Weekly competition 2009-18 - Speedsolving the Rubik's Cube ( Speedcubing ) and Other Puzzles Forum

AvGalen · 04-30-2009 11:20 PM

All current (new) scramblers from the WCA are used.

For all 3x3x3 events (including FMC) Cube Explorer was used to generate a random position and provide an inverse scramble (generator) for that position.
For all cubes > 3x3x3 (mediumcubes) a "w" means "Wide" so you turn not just the slice, but also the outer layer.
For all cubes > 5x5x5 (bigcubes) normally a subscript number indicates the amount of layers to turn like a wide turn. U32 would mean to turn the the U layer and the 2 layers beneath it (3 in total) a half turn. However, this forum doesn't support subscript, so I transform the default notation to "3U2" notation which also means "turn the 3 uppermost layers a half turn".
For Megaminx R and D are "double layer moves of the entire megaminx. The U moves are normal U moves, not "double layer" or cube rotations
For Square1 the new notation is not entirely clear about when to perform a slice/half-turn. I adjusted the scrambles so that no slice-turns are to be performed at the beginning or the end (unless the scramble begins or ends with (0,0))
Clock hasn't changed, but just so you know: UddU u=-1,d=5 would mean Up-Left-pin is Up, Up-Right-pin is Down, Down-Left-pin is Down, Down-Right-pin is Up and that you need to turn a corner that has its pin up rotated counterclockwise by 1 hour and that you need to turn a corner that has its pin down rotated clockwise by 5 hours
Pyraminx small letters are for the tips

Just to make sure everyone understands: We follow the official WCA rules for all events. Here are some things that people often don't know:

For multiple blind you can choose how many cubes you are going to do (let me know if 15 scrambles is not enough). If you choose 5 cubes you have to use the first 5 scrambles.
For one-handed you can use both hands during inspection
For with feet you can only use feet during inspection
For 3x3x3 Fewest Moves there is a 1 hour time limit.
For relay you have 15 seconds of inspection in total, you can use any order to solve the cubes and the rest of the relay-rules should be obvious

For every event you participate in you will be rewarded points. You will also be rewarded points according to your ranking. Because this is quite a complicated system you can read about it in this thread. The results of the competition will be available as soon as possible after the competition closes at the end of the thread.

If you think other events should be added to this competition you can influence that in the 2008: Other events for Weekly competition thread

This competition starts now and ends wednesday/thursday nightchange (officialy), but I will only close a competition after the new one is on-line. If a competition doesn't start at wednesday/thursday nightchange you still get the full 7 days to participate.

I've been on this crazy roll today with 3x3... I don't know what it is. Everything sub-16? I just want to know how

I need a better 4x4, and some more practice as well

Seriously, those cancellations were stupid... 7 moves cancelled in total! I tried to look for a better insertion (I want sub-40 ) but this equals my personal best, so I'm really happy with this.

B L' L B' cancel before insertion; B B2 become B' after insertion.

Comment: The cancellations on this were nice, but I was disappointed because at around 30 minutes I thought I had found a 31-move solution. Unfortunately, I apparently made a mistake backtracking somewhere, so it wasn't real. I went to the inverse scramble at around 20 minutes because I could find absolutely nothing on the regular scramble, despite all the nice-looking pairs. I think BH corners is really helping me with fewest moves insertions - I can look for them so much faster now, and I even know several alternatives for most 8-move cases now. Oh, and one other nice thing about this solve - it's VERY fast to execute because of all the L B moves; it's mostly 2-gen - try it.
