[Unofficial] My First 19x19 Cube Solve

[riffz]

My first time solving a 19x19 cube on the Gabbasoft Cube Simulator. The solve took a long time, but seeing as I've never solved a 7x7 cube, simply solving it was an accomplishment for me. I basically had to work out a strategy for solving the centers while I solved it, and the edge pairing was simple but took a long time.

This video only shows the final PLL and the explosion afterwards, which proves I solved it because the cube only explodes if you solve it after a legitimate scramble.

Sorry about the terrible video and sound lag, I should have used a better program to capture it.

Great Job! Now you gotta do the 20x20x20, its a riot!

8 hours. Nice! =)
Did you do it at once?

 

[riffz]

Yes, I'll have to do the 20x20 next. I'm hoping to get less than 8 hours despite the slightly bigger cube.

And no, I didn't solve it all at once. It was actually quite spaced out over a couple days. I could never find the time or patience to do it in one sitting.

Nice job.
Any special reason for doing 19x19 first and not going directly for 20x20?

I remember when i first found Gabbasoft i wanted to solve them in order but i only got to 11x11 and then jumped directly to 20x20.

I chose 19x19 because it was an even order cube and I wanted to try one of those before I did the 20x20
