Official Brest Appreciation Thread

If he reconstructs this, then he will become the best person on these forums. Officially.

He already is the best person on these forums. Officially.

Reconstructing that would just make him about... 20% cooler.

 

[Jaycee]

Reconstructing that would just make him about... over 9000% cooler.

Fixed that for you

 

[ThomasJE]

Reconstructing that would just make him about... ∞% cooler.

Double fixed.

 

[conn9]

Reconstructing that would just make him about... Nvm he can't get any cooler.

Triple fixed.

When Brest reconstructs this thread there will be statistics on everybody's word per minute.

inb4 who is brest


Some say he can reconstruct a solve before it even happened, and that his favourite breakfast is v-cube 7 cubies. All we know is, he's called Brest

 

[Sillas]

Brest is like Sherlock Holmes, can see things that nobody can see.

 

[conn9]

I wouldn't pressure him into reconstructing a 7x7 solve though. Do you realise how long that would take?

 

[Specs112]

I think Brest is a pretty cool guy, he reconstructs solves and doesn't afraid of anything.

 

[jrb]

I wonder how many solves Brest has reconstructed overall. Only Brest himself would be insane enough to count them all.

 

[Kirjava]

Brest once told me a dirty joke

 

[insane569]

Brest is probably working on the 7x7 solve right now. Nobody distract the pro. Just watch in admiration.

 

[blackzabbathfan]

I never got his name, but he's the tall Australian dude who was usually hanging out around the judges' table.

EDIT: I don't think he competed.

Also he apparently lives in the same town as Andrew Ricci.

I vaguely remember an tall Australian guy high fiving me after I made round 2 of 3x3. To be honest I didn't know much about Brest before this thread, but if that was him, I'm honored to have high fived him.

 

[Andrew Ricci]

Brest is best, of course.

I never got his name, but he's the tall Australian dude who was usually hanging out around the judges' table.

EDIT: I don't think he competed.

Also he apparently lives in the same town as Andrew Ricci.

He's competed at both MIT Fall 2011 and Spring 2012.

I wouldn't pressure him into reconstructing a 7x7 solve though. Do you realise how long that would take?

As long as 5 5x5 solves?

Really. It would be VERY interesting if he reconstructed a 7x7 solve. Unfortunately, alg.garron doesn't support further than 7x7...

 

[Rubiks560]

I Brest! He reconstructs my averages, and adds lots of new algs for me to try.

 

[insane569]

We need to send brest some place nice to thank him. So many 4x4 reconstructions, he needs a vacation or a day off.

 

[Specs112]

Bumping because http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?36011-6x6-3-50.66-With-Brest-Reconstruction

He. Reconstructed. A. [expletive deleted]. 6x6.

Avoiding the obvious joke and leaving it at that.

 

[ThomasJE]

Bump.
Brest just reconstructed a 7x7. alg.garron needs to be updated to support 8x8.
