[Unofficial] Lofty's 17.54 OH solve.

[Lofty]

as you can see from the video there was a 2x2x1 block already there for me and an easy second pair already made. The rest of the solve was normal put the scramble really was too easy.

So is this better than your 2H PB? That would be the greatest thing ever. Great solve though.

 

[Pedro]

Nice one!

I think you stopped the time a bit before finishing the cube...lol

what's your name, btw?

 

[Lofty]

My name? Brian Loftus, I have never been to a competition.
My pb 2H is 15.18 2H average is still 5 or so seconds faster.
I really want a stackmat timer so I am forced to use both hands to stop the timer.

 

[Pedro]

well, you could use your cubing hand to stop it

wow, just 5 seconds faster with 2 hands? O.o

I'm like 10 seconds slower with one hand like 14-15 and 24-25

 

[Lofty]

Good idea!! I just get excited especially on fast solves like this one.
I am around 21 and 26

So this solve was lucky, and a DNF for both inspecting with two hands and stopping the timer while touching the cube.

But still really fast! Congratulations.

The second is just +2 according to the regulations.

I wish I had something like that in a competition, you are one lucky guy Brian.

Well if you have the cube still in your hand you can easily still manipulate the cube so it's a DNF, even if you don't have to manipulate it.
You should not hold on to/grab your cube untill the judge said you may so.

Just ask mr.WCA(Ron) himself. I am pretty sure he will say the same thing.

It shouldn't be. If you don't manipulate it, then you don't manipulate it.

A6d) The competitor must fully release the puzzle before stopping the timer. Penalty: 2 seconds.

 

[Lofty]

I have had 4 total sub 20 OH solves only one was 100% not lucky, one was this one and 2 PLLs that only required a U face adjustment.
I'll remember in future videos to have the timer out of the frame so no one will see my cheating.
or just do what Pedro said.
