[UWR] Max Park - 4:55.59 2x2-7x7 Relay

[alisterprofitt]

First sub 5 ever...

 

[Gomorrite]

He also got a 5:00.06

 

[FJT97]

Oh these guys are pure madness
Is Feliks out of the game?

 

[Competition Cuber]

I knew sub-5 was coming...

 

[Sajwo]

I have a feeling that this can be pushed down to ~sub4

Theoretically it should be possible if you get something like:
2x2: 2
3x3: 6
4x4: 20
5x5: 35
6x6: 1:10
7x7: 1:45

2x2: 2
3x3: 6
4x4: 20
5x5: 35
6x6: 1:10
7x7: 1:45

I feel like a 1:05 6x6 and 1:50 7x7 is a more reasonable split. There might also be room for a couple of seconds for lucky 4x4 and 5x5 solves, maybe as fast as 18 and 32.

I'll predict that the WR 2-7 will never go below 3:48, but will eventually get below 3:55.

Edit: it's probably fair to say that right now Feliks, Kevin, and Max are the only people capable of getting a sub-5 2-7 without something crazy like a 7x7 edge pairing skip, right? While I'm having fun with crazy predictions I'm going to say that within the next 10 years there are going to be 7 people, including 1 or 2 of those 3, who are capable of sub-4:30.

I think that within 10 years there will be ~100 people capable of that

The 5x5 and 7x7 times will be really really really hard to achieve for even the fastest speed cubers!!!

Not really. Max already has a 37 5x5 solve and a 1:55 7x7 solve if I remember correctly. I can easily imagine people averaging these times on the big cubes if we wait a few years.

 

[Cubed Cuber]

I bet that in a couple of years, that the 6x6 UWR will be sub 1 min

 

[Hazel]

I bet that in a couple of years, that the 6x6 UWR will be sub 1 min

I wouldn't be surprised
