| 1 | 1 hour 48 minutes 12.17 seconds | Joe Allen | See www.puzzlingaddiction.com This was my third attempt at this order cube, and it took 6510 moves. I beat my goal of under 2hrs, so I don't think I need to do this again any time soon. I wonder what the limit is for something like this? | 20060409 |
| 2 | 2 hours 1 minute 57.11 seconds | Michael Gottlieb | It was my first successful completion of a 20x20x20, but my second attempt. I did it in one sitting, with a centers-last method. I think it can be done much faster (around 1:30 or so) but I have to reprogram my simulator, because it lags too much. You can find a video at youtube if you want to see it. | 20070613 |
| 3 | 2 hours 31 minutes 40.57 seconds | Breandan McElhill | my second time solving this cube. centers last 7959 moves. beat my previous time(using reduction) by four hours!! haha. i probably wont do this again | 20080422 |
| 4 | 2 hours 46 minutes 48.82 seconds | Richard Carr | See www.puzzlingaddiction.com I think sub 2'30" is possible (as I wasted a lot of time on the centres this time - took more moves than my last go where I wasted around 700 at the end - and because orange and yellow are very similar on the machine here in the IOM). | |
| 5 | 2 hours 51 minutes 7.49 seconds | Piotr Frankowski | n/a | 20070620 |
| 6 | 3 hours 20 minutes 50.98 seconds | Nicholas Ho | 2nd attempt. ) 8735 moves This is really. boring I say. Method used: cage with last 6 centres solved by purely commutators. . | 20081128 |
| 7 | 3 hours 24 minutes 5 seconds | Samuel Abraham | check out the final solve on you tube second solve cut about 3 hours from first. I don't know how you do it michael:) http://youtube.com/watch?v=Tcq1lLOLzMA | 20080206 |
| 8 | 3 hours 27 minutes 41.16 seconds | Chris Gilsdorf | Took 9378 turns. The first pair of centers went extremely slow (about 1:30) but everything else went ok. I may try this sometime on the non-networked applet to see if I can go faster. (PS Webber) | |
| 9 | 3 hours 51 minutes 53.32 seconds | Piotr Kózka | My second 20x20x20 solve. 6269 moves | 20070603 |
| 10 | 4 hours 10 minutes 52 seconds | Ben Liu | Second solve, 7947 moves. Done all in one day, but with a long break after three hours. | 20070604 |
| 11 | 4 hours 17 minutes 39.84 seconds | Fumiki Koseki | 2nd challenge. Though I did not reach it for 4 hours of an aim, I am satisfied. 1st challenge time is 6 hours 25 minutes 45.76 seconds. | 20061126 |
| 12 | 4 hours 17 minutes 54.04 seconds | Aaron Kison | Wooo, first solve! And let me say to anyone wanting to try it Dam it hurts your index finger!! well, i didnt take a break is prolly why. LOL Good luck tho! | 20070728 |
| 13 | 4 hours 23 minutes 11.60 seconds | Kĺre Krig | 10014 turns | 20070414 |
| 14 | 4 hours 24 minutes 54 seconds | Chris Hardwick | I felt inspired to break this record as well as my 11x11x11 record today. I improved my 20x20x20 time by 1 hour 36 minutes and 42 seconds. This is only the second time I've ever solved a 20x20x20 cube. Also, to support my claim of solving a 20x20x20 cube I took a bunch of screen captures during my solving and created a page for it. Check it out and watch me solve a 20x20x20 cube. I will definately try to break this record again but some other day, my brain will probably be fried for a while :) One last thing, I did not do this in one sitting. I did it mostly in 20-30 minute pieces, with breaks in between to rest my brain. I did not look at or examine the cube at all during any of my breaks. | |
| 15 | 4 hours 29 minutes 17.96 seconds | Yander Lu | omg. . 4'29'17.96 6875moves i want to try again | 20080808 |
| 16 | 4 hours 35 minutes 37.90 seconds | Mark Lucas | Gabbasoft, 9163 moves. Two computer crashes made me lose 5 hours of progress. First and maybe last 20x20x20 solve. Fun, but incredibly mind numbing and time consuming. I'll probably stick to smaller cubes from here on out. | 20070902 |
| 17 | 4 hours 49 minutes 2.93 seconds | Lasse Korbanka | 9115 moves. I had a parity :( Video here. Jan ist ein Lutz. | 20090201 |
| 18 | 4 hours 54 minutes 53.82 seconds | Konsta Jukka | 5420 moves with Gabbasoft. First and last solve I'll ever do. Both parities, arh! Centers were about 4 hours and 17 minutes. Edges were heaven compared to centers. Well, now it's done. | 20090507 |
