Solving of a 3x3 in the mirror.

Here is my challenge to all of you:

I hate OLL.:fp Post a video response, I want to see how well you do. Good luck!

My time: 3:10.00.

And yes, I did get this from Memyselfandpi.

I've done this before, didn't time it though.

 

[Inf3rn0]

I too have done it before and didnt time myself. I did manage to however get extremely pissed off when i kept turning wrong. None the less it is good fun for a change when a mirrors handy.

lol first try took me 2:30... i almost completely scrambled my cube on the oll. also, i got to the end and realized two of my cross pieces were in the wrong place :fp

much more difficult than i imagined lol
my normal times are 16-24, for reference lol

Turn your body a bit less than 180 degrees and look over your shoulder at the mirror. That way the mirror shows the front of the cube (also, this stops accidental cheating) Then you just mirror R to L'. First try 1:34.28 This could improve a lot if I practised or ad better light. OLL and PLL is super easy. What are you talking about? Lol.

 

[Zane_C]

True, you don't even have to look at it with the execution of oll and pll.

 

[incessantcheese]

noooo the point isn't to be fast, the point is to look at a complete reflection of it and see how fail it is to try to solve. obviously, if you look at it over your shoulder it's easier...

oll was very difficult to recognize upside down and mirrored. got confused about halfway through... and... lol

1:36, quite fun. Recogd the wrong N-perm at first so had to do H too.

It's still solving it using the mirror. It's still hard this way, just a little easier. I can do it just about as fast using the other way, but this is less frustrating. Why would I want to be failing?

I got 1:02.80 doing that.

I tried it once without timing and I gotta feeling it might be around 3 minutes, because of cross and F2L, but LL was really easy though.

This forum is strictly for the weekly competiton, I don't know where this would fit really... so I move it to the general discussions.

Edit: was in weekly

 

[kinch2002]

I think I did about 40 seconds when I last tried. I just tapped pieces and then thought about them in my mind to execute the algs blindly.

 

[GermanCube]

It feels a little bit like when I first had a cube in my hands - really, really weird!

It's a lot of fun though.

 

[DT546]

wasn't this part of a MMAP challenge a while ago?

 

[miniGOINGS]

I'm going to try this when I get home.

I did this once and got 3:33.33.

 

[nlCuber22]

1:02.xx, then 40.50. I stood facing away from the mirror and looked over my shoulder at the mirror to make sure I didn't look at the cube directly. I just did a lot of rotations, it wasn't that hard. Sub20 is definitely possible.
