[Unofficial] Kanneti Sae Han - almost 3x3 Single WR

[Radu]

Wow. Unbelievable!

Regarding the timers....I'm of the same opinion..they quite suck actually, at least from the price/ergonomic point of view, but this is kinda offtopic now.

I've contacted their engineers several years ago. They said they would get back to me, but never did. I'd be surprised if they do any big re-design; the timer seems to be working great for their sport (cup-stacking).

I made a topic about this not long time ago: http://worldcubeassociation.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=915&sid=3fc446f031df4329c5e7cd2adacd4037 .

It was not an official attempt. If it was, there probably would have been a big fuss about it during the comp, which didn't happen.

 

[Rpotts]

then why was there a judge timing inspection/using the black box?

They were just faking. There's no scorecard for Kanneti on the table.

yes there is, on the left the whole time.

if I were you , I will cry.

The judge didn't bring it and doesn't seem to care about it at all.

 

[Rpotts]

??? Maybe it wasn't his first solve? The video ends before he'd go to write down the result. Were you there?

 

[TMOY]

I was at the comp, yes. And if anything like this had actually happened I couldn't possibly have missed it.

 

[Toire-Dakku]

I assumed it was official because of this. lol

Maybe this will spur the talk about a timer redesign again.

ANGRY PETITION, GOGOGO!!!

It might be easier if, instead of hoping people we don't know will significantly change their product, we invest in a bunch of little rubber rings to glue over the reset buttons (so you can't press it by accident). I've seen this on a competition before, but I don't remember whose timer it was.

A quite elegant solution!

TMOY is right, this is NOT an official solve :tu

 

[macky]

sub 7.08 too!

Seriously, man? Still? Is this a long-running joke, or is something actually wrong with you?

 

[Rpotts]

macky update your sig, you are no longer the only one. : (

One question: Why does the judge has a second timer in his hand? Isn't it a backup to avoid situations precisely like this one?

Thanks lele1415 for the reconstruction, indeed an elegant solution. I myself would have just inserted the last pair, but Kanneti used some kind of edge control and forced an OLL skip.

And from the slow motion, it looks like he pressed the reset button himself. I think that would be easier to overcome, rather than have competitions with faulty timers or with low batteries.

Anyway, something is certain: It is possible to solve de cube in 6 sec.

I think it's 5.87, because during resetting the numbers 5, 7 and 8 change to 0. At first 8 changes to 0, then 7, and then 5. But you can see on the video 6.00 and 8.00. These times are the result of resetting.
I'd beat my timer for this...

on topic: I just downloaded the video and I'm going to try to get the exact time with my video editor...

EDIT: I got the time as 6.00 exactly.
