blindfold guinness wr

Hi all

I posted here some time ago a video in Lo Show dei Records Guinnes (Italy, I am from Spain). In February the rubik blindfold guinness record was 41 seconds not including memorization (you can use 10 minutes for memorization) and with a new not lubed cube. I dont remember the name of the guy that holds this record (maybe Danyang Chen, someone from China or Japan).

I know it because the organizers of the program offer me to try to beat this record. I knew that it was almost impossible for me and I told it to them but any case they offered it to me again and since they paid enough, I accepted. My time was 1 minute 5 seconds:

My attempt was 1' 5" not including memo but with a new and unlubed cube. You can check the video, they opened it there.

The guinness WR (41") doesn't include memorization and the cube was also new and unlubed.
 
Well those records are not recognized by the speedcubing community. All WCA records can only be broken in competition. In this case we set the standards and not Guiness's ;)!

lol I need to elarn it quick so I can get the wr!

don't take my idea though I wanna trophy!!!
 
The Guiness attempt in Atlanta was something like "Most people solving the Rubik's Cube in 1 hour" or something like that. There was no current record. They wanted people to go over to a side table, solve, and the hold the cube in front of a camera.

I'm guessing the record was probably broken by Princeton or a Caltech comp. But they didn't force people to use unlubed cubes.

Me (I don't know him)
But I did participate in the WR(attempt) in Atlanta. Someone asked me if I could solve it, I solved it, I was asked to write down my name as someone that was able to solve it, I wrote down my name, haven't heard anything afterwards. I might be one of few people that actually holds a Guinness WR without knowing it.
 
I can lend you the 2005 edition of that DVD, though it sounds like the 2008 edition has much more. I'd like to watch that one, too.

Arnaud: Jason Garfield is a juggler. Very good, very funny, very mean. One of my role models.
