Gigacage!

[Kirjava]

I've joked about this a few times in the past. I decided to actually do it.

7:08pm - The journey begins

7:38pm - Made a layer - we're doing this Per style

7:56pm - Bad picture - although you can't even tell, I've done the F2L part of the cage. Starting to regret this

8:36pm - Cage is nearly done - onto the last layer! Time to bust out some comms

8:37pm - Ate a muffin :3

8:47pm - Let's see how long solving the wings takes me >_>

8:56pm - Got kinda stuck at this point

9:01pm - Cage is done! x3 (Now we get to the fun part)

9:21pm - One down, 10 to go

9:48pm - All x centres done! Home stretch!

9:57pm - Coffee!

10:07pm - Half the centres are done! 3 hour mark :/

10:18pm - LwRw'f'RwLw'ULwRw'fRwLw'U' oshi-

10:20pm - Solved! Took 3 hours 12 mins. (I wasn't constantly turning though)

The worst part about it was just how badly the puzzle turns. Aside from this I was rather enjoying being inventive with centre comms~

Anyone wanna buy a Gigaminx? ^_^

GUISE
HE HAS SOME KINDA NOTEPAD IN THE LAST PIC, SO HE PROBABLY CHEATED.

But in all seriousness, that's awesome. That's probably how long it would take me if I were to do it the "right" way.

LOL the muffin made me laugh hard

The commutator expert does it again!

 

[cuber952]

you are the only one that would try this.
Good solve though.

Ah I remember my first experience with a gigaminx. Took me about an hour using redux.

 

[kinch2002]

Gigabld plz

 

[uberCuber]

wow you are crazy :3

nice job

 

[Shortey]

Awesome!

EDIT: I like that people know who Per is.

LOL, even I wouldn't solve it that way
The problem with cage on the gigaminx is similar to the problem with corners first on the megaminx: after building the cage, you cannot use slices in an efficient way to speed up things and you are stuck with slow commutators. That's why I use blockbuilding to solve the most part of the gigaminx and I solve only the last 2 centers at the end. (At least that's how I would solve it if I had a decent gigaminx instead of a piece of crap.)

Gigabld plz

I wanna see HugHey do GigaBlind.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Gigabld plz

I wanna see HugHey do GigaBlind.

The one to do it is Pitzu. He has a great system for memorizing minxes. He could probably do it in about as long as it took Kirjava to do gigacage. I would take 2 or 3 times as long.

On topic, nice job, Thom!

 

[cmhardw]

Thom, that's awesome!

[Thomas09]

Now I want a gigaminx.

 

[Yes We Can!]

Thomas09: Contact Kirjava! He said he wants to sell him

Btw: Awesome job! I'd never ever have the patience for that

[hawkmp4]

This is impressive. I solved one once with redux and afterwards my hands hurt like hell. I can't imagine doing it this way.

 

[uberCuber]

Now I want a gigaminx.

ditto

"World's best lover." Hehe. Go Kirjava/Aki!

Cool, I have tried this before, I did it all apart from the edge centres.
