December 8, 2007Rowe Hessler broke the Unofficial World Record for solving Rubik's Cube blindfolded, with a new record of 37.54 seconds.

Posted on speedcubing. Rowe, do you have the scramble by any chance? Also, if you posted your solution, that would be awesome. Thanks

Good to see him getting good times again.

 

[masterofthebass]

I e-mailed him, like most of us, and I offered to put up his method on here. This looks extremely awesome, and I can't wait to see the corner method.

 

[Lucas Garron]

Tried creating the scramcle, but the info's incomplete.
(Rowe: Were the cycles really all independent orientation-wise?)

Anyhow, I think he's using freestyle, in a way; it's about the fastest way you can cycle, and that scramble is great for it.

By the way: I got him to sign up on this forum a while ago, but I think he couldn't post...

 

[philkt731]

If its three cycle, its gotta be something like Pedro's. Maybe its two cycle but doing edges and corners at the same time...

 

[watermelon]

His method is basically 3-cycle freestyle with commutators thrown in. It's extremely flexible (setting up corners on faces other than U and D for example), and seems like it would indeed be one of the fastest methods with enough practice.

 

[Hiram]

This scramble looks extremaly easily and would be really nice for any method. Still, this time is incredible...

 

[alexc]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AlexandertheGreat]

that's insane......hopefully he gets something like that in competition!

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

thats incredible, sub-20 memo is amazing enough, but if someone could pull off a sub-20 execution... of a BLD solve?! wow

 

[Derrick Eide17]

yeah basically waht everyone has mentioned i though too. it is just simply an AMAZING record... but of course we all know lmao.... secretly... .someplace... SOMEWHERE... Matyas has gotten a better time and just hasnt posted it yet and prolly never well LMAO. oh yeah GREAT JOB ROWE!

this has also spawed Kai to post his sub-minute record, so major props to him for being the 3rd human to ever do a BLD solve under a minute!

Huh? The 3rd ever? I'm not sure.

Matyas/Dannyang/Marcus -> Chi Chu -> Rafal -> Suraimu -> Kai.
I'm pretty sure that is the order so far. There is also probably people who havn't posted times.

Edit:
Didn't realise Marcus had aswell.

 

[MarcusStuhr]

I had a few sub-minute times around when Danyang and Matyas did -- not sure who did what in what order though.

Hmm. Freestyle 3-cycles that are not commutators? That's possible for edges of course. Please tell me an easy corner 3-cycle that is not a commmutator or a conjugated/shifted commie

R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2 is not really a commutator

It is a move cancelling conjugated commutator!

And whre does Rowe fit in here?

 

[joey]

I think he comes after Chi Chu, and before Rafal. As I said it's not a fully complete list
