how long did mike's solve time take?? and does someone know why chris hardwick does not participate in multibld??
It's been posted elsewhere that my 15/15 was 2 hours 12 minutes. I think it was about 1:30 memorization time, so around 40 minutes solving time. I can't believe how slow I was solving on the video - it looked painfully slow. But I guess I was trying to be particularly careful.
Right before I started, Chris told me he had been thinking about actually trying multiBLD for this competition, but finally decided against it. I think he wanted to concentrate on big cubes BLD instead. But I suspect that means he has at least thought about how to handle multiBLD a bit - Chris usually doesn't say something like that without having done at least some preparation.
Chris has been practicing really hard on the BH method for big cubes; I really think we're going to eventually see some amazing times from him if he can cut down on the DNFs. I think he must be DNFing more because of the new method - his accuracy has gone way down in the last 2 competitions. Once he gets used to it, I bet his accuracy will go back up and he'll be pretty unstoppable again.