| 19 | 4 hours 56 minutes 3.55 seconds | Johannes Laire | 5505 moves using Gabbasoft. My second attempt. | 20070117 |
| 20 | 5 hours 2 minutes 57.56 seconds | Brantley Mills | Wow. My first attempt. Used a centers last method. 7187 moves. | 20070616 |
| 21 | 5 hours 4 minutes 7 seconds | Bradley Vorjohan | My first attempt. Interestingly, this was faster than my 19x19x19 solve. | 20090308 |
| 22 | 5 hours 14 minutes 14.58 seconds | Adam Dargan | Five hours fifteen min. and 26 second. first completion of 20x20. 8607 Moves. | 20080105 |
| 23 | 5 hours 19 minutes 16.70 seconds | Emile Compion | GabbaSoft 20x20x20 - 7560 moves. I only did this to say I had done it. This was my first attempt and will probably be only attempt. Watch the greatly abridged solve in this video. | 20070316 |
| 24 | 5 hours 24 minutes | Chris Davies | I don't think I'll bother with this again, it was much too tedious. About 5 hours of this time was spent on the centres, if not more. Well over 10000 moves, but Gabbasoft won't count higher than 9999. Glad I solved it though. | 20070728 |
| 25 | 5 hours 28 minutes 2 seconds | Jamie Carter | 6,642 moves. My second attempt after my wife's computer crashed just 45 minutes into it. Very pleased with my time, I was expecting to take much longer. | 20081014 |
| 26 | 5 hours 28 minutes 40.34 seconds | Ravi Fernando | I took 21 screenshots throughout the solve, every 15 or 30 minutes. I'm glad I'm done. :) See www.puzzlingaddiction.com and my site site. | 20050505 |
| 27 | 5 hours 42 minutes 7 seconds | Daniel Sheppard | n/a | 20081231 |
| 28 | 5 hours 50 minutes 28.54 seconds | Karthik Puthraya | My first attempt at this.Here is the video. Total moves:7824 My Website | 20080516 |
| 29 | 6 hours 14 minutes 8.66 seconds | Jack Moseley | This was my first time solving anything bigger than a 10x10 (as soon as I got Gabbasoft I went straight for the 20x20). Could have been about 3 minutes faster but I did PLL parity twice. I seemed to use a lot less moves than other people (4808). The last two centers were horrible, there is probably a more efficient way than repeating variations of the same 7 move commutator 200 times in a row! | 20080426 |
| 30 | 6 hours 27 minutes 8.68 seconds | Bryan O'Connor | Im really proud of my self considering im 12 years old! I started off with a regular 3x3 rubiks cube, and that shows how much practice can go a long way. It was 8255 moves on Gabbasoft. Im probably only gonna do it again if someone my age beats my record, anyway, over a course of 3 days, i am VERY happy =) | 20071115 |
| 31 | 6 hours 56 minutes 3.65 seconds | Jeffrey Zhang | (GabbaSoft) YES! I have finally finished it (over a span of about 2 days)! This solve took 8037 moves, and it is my first (and probably last) solve. I only did this so I can say I have solved it. =) I am only 13 years old. | 20071001 |
| 32 | 7 hours 3 minutes 23.54 seconds | Greg Austin | phew! that was long but worth the sense of achivment afterwards, what next? 40^3, 100^3, 20x20x20 BF? nah j/k thats a once in a life time thing for me that takes up too much off my time. im so happy though :) thanks to thom for motivation hehe. | 20070408 |
| 33 | 7 hours 30 minutes 35 seconds | Christina Bodensiek | Not the fastest, but hey, I did it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baLq4czSBnA | 20080517 |
| 34 | 7 hours 31 minutes 6 seconds | Michael Eschbacher | 9,046 moves. This was over the span of a week, while I was supposed to be studying for finals. My first attempt was erased when I accidentally rebooted during a solve. I'm sure that I can do better, but my fingers are sore from all of the clicking. I didn't use the best approach. Like with all of my initial solves I try to use elimination principles. | 20071203 |
| 35 | 7 hours 35 minutes 0.49 seconds | Hugo Hismans | My video ==>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQTPH38z-eE&feature=channel_page it's a first solve | 20090214 |
