Hold your breath while cubing.

[Nuber Cuber]

Well, I'm not very fast 3x3x3, I average around 38 with a 30 pb and 24 lucky pb. Anyhoo, I cannot hold my breath worth a crap, probably no longer than 33 seconds. I decided to solve a cube while holding my breath.

The conclusion is, I got a 26 second solve (great for me), and it was only 1 pll skip (I use 4lll)

If you average around me, try it, it might make you solve faster.

Yeah, I used to do this when I avg'ed over 1 minute (I used to be able to hold my breath over 2 minutes). But I haven't tried it since.

While we're on this subject, Dan Knights and I were joking about having an event to do where you do BLD underwater and you have to hold your breath. And to make it so you can't cheat, you solve while in milk, instead of water.

Heh, better use really dark stickers might be hard to see.

wouldnt moving your fingers to turn cause all your oxygen to go there making you want to breathe more?

I hold my breath accidentally. I get done solving and exhale and I'm like, "whoa, was I not breathing?"

If a spectator walks in during this event, he'll be wondering why there are so many passed out cubers everywhere. This would make a good mystery event though.

To make it better you could plant 2x2's in the fainted persons' hands.

hold your breath doing multi BLD(memo and execution in one breath)

LOL

If you have good memo, execution and trained breathing it would actually be possible. This is 1 category I would like to add to the weekly competition as "most cubes solved in one breath while blindfolded"

I'm already going without sleep to do all the competition events - now you're going to make me pass out!?!

pickup-line 1: I have been known to make people pass out from sheer lack of breath without even touching them
pickup-line 2: Warning, I might take your breath away

 

[blah]

Haha... I like the second one. Dude this should to the off-topic sub-forum
