Unofficial World Records

It's interesting, under what circumstances one performs best at is different for every individual.

I remember at Pleasantville, I was intent on beating Dan at 5x5x5 and performed something like 10s slower than my at-home average. Whereas, I didn't care about 4x4x4 and I placed 2nd (not to mention broke my single-solve PB). >___>;;

Then there was Virginia where I was hitting 2:20 times on the 5x5x5 all day (racing Mitchell and losing), and then I got a 2:01 average.

I definitely perform better under a bit of pressure, and an apathy towards the results.

I definitely perform better with music.. preferably something groovy; has anyone tried headphones in a competition?

no, you're not allowed to wear them while solving

"2i)While competing competitors must not use sound equipment, other electronic equipment (like walkmans, dictaphones or additional lighting)."

So, I'm not sure if this is where I'm supposed to put this post, but it's the best place I could find... I got the UWR for Skewb Diamond single. (lol no one cares about non-event UWRs except me.) It's 7.588, beating the old record by almost 5 seconds. Video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaEbUOR-Lek

That video needs a bit of editing, there's like about 50s of nothing at the start

It was me talking about it I'm guessing you didn't have your volume turned up. There's an annotation to skip to the solve, btw.

Ah ok, my bad.
Yeah I tend to watch most stuff with the volume off lol.

I hear the guy who has Gear Cube avg100 UWR sucks.

You could probably get that with a week or two of practice and a decent gear cube.

UWR for fastest time solving a cube while being named "Daniel White" (since we're getting stupid specific with UWRs)
