Graham Siggins attempting 300 cube mbld, livestream

[Lucas Garron]

Absolutely fantastic!

Tuned in a few times, andI was thoroughly impressed. Congrats, Graham!

Just saw this now—absolutely insane. I'm curious what the human limit is, or at least the limit for graham, assuming all done in one sitting.

500 maybe

if anyone really wanted 500 solved cubes they would have to attempt to solve more than that. its pretty much humanly impossible to solve every one of the cubes

You know what I'm glad Old-Style MBLD is no longer an event.

An interesting fact: if this had been an old-style multiBLD attempt, he would have been allowed up to 50 hours to solve them.

Were breaks allowed during memo for super long attempts?

Were breaks allowed during memo for super long attempts?

I never was quite sure of that; I sometimes wondered if it was allowed but was never sure. I believe this was the largest official attempt ever made before the rule change:

Amagasaki Open 2009 | World Cube Association

The World Cube Association governs competitions for mechanical puzzles that are operated by twisting groups of pieces, commonly known as 'twisty puzzles'. The most famous of these puzzles is the Rubik's Cube, invented by professor Rubik from Hungary. A selection of these puzzles are chosen as...

Pretty impressive at the time; over 2 hours faster than necessary. But at least the attempts were never quite as long as Graham's new achievement.

I think Ryosuke Mondo was talking about (threatening? ) doing 100, and that was when the decision was made that something had to change for practicality reasons.

That’s what I’m saying bro @sigalig why are you doing this (did you eat at all while you did this? are you mentally okay?) lol good luck

re: why are you doing this
feels good
re: did you eat at all
yeah i ate and drank periodically throughout memo, had a bunch of almonds, a clif bar, a belvita bar, a bunch of water and two coffees lol
re: are you mentally ok
yeah i feel fine aside from the headache haha

I was thinking about this after yesterday -- I think 400 would probably be really pushing the limit of what I can handle in one day. Beyond that and I would probably need to memorize a bunch of stuff, sleep on it, and then review everything a bunch and memorize another chunk of cubes the next day. But for "human limit", I really don't know. Theoretically I could take like a month memorizing 2000 cubes or something, but I would never actually do that lol

You should do this thing (I forgot what it was called) where you memo a cube and solve it years later (I think wb is like 10 years? Idk)

so 276 pointsss

Insane result, congrats @sigalig

Massive effort, having focus for over 11 hours is super impressive feat!

Well if you were just trying for Old-Style Multi then you have 10 minutes per cube, and you used a little over 2. It might be tough to retain memo, but there would be time for more breaks or just slower memo/execution. Would it make a difference in terms of difficulty to go slower than 2 mins per cube?

The slower i go, the longer it takes me to do the same amount of cubes. The longer memo takes, the more fatigue i have, and the more likely i am to make mistakes. And i dont think going slower really helps anyway. I would just do more interations of reviews. And taking an 8 hour sleeping break would add a couple minutes/cube as well

Do you think you could/are you able to effectively retain memo through sleep? How much review do you have to do to be at the point you were pre-sleep?
