bed in order to get ready for a test (around 12-14 hours). I typically do this on Saturdays.
 
2x2 avg of 12:
3.71 (2.19) 4.11 (5.66) 5.27 3.71 5.02 2.50 3.58 4.38 3.93 3.72 ==> 3.99
the 2.19 was xll skip, and at the 2.50 orient+split up could be done together, and easily.
not that bad, but not pb:cool: (but that was done ages ago, and I don't remember the result.)
 
I successfully taught someone how to solve the cube. It's the only person I've found that's actually interested. He can now solve it all from memory.

also, I'm getting consistent sub-40 averages now, which is an improvement for me.

Wow! That is some serious sleep deprivation! Very close to the WR for sleep deprivation of 264 hours. You must have been burnt out at the end of those 10 days.

I don't know anything about that WR, but it wasn't like I didn't sleep for 10 days. I alternated between no sleep and 2 hours of sleep. The longest I have ever been without sleep was 3 *24 and some hours when I was 17 and celibrating graduating "highschool". This year during+after US Open I did 2*24 and 6 hours. I guess practise works for this as well :p

Good average, but look at the SD: really nice and consistent. The 2.92 was a PLL skip. Also, no sup 7.

PB average 10 of 12:

Average: 14.72 sec.
Standard Deviation: 1.35
Individual Times: 13.85, 16.08, 15.38, 15.49, (16.21), 14.94, 16.05, 13.46, 15.74, (11.36), 14.42, 11.83

First 11 was non-lucky, second was a PLL skip.

11.36:

F' L2 B' D2 F U D' R2 B U' R U' R2 B' R L' F2 B2 U B R2 F R B' L'

Cross: y’ F L F D’ U’ L (6)
F2L 1: y’ U’ R U R’ (4)
F2L 2: y’ U R U R’ (4)
F2L 3: y’ U’ L’ U’ L (4)
F2L 4: y U’ L’ U’ L y’ U R U R’ (8)
OLL: R U R’ U’ r R’ U R U’ r’ (10)
PLL: U’ L2 U’ L’ U’ L U L U L U’ L U (13)

= 49 @ 11.36 = 4.31 tps

I would say that was one of my nicest solves ever. One of my favourite OLLs into U perm :D New NL PB too.
