[WR] Square-1 3.41 single by Ryan Pilat

“I always knew this was possible, but never expected it to actually happen…” again…

This one was even more absurd than my last world record 9 months ago. 2 slices to U perm - 10 slice solution. Probably one of the most ridiculous scrambles to have ever been generated (thanks Dan).

This scramble had the potential to destroy this event, potential to stand for at least a decade, perhaps longer…

But no, I choked, and that’s okay. I tried to 1look it but I wasn’t mentally focused enough to do so. I knew the bottom layer would be solved after OBL but that’s about it. My execution wasn’t good, but I’m so relieved to have at least broken WR given the immense pressure of such an easy scramble.

Eventually someone will break the sub-3 barrier and beyond, given the right circumstances. This just leaves the door open for more people to have a shot at WR.

And of all people to be the first to have multiple sub-4s, I don’t think anyone expected it to be me…
