5 in 6 days

This is so amazing! Way to go, Patrick!

I wonder if Chris Hardwick is seeing all this. I hope so - he deserves so much of the credit for getting it all going. To think that just a little over 2 years ago (at the end of 2006), there were only 2 people in the world who had ever done a 4x4x4 BLD in competition, and now we had 5 new people do it (at home, but still!) in 6 days!

 

[byu]

We need more. Let's try and get 6 in a week!

 

[Gparker]

yea, McWizzle needs to try a couple of times everyday!and also there may have been more then 5 people. this is just the number of people on this website!:

 

[Rubixcubematt]

anybody know of a first success quicker then mine? BTW, thanks Chris Hardwick and mike hughey on your tutorials, they were awesome.

 

[McWizzle94]

anybody now of a first success quicker then mine? BTW, thanks Chris Hardwick and mike hughey on your tutorials, they were awesome.

I guess my new goal is to have a success faster then yours =]

and I agree, Chris and Mike have helped a LOT with 4x4x4 BLD. THANK YOU!!!

Im sure that u will have a faster success, and I will be disappointed if you dont, You have earnt it. I'm going to forcast your first success in the next 3 attempts.

 

[byu]

Do you really think you can become a Predictor of BLD like Mike? But even so, Mike is better

An interesting question. I immediately thought of Dan Cohen, but I just searched and his first was over 19. Derrick's first was over 22. I don't think Lucas or Tim Sun had first solves that fast.

I can't help wondering what the really fast guys were like on their first solves: Ville, Rafal, Rowe. But maybe you do have the current record of the fastest first success.

 

[Pedro]

my first was 17:xx, I think (the video is on youtube)

I bet Ville got sub-10 on his first try

(also, has anyone heard of Rafal? he's kinda disappeared...)

 

[byu]

Ville getting only sub-10 on his first try? I bet he was sub-5 on his first try

 

[Micael]

I had my first success with a NHL cube. That is a cube with NHL team logo instead of color. It takes me many try because of center orientation, but I'm comfortable with it now. Time: 9:46 (yea, stackmated!)

The team is Flames of Calgary and the cube looks like the attached picture (though the picture is Canadian of Montreal).

How do you memo center orientation?

Finally, after a 26-DNF streak, a successful 4x4x4 BLD solve =] =] =] =] =] =] =]

YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

EDIT: I just remembered, I started 4x4x4 BLD during spring break of last year. Therefore, it took me over a year to get a successful solve, but I'm glad I finally got one =]

 

[byu]

YES! That makes 6 in 6 days, that's definitely amazing.

 

[Faz]

I understand all the concepts for 4x4 BLD, I have a memorisation and solving system figured out. (Still undecided on how to memo centers.)

Going to attempt a full solve (maybe more) today.!
