UWR - Largest Computer Cube Solve Ever!

[soup]

but that's 20 hours of your life wasted!

It's no longer a record, so it's meaningless. I didn't think anyone was going to make a serious attempt, so I was pushing it off. Now that qq did his 111, I'll have to go for either 115 or 120.

Also, grats to qq on this amazing feat.

Very very impressive , congrats

Congratulations Michael, that's very impressive! I find your cleaning then solving approach really creative and fascinating! I also find it neat that you do a cage approach for bigger cubes, and your seconds per piece solved and sustained turns per second rate are very impressive! I dare say you are still the King of computer cubes

Michael, this is insane. I have no idea how you do this, let alone so fast. As Chris said, you are definitely the King of computer cubes

I agree, Ben. Maybe this track is more appropriate. Not only did Michael solve the 111x111x111 amazingly fast, he also programmed a cuboid simulator software that might really be the best virtual cuboid software to solve big cubes the fastest. Unbelievable. I usually don't cry, but listening to this track and thinking of Michael's amazing time for such a large cube just made me look at the human potential in a whole new light and I shed a few tears of excitement.:tu:tu

People have been jealous before. How about now?

 

[qqwref]

yeah wtf

Well, the 820 hour time is realtime, so really you should be comparing it with my ~247 hours. I'm not sure how much solve time Ravi and Peter's solve took, as their website is down

Do you have those replay files? The link is now broken. Thanks.

[Frubix]

will you be reconstructing this solve any time soon?

He can't reconstruct someting that is this big and that took so long?
