[WR] Max Siauw 3.69 Sq-1 WR Single

[UncleFrank]

it would still look like a 4 if it's a 4

if you slow down playback speed to only 25% and watch closely you can see that it stops just after 3.63xx
so it probably was a 3.64...

still and amazing solve and a WR for Max either way

If you look at the end of Max's own vid, you can see the score sheet, the timer itself, and the rear of the display all showing 3.699.

The tournament displays only update 8-10 times a second while the timer is running, you really can't use it as that precise of a measurement. It's totally possible for it to show 3.63 and then the next number it shows is as high as 3.75 or so.

However in this case we can actually use frame by frame analysis (which you can do on youtube by pressing , and . while the video is paused) to prove unequivocally that it's not 3.64 because the timer looked like this just before it stopped.

Either way, I really don't know why you can't just trust the fact that the judge had to write the time and Max had to sign the score card before it got entered as proof enough that it was entered right, especially when we know for a fact that the top segment of the second digit isn't working.
