Don't have any good paper.... is there a way to make it "good" (less locky)?

I honestly don't know.

People have already done it. This isn't anything new.

He says in the video that he got the design from someone else, and is just trying to promote it.
Pretty cool. I'd love to see a PLL time attack on that

yep that's true.

Also its not speed solvable.

3x3 relay

Sorry if you can't watch the video it's due to licensed music in the video they only allow the song to be played in select countries.
the 3x3's that I used were
Rubik's brand 3x3
Rubik's brand 3x3 with no orange stickers
Lego 3x3 WIP
Dayan LunHui
Guhong stickerless
Maru glow-in-the-dark 3x3
Rubik's 30th anniversary wood cube
and a cheap cube from Hobby Lobby

Good to see you editing your videos like that (putting a picture of the puzzle in the corner of the screen).

Ya if didn't know by now I have been editing my videos for like the past 1.5 years.

Haven't seen it posted on here anyway. I don't really watch cubing videos on Youtube anymore.

My solves at New Albany 2012

I wish I had done better.

You should learn Ortega for 2x2. That should take you to around 6 seconds. Also, for 3x3, you should work on F2L and 2L-PLL. Your 2L-OLL is pretty quick. Also, make a start with PLL. One algorithm a day doesn't sound much, and it isn't. But, if you reduce a 2-look case to a 1-look case, that can shave 2-3 seconds of a solve; which takes 1 second of an Ao5 and half a second off an Ao12. All that by learning one algorithm.

I'm slowly learning them.

Platypus solve

Also thanks pjk for the new SpeedSolving form's new look I just love it.

 

[ThomasJE]

I saw a puzzle like that in a local shop. Where did youget that one and where did you learn from?

From a friend at my last comp. self learned the solution.

Speed bedroom tidying might be a good idea next.

Not a bad time, I got one of these for Christmas, the solution is 100% intuitive 3 cycling.

Although I've never timed it I'd expect my time to be similar to yours

cool i'm glad your at the same speed as me on this puzzle.

Being honest they aren't all that difficult and as you did in the video... you solve it and take about 3 seconds to realise it's solved

Lol that happened to me the very first time that I solved it
