I had no clue about the history of this event. Imo one of the most difficult and frustrating yet immensely satisfying (when you get a success)

[@user-ql5og2nk6u]

Yes correct. This event is super tricky as success does not come at will.

[@TetraCubing]

2:30 lol that confused me for a second, i was like "how was there a cube inside the cube"
great editing btw

[@thecubeisalie413]

i ate the bottom of the first cube
i was hungry ok?

[@sultanbekovchyngyz-speedcuber]

Wow great history, didn't know that first success was in 2004

[@deepakghodgaonkar9577]

First unofficial success was in the year 2002.

[@ericzhu6620]

Stanley is probably gonna keep his dominance for a lot longer despite not practicing and improving his times

[@blindfoldchess7762]

I am not sure about that. Hill pong is making inroads. I am also wanting to get sub-2 in 5BLD for long time now.

Great compilation yo. Knew about all except Ville's

[@abhijeetghodgaonkar]

Ville had WB in 5BLD in 2009 with 7 minute solve. I am also doing a compilation of WBs (unofficial solves).

[@DipietroGuido]

2 and a half hours to 2 and a half minutes

[@blindfoldchess7762]

Yes, good progress.
Congrats on megaBLD success

[@subzero.cuber47]

Shows how far we've come

[@rk31]

My first 5bld att was a DNF by 8 wings, 4 edges, no + centers, 6 x centers, and 2 corners

[@abhijeetghodgaonkar]

Oh sad, I hope you get a success someday yo.

[@ohypix]

lazermonkey judging stanley 8:27

[@abhijeetghodgaonkar]

Yes epix

[@mo2cubing]

Makes me think we'll have a sub-2 soon

[@deepakghodgaonkar9577]

Yes from hill pong definitely

[@abhijeetghodgaonkar]

Hill pong will do it, I cannot think of anyone else ngl

[@mo2cubing]

@@abhijeetghodgaonkar that's fair
Stanley Chapel could squeak out sub-2 any week now though imo

[@therubikscubedude]

it seems strange that the 2017 5bld wr was 3:47.5 and the 2018 3x3 wr was 3.475 both by chinese guys

[@abhijeetghodgaonkar]

The name of the Chinese guy is Kaijun Lin.
What is strange about this fact?

[@therubikscubedude]

@@abhijeetghodgaonkar idk

[@RWOT1M]

+2 world record nice (is it the only one?)

[@blindfoldchess7762]

Yeah I guess. 3:34+ is the only +2 WR

[@ilove2x2]

I think juan got a megaminx wr with a +2

[@Yu_cube]

Hill pong fong yeng

[@jayeshrege5212]

I want someone to do a relay 2×2 to 7×7 bld.

[@ryaneckersley2037]

graham siggins has done a few and so have i think roman strakhov and stanley chapel but i could be wrong

[@blindfoldchess7762]

Scalpel has only done 2-5 BLD relay and not 2-7.
Nevins chan has tried 2-7 relay a decade back.

[@cuberstache]

Lots of people have done it

[@theunpopularcuber9554]

Enoch Gray has done it, as well as a mini guildford blind and kilo-gigaminx blind

[@jorian_meeuse]
