SURPRISE CHALLENGE!!!

[Thompson]

Hey guys i thought i'd make a surprise challenge 2012 summer addition!
The challenge is to solve a 4x4 rubiks cube while holding ur breath the entire time! Post your times when you finished your solve! I can't wait to see your results. Only 1 attempt each.

I got 49.32 and it was pretty tough for me

Lol, I have been practice this. I average 1:45 so it quite tricky. I'll be doing this later. The longest time I have hold my breath was 2:38.


So Just did it and Had a bad time. But still hold my breath long enough. My time was 1:54.78. Was hope to get 1:30 so I didn't have to hold my breath to long.

dnf. im tired and the solve was too sloooooww

 

[Mike Hughey]

Wow, that was rough - I panicked and misjudged PLL parity, so I had to do PLL parity twice. A good thing there was no OLL parity. The overall solve was pretty bad too.

1:45.25.

 

[Mikel]

I can barely do 3x3 while holding my breath and I average sub-20. No thank you.

1:19:22 and I never felt so lucky there were no parities .. there were no colours in the end, just different shades of stars!

Damn American parity had me gasping for air after finishing. (I'm not exactly amazing at holding my breath)

 

[KCuber]

42.89 double parity

Also a new record for holding my breath.

Have you practiced holding your breath? or what?

Have you practiced holding your breath? or what?

Not really, but I am in pretty good shape (for an old guy) - that helps.

I agree with Selkie about the stars, though - it was getting pretty hard to see at the end there.

It's strange, I can normally hold my breath much longer than that but I was having trouble at the end there - it seems concentrating on solving really uses up oxygen...

 

[ThomasJE]

I hold my breath for around 30-40 seconds. Look at my signature...

I see, but for me it was normal the whole time. But I guess I could of hold it 30 sec longer than my time. My goal is to hold my breath of 3 minutes underwater so I have been practicing to hold my breath long.

 

[Skullush]

How do you people do this
My breath gave out at 36 seconds...

 

[brunovervoort]

What if you can't hold your breath as long as your solve?
DNF? or maybe a +5/+10/+... second penalty per re-breath?
I can't hold it longer than like 40 seconds... -_-

 

[Czery]

I started gagging and I felt as if I was going to throw up.
DNF.

1:20.18 double parity. I've done nearly double that normally, but with the cube it just seems a lot harder, probably due to the energy used. I took 4 deep breaths beforehand for good measure.
