Swedish Cube Day 2008

But there is a new world record in 2-4 relay because it was the first ever (we had one attempt). Gunnar won and had 1:28.xx, don't know the rest of the places/times. I lost my NR's in Snake, the only event I did at the Cube day (I was the main judge, Snake is unofficial so there is no need for a main), Tommy Holm (a friend of my brother who started to cube because of being a friend of my brother =) did a lot of practice before and I knew he was going to take my records away. But not without a battle... also I broke the old NR's but as I expected it was not enough :p

Lennart, Aspelin won the 2x2x2 OH, no WR's, maybe NR average, I think it was but I'm not sure.

Hey all! Thanks for all the compliments. It was a great competition, only a bit too much for one day(about 12 hour competition :P). There were all events except fewest moves.

I am happy about getting so many records. 2 WRs and 5NRs (4x4&5x5 single&avg, multiBLD(2/4 :p)) The 4x4 results are my personal records and so is the 5x5 single(thanks to Joey borrowing his cubes, and Tomas). I sucked at 3x3 as usual and my 2x2 results were bad because I had solved it only the day before the competition. But now I have a 2x2 (thanks Joey!! :D) so next time I'll be better.

I was hoping for some better results in the BLD events too but I'm not complaining. Next time then.. :)
 
Thanks Ville (and al others as well!) for coming and make our small competition a whole lot more interesting! It's always nice if someone brakes a world record or two :p

Next year we will make this in to a two day competition sins it's a little straining to compete for 12 hoers :D

Great job Ville, well deserved records, and that 4x4x4 one will be sooo hard to beat o.0

Actually, Ville will probably beat it the next time he gets a successful solve.

But I'm hoping Chris makes it to a competition before then, so he can get the record back for the USA for one more short fleeting moment before it goes to Europe forever. At this point, it's still very much in Chris's range.

Mike: I havn't seen or heard of chris doing faster than 6mins? I mean 6:05 is basically sub6, when you are talking with times like this.

He hasn't updated this page in ages, but you can see there that way back in February he got very very close to 5 minutes. That was before he learned BH! I think the primary reason his typical times are firmly entrenched in the mid-6's is because he hasn't been pushed. Well, until now. Now we'll see what he's really capable of. (Of course, Ville could easily get a sub-5 at his next competition, and then I think it would be a lot tougher for Chris!)

The same is true for 5x5x5 BLD. I love the fact that I actually have an outside shot at 5x5x5 WR times right now, even if it is true that there are 4 or 5 people in the world (including Chris) who can blow the current record away (and I'm not one of them).
 
Mr. Hughey, have more faith in yourself! With all your giant-cubes BLD practise, you'll get so much quicker at 5x5x5 you won't know what's hit you!
 
Oh okay, thanks Mike, I didn't see that.
You say it hadn't been updated in ages, the last 4x4 BLD update was only 2 months ago, on 2/10/08. Oh wait..... crazy american dates :PPPPP

I dunno if I or anyone mentioned that both Ville's DNFs were 5:2x.xx, although his last one was quite a bit off (still WAAYY more solved than my attempt :P), and the first DNF was only parity off :( :(

Yep. I know I saw that on there before October, so I'm sure it's one of our crazy American dates.

No, no one had mentioned it that I've seen, although I saw the 10:xx 5x5x5 DNF mentioned somewhere. As I said, Ville will probably put this out of sight the next time he competes. Which is why I'm hoping Chris gets to a competition soon, while he still has a good chance!
 
Kenneth: your own brother mentioned it :P http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showpost.php?p=109672&postcount=1003

It was great judging ville for the big cubes attempt, I was trying to follow as much as I could, trying to gain insight as to where I was going wrong :P

My attempt was around 14mins or so. Ville said that I memoed for like 10 mins, then exec'd in like 4 :P But, as usual, the cube was sufficiently scrambled after my attempt.
