Big team solve!

[Escher]

me and my friends did two cubes concurrently the other night. there were about 6 of us solving a move at a time, and throwing it to the other... it was amazing! LL was fun... seeing as we did 4look, but not everybody knew the same algs! f2l was very interesting - trying to work out the previous persons move and method was fun. i heartily recommend it! especially after the introduction of alcohol...
any other big team cubing stories out there?

me and another friend then did a two person team solve and got a sub min seeing as we know different OLLs and PLLs i cant say it was too easy...

Me, Erik, Rama and Arnaud spent over 20minutes trying to team solve a 2x2.
Team solving a revolution is fun too

Six people and only two cubes? Try the six person six cube teamsolve! Extra fun when two of the six are Roux solvers and one uses a different color cross.

Hmmm. Do we not remember the old team solve threads? They were quite popular for a time!

I wasn't here for it. I joined right after it died... (Revive?)

Bah. Real cubers do 5x5x5 supercube and 7x7x7 for big team solves.

And Matyi's group does 3x3x3 BLD with 2-sec memos.

Two cubes ought to be enough for anybody.

not kevin pjk and i did that after boulder 08 in a restaraunt.. took us forever!

 

[Escher]

we only had 2 between us... (well, 3, but one was missing a cubie from a huuuuge pop earlier) and lucas, noone we know HAS a 7x7, and the guy with a 5x5 wasnt around...
lol and 2/3rds of the people there average about a minute so we did alright!
i definitely think that some more team solves are in order soon...
ill keep this updated!

While scrambling at SOC 2008 me an Mattias Claesson did a team solve. We agreed to all but 3-4 turns during the second F2L pair, else the whole solve was fluid

But of course, it was wery easy, 3-4 move x-cross, easy pairs, M' U M U2 M' U M for OLL and a N-PLL and we used the same alg for that one =) (the OLL probably all uses the MU alg?)

Not important enough to be called by my name, I see!

With the group one, 3 of the people knew either 4LL or worse, so it was pretty tough But yeah Escher, we can beat 57 seconds or whatever our team solve record was, I reckon we can get sub 40

team solving should become an official event at WCA competitions.

Untill then it is my favorite event during the evenings surrounding WCA competitions.

And 2x2x2 is the most fun. It is almost impossible unless you get a very obvious scramble (or clearly display your move and the cube position)

 

[Escher]

lol sorry chukk...
i think i might learn the 2-gen z perm, n some more OLLs tonight and show me your V!
i think sub-40 is quite readily achievable, with a bit of practice
