Feliks' Legendary 5.66 World Record Solve!

This solve by Feliks Zemdegs was ahead of its time. Feliks himself wouldn't beat it until 2015! It demonstrates that great solves are possible even on the old Dayan Zhanchi. Making this video has reminded me how much cube hardware has progressed.

"He then paused for a second." Hmm... I am not sure if that's a second haha. Thanks for the video!

[@antonytello27]

Anybody watching when WR avg is even faster this single?

[@TDRPCubing]

Yup

[@blaecccuebbler7711]

The answer would be everyone who reads your comment dumbass...

[@zazu.jm1]

Everyone is dumbass

[@kumaraswamykesavaraj9565]

Yeah

[@jessebalsam6475]

No I’m in 2012

[@gradesscubing__]

Very nice video! This solve should definitely be one of the best solves historically.

[@jermaine_cubes241]

Lol he actually got 5.66 just like Feliks (:

[@hunterbruyere5052]

MJ ProCuber that was on purpose lol

[@nathanpatty6020]

+Can i get to 100 subs with no videos? dude it could probally be random because solves can be random on times (i tried to get sub 3 but i actually gut 3.70 on a specific solve)

[@TravisBaginashvili]

Goes to show how difficult it is to get 5.66 even if you know exactly how the solve goes

your solves are nice, and your breakdowns of solves of many solves are pretty nice

[@xM4xDx]

nice

[@burntout4]

I wish Feliks got back the 3x3 wr #GetItBackFast

[@thegoldencake1763]

Himawari 216 but he DID A 4.73 WR SOLVE AND ITS STILL THE WR.

its funny how you got 5.66

[@SupernovaC]

Brian it was on purpose
He does that for every reconstruction

[@observable3194]

On purpose

[@sreeramoffcl]

I am going to breakdown the world record. Breaks down the cube instead.

[@J.J.J.J.J.J.J]

This reconstruction is now as legendary as the solve that is was reconstructed.

[@CarlsonChoo]

Make more breakdown video, i really like it and it help me with my color neutral solve

[@chanthakeo9136]

Carlson Choo - Malaysian Origami Lol my friend just started cubing for 2 weeks and he is already color neutral

[@mrrubikguy4424]

i have a suggestion, maybe next time put the original solve video at the start?

[@jasxnhuynh]

^This

[@kymlikespotatoes]

Thats stealing videos.

[@noajbenton]

Cool idea!

[@ParisDorn159]

Kym is right. Fuck anyone who thinks otherwise.

[@mrrubikguy4424]

KymCubes well, it isn't that hard to ask feliks permission first

[@OK-lg7ry]

Do mats valk 5.55 pleaseee

[@Kjellcubing]

Was just a lucky solve.

[@OK-lg7ry]

Kjell I still want to see how he did it

[@Kjellcubing]

Okay cool :)

[@graham_lively1732]

Yeah I want this too

[@adamfurlong4979]

Lol most 3x3 wr singles in recent years are lucky, but you can still learn from them and enjoy them

[@LRessel]

Nice

[@CubeDudes2009]

Bruh, now the WR average is faster than the former WR single...

[@lazybobby2404]

U were so energetic

What's the color scheme on that cube?

It's bizarre how much we have evolved already...

how do you time it so well 5.66
same as yusheng du

[@fusion67]

Breakdown Feliks's 5.33 DNF

omg if u put it at half speed he sounds rly drunk 😂

[@sass6680]

This made me want to get a white cube again, but companies like MoYu stopped making them :( I think Gan makes some but I already have an SM.

Do a breakdown of Drew’s or bills 4.76

[@prakhartiwari2001]

I think feliks and me both love this u perm alg

[@gigabowser2031]

Prakhar Tiwari no it's just a common alg

[@anthony.esper21]

Was hard to do MU U-Perms on zhanchi cubes so.

[@martinmiralles1721]

The sound that annoyed my mom for months

[@Nolmy300]

Is this the MU U-Perm from the back also a good alg?

[@jasonlee575]

Nolmy300 yeah but it was harder to do on a zhanchi

[@LaZer0MonKey]

+Nolmy300 yes, but it helps to know both. I think the MU U-perm works better on faster modern cubes

[@khm3292]

Does anybody appreciate that he took the time to get the exact same time as Felix

[@looperover]

maybe not, he could’ve got a faster time if he didn’t use a zhanchi 😂

[@lumina_]

0:41 lmao the orange center cap coming off

[@Fomekk]

what is this cube?

[@charizardfouzi8804]

Now it's 3.47 by yusheng du

[@AdamAL123]

Feliks' 3.81 solve? Its an amazing high tps solve

[@seeneverything5150]

Amazingly lucky*

Cubing 101 indeed, but you can't learn anything from a lucky solve

how many resolves must have he done for getting a 5.66

[@oofcake]

I just got this cube in 2023

can i buy in cubicle.us using debit card

Phillips voice is so much higher pitched

[@sunilnaugain1949]

I did a solve on this solve before his solution and turns out I did the same solution for the x cross and the two pairs and same oll but mirrored.

Sorry not the same oll

It's not new at all lol

[@adityarajsrivastava6580]

I turned on captions and it spelled Felix instead of feliks.

[@Dylan-nc7ms]

why did Feliks use a white zhanchi?

[@worldserpent9263]

People at the time thought stickerless cubes were better, so they would take 6 zhanchis and take the white sides and sticker them. That made the cube perform like a stickerless

[@Littleton3513]

In case you guys want the recons of every other world record, please go to Cubesolv.es!
Phillip, if you like breaking down solves, please at least contribute some recons to the reconstruction thread on speedsolving. This is a bit silly to upload a video like this after the reconstruction has already been out for many years.

First Sub 6? I would rather say sub Impossible(at that time)
