Really good full step solve for me.
This was my first 3x3x3 solve in this competition
and I didn't expect much because my hands felt too sticky and cube too loose.

Really good full step solve for me.
Former NR was 11.94 by Anssi Vanhala, and before that it was 11.96 by Johannes Laire.
Luckily Anssi or Johannes didn't break it back in the finals.
I know Ville Seppänen will break this with better average in his next competition
But I'm happy to get the NR for a while.

Oh, I didn't even noticed that before you said it. Usually these kind of things sticks to my eyes. Maybe I didn't want to see it..

No, Ville wasn't there. I guess he slept over the competition :confused:

Here's also my Megaminx single NR 1:57.65

Johannes Laire almost took this away from me right after I did it (and he used my minx! o_Ô). His best was 1:59.28 and I nervously watched the whole solve.

edit: how do I add the Megaminx NR to threads title?

You have to ask a moderator to do it for you.

Ok, thanks.

If any moderator happens to read this, the new title could be:
'Official single NRs 3x3x3 11.71 and Megaminx 1:57.65 Konsta Jukka'

Most cubers say they can't sleep the night before a competition. lol.

But anyway, I guess Ville's so good he doesn't even have to show up to win.

I slept about total 10-12 hours from thursday morning to sunday morning. Every night I woke up constantly and couldn't get to sleep again.
It was terrible but maybe you don't get that nervous when you are really tired. Although I was also nervous.. :/
anyway, 2 days competitions without good nightsleeps it takes a life out of you.

And yeah, I also believe Ville is just that good.
