Fantastic Mike! As always, you hope that people will do more neckbreaking solves, and the WR and UR to go as low as possible, but you definitely deserves it!Did I finally get the UWR back?!?!?
7x7x7 BLD: 45:52.97 [23:24]
Baaaaaaaammmmm!!!!!!!
This was the first scramble from the weekly competition 2010-13. I spent 56 seconds (I looked because it seemed like way too much time) trying to find a way to reorient it, and then stuck with the original orientation. (So it could have been almost a minute faster. ) When I finished memorizing, it felt REALLY secure, so I figured I'd go for it and solved as fast as I could. I never checked to make sure I was turning the right slice. After a minute or two of that, I convinced myself that surely I already had a DNF, so I might as well go as fast as possible the whole time - if it was correct, it would be a UWR, and if it was incorrect, it would mean I'd waste less time on the attempt. And it paid off - solved!
Okay Ville, it took me almost a year, but I finally beat your first successful solve. Time for you to try again.
YES!!!!
I finally solved the 4x4BLD! At my 12th attempt I made it with a time of 20:39.80. I'm really excited now, especially since I had another attempt earlier tonight with a three-cycle edges wrong in 18:20.
Good job! It's great to know that your efforts been rewarded!
