Easier said than done. For anyone that hasn't tried a blue pro, a 60 second solve is a lot, lot harder than you think.

If they're really serious about this challenge they should make more pros available. These aren't your run of the mill, watered down standard blue obsessions. They have similar tolerances as the extremes do.

Gotta watch those corners! They'll get you every time.

Even if no one earns a purple this way, the pro is still the best obsession version of the blue, and worth having, IMO.

We are down to 100 pros which will be available in the next few weeks / months. But once they're gone no more will be produced.

Phew. I got my blue pro this afternoon and I like the swiping sound it makes as you move. Very cool. As for 60seconds. I can definitely say I'd make in go through the window in 3 seconds but as for 60 seconds to finish... LOL... not in my dreams LOL but I like a challenge!

Wow! That is amazing! I wouldnt want to guess how much it would sell for though :D

That is simply wrong. Several have exchanged hands. Even I contemplate selling my HM#1 from time to time, but admit I have an interest in actually solving it first. As it is, I have picked it up maybe twice, spent about three minutes on it, and put it right back down because my daughter was clamoring for my attention. Maybe some day I'll get the time to solve it.
Great, if after you solve the HM and do want to sell it, please let me know...thanks

ah ... hmmm ...

I really only got the BL and HM cause I wanted the "puzzle" experience. I would say I'm neither a serious collector or hardcore puzzler ... so having said that I know one day I'll part with mine....or maybe trade for the PUTI combo :)
When you wish to part with your BL or HM, I will be more than happy to take over...
