Done after 48 hours of not sleeping (serious, not even a nap). I literally dozed of a couple of times during 7x7x7


2x2x2: 7:09 7.50 6.00 7.46 8.77
3x3x3: 29.25 20.30 24.05 19.65 19.86
5x5x5: 2:05.13 2:00.36 2:13.97 2:20.78 1:56.63
7x7x7: 8:52.22 8:17.61 8:37.08 8:52.93 8:49.02
2x2x2 Blindfolded: DNF DNF DNF
3x3x3 One Handed: 40.33 33.80 34.55 43.21 1:02.94
3x3x3 Match the scramble: 1:01.38 1:10.19 1:01.21 1:22.52 1:12.18

and just for reference, here are the rest of the results. The quoted results were after 48 hours of not sleeping, the added results were after 60 hours of not sleeping. Strangely enough my 333blind after 60 hours had 2 successes while 222blind after 48 hours had all DNF's. I guess that the best way to prepare for blind is by not sleeping for 2 and a half day . The only results that were REALLY influenced by the lack of sleep were 7x7x7 (dozing of during solves), megaminx (couldn't find pieces), pyraminx (recognition was horribly slow) and 222blind (quick memo and slow execution is my normal way, but after the orientation phase I had no memory for the permutation phase anymore)

No good results, but not particularly bad either. The main thing I learned from this: Cubing doesn't require brainpower, not even while doing 333blind

Nice sleep-deprived results, Arnaud!

I wonder what nice stories are behind those 60 hours without sleep. It's been a very, very long time since you updated the blog.