| 36 | 7 hours 38 minutes 40.43 seconds | Steven Beringer | GabbaSoft, 6636 moves, First solve. I could definitely do better, considering i started on a touchpad and i started 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 this morning. I was so happy I didn't get the edge flip parity, I'm not sure i could do it. | 20080116 |
| 37 | 7 hours 42 minutes | Benjamin Jose Enriquez | 2nd attempt. first was 12hrs 56mins ++. I did this with ABSOLUTELY NO STUDY. no tutorials, tips, hints, learned algs from other sources other than my intuition and knowledge of 3x3 4x4 and 5x5 (of course). next time i'll try to get around 5hrs or if possible sub5hrs. | 20070830 |
| 38 | 7 hours 46 minutes 55.02 seconds | Alexei Gousev | Sweet, I'm finally done. The only reason I did the 20x20x20 was because I knew that until I did, there would be a always little voice in my head saying "Solve the 20x20.". I used an extremely inefficient method that didn't require much thinking at all, just a lot of clicking. As a result, my move count was well over the GabbaSoft cube maximum. I reached 9,999 moves while pairing up the last 4 sets of edges. Because the undo button doesn't work in GabbaSoft when the move maximum is reached, I messed up twice after that, both times on the parity alg, but never too badly. It is very unlikely to do this again, as I wasn't aiming for a fast time, but just wanted to get it done. Btw, I am only 14 years old. | 20061204 |

| 40 | 7 hours 58.33 seconds | Wai-Lok Lo | Some silly mistakes when I fixed the last layer. Luckily, it is just below 8 hrs. | 20080727 |
| 41 | 8 hours 37 minutes 19 seconds | Sebestyén Bak | YESSS :P my brain melt at the end of the cube. i had soooo many problems because of it :D:D:D | 20071016 |
| 42 | 8 hours 44 minutes 58.53 seconds | Ibrahim Vajgel-Shedid | I solved it! I wasn't speedsolving though. The edges were alot more boring than I thought. Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNDr2q-aahk | 20070830 |
| 43 | 9 hours 21 minutes 20 seconds | David Cohoe | I was only eleven when I did this! | 20090308 |
| 44 | 9 hours 52 minutes 1.78 seconds | Nicolas Owen | I used Gabbasoft. It took me much more than 9,999 moves. First solve and I plan to improve another time. I never thought that I would ever be able to do this. I wonder what program goes up to 40 x 40 x 40 computer cube. | 20070817 |
| 45 | 11 hours 36 minutes 53.24 seconds | Aleksi Sillanpää | Im gonna solve this under 5hours before christmas :D I used Gabbasoft | 20071209 |
| 46 | 12 hours 29 minutes 14.87 seconds | Brian Le | First time solving. I don't think I'm going to attempt this again. | 20070622 |
| 47 | 12 hours 37 minutes 23.85 seconds | Zebadiah W. Ziegenbein | Finally i solved the 20x20x20!!! After about a month of working on and off i finally solved it. It took me only 8881 moves and i noticed that i beat that one other guy who posted his moves too, and i beat him by about 500 moves. Even though he beat me by like 8 hours. This was just amazing thing i don't know when i will try this again but i can say it won't be soon. I use a wireless keyboard and the mouse is kind of hard to move because it is built in. If i was on a normal keyboard i could of had a much faster time. My goal was to beat 20 hours and i beat it by a lot. I still use the Gabbasoft program. I thank the creator of it and it works very well. And i am only 18 years old i bet i am one of the youngest solvers of this cube. All in all i am very happy with my performance. | 20060410 |
| 48 | 13 hours 38 minutes | Michael Loo | Talk about a boring spring break. my head hurts. | 20060331 |
| 49 | 16 hours 37 minutes 45.02 seconds | Angel Garlant | This took me 9907 moves. Only my first attempt, could have been a lot better but I am no good using a mouse to move the cube. :) It was still pretty fun. | 20080106 |
| 50 | 20 hours | Greg Hellings | Chris Moyer-Grice, of the 40x40x40 first taught me the 3x3x3 cube about 5 months ago. Ever since then I've been addicted to cubing. This was my first giant cube in 3 months, so it was a bit difficult to recall all of the subtle nuances, and I must have spent about 5 of those hours getting the last few edges together where I had a parity error. This time was spread out over the interval of about a week's time. Thanks Chris! |
