Last chance to keep the unofficial events!

For now, all events are the same as last year, but all unofficial events are on probation. That means that if they don't get at least 3 competitors on average over the first 4 weeks, they will be removed (and don't rely on Mike and me to do them every week). So if you like those events, make sure you (and others) do them every week. This is a list of all the unofficial events:
  • 2x2x2 Blindfolded
  • 6x6x6 Blindfolded
  • 7x7x7 Blindfolded
  • 3x3x3 Match the scramble
  • 4x4x4 Fewest Moves
  • 2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 Relay
  • 2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 + 5x5x5 Relay
  • 2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 + 5x5x5 + 6x6x6 Relay
  • 2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 + 5x5x5 + 6x6x6 + 7x7x7 Relay
  • Snake
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 am assuming 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 hasn't changed either, but just so you know: The first (small) letters are for the tips, then come the normal moves
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. (2.5 hours for 4x4x4 Fewest Moves)
  • For Match the scramble you can use a glas (or other construction) so you can easily look at all sides of the cube. You perform the scramble on (solved) cube 1, can use 15 seconds inspection time and the goal is to turn a solved cube into cube 1
  • 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.

Looks like beginning next week, I will be doing "worst 3 of 4" averages on megaminx, 6x6x6, and 7x7x7 every week. The fifth one will be used for a BLD solve. Oh well, it's nice because it cuts out over 15 minutes of cubing per week. (One 6x6x6 and one 7x7x7 speedsolve per week, including scramble time.) Unless I can convince 8 other people to try 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 BLD this week. :)

On the bright side, maybe this means I can go back to doing all the solves every week again? (Since it won't be much more than what I'm already doing.)

Peter V:

2x2x2: 14.29, 12.01, (11.14), 11.70, (15.79) = 12.67 avg.
Comment: I seem to be improving in this event.

3x3x3: 34.46, 29.49, 31.86, (34.88), (24.30) = 31.94 avg.
Comment: Average solves, except for the sub-25 (almost a PB!)

4x4x4: (2:49.56 (P)), 3:32.15, (3:50.54 (OP)), 3:38.14 (OP), 3:21.96 = 3:30.75 avg.
Comment: Yeah, I need to work on this puzzle, but it's still a lot of fun.

2-4 Relay: 4:01.38 (P)
Comment: It was fun.

3x3x3:
37.07, 37.35, 36.87, 39.16, 38.07 = 37.5
COMMENT: Pretty good, I'm getting more and more sub-40 averages now.
3x3x3 BLD:
4x4x4:
Magic:
1.58, 1.68, 1.45, 1.62, 2.16 = 1.63

I'm going to try to do all of these, although usually I only get one or two done.

My 5,6,7 are now really ready to be replaced. For some reason they are ok for relays though. At least I can finally do MegaMinx sub 3 on average

Looks like beginning next week, I will be doing "worst 3 of 4" averages on megaminx, 6x6x6, and 7x7x7 every week. The fifth one will be used for a BLD solve. Oh well, it's nice because it cuts out over 15 minutes of cubing per week. (One 6x6x6 and one 7x7x7 speedsolve per week, including scramble time.) Unless I can convince 8 other people to try 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 BLD this week. :)

On the bright side, maybe this means I can go back to doing all the solves every week again? (Since it won't be much more than what I'm already doing.)
Come on everybody, do it for Mike!!

6x6BLD: DNF DNF DNF = DNF
7x7BLD: DNF DNF DNF = DNF

2x2: 7.38 6.58 6.90 (7.54) 6.42 = 6.95
comment: SUB-7 FTW!

3x3: 19.54 (18.74) (20.34) 19.86 20.02 = 19.81
comment: very consistent. sub-20 AGAIN!

4x4: 1:30.64 (OP) 1:26.10 (O) 1:37.36 (1:21.18 (P)) (1:59.72 (OP) = 1:31.37
comment: so close to sub-90...

5x5: 2:26.36 (2:15.64) (2:28.18) 2:22.54 2:21.46 = 2:23.45
comment: YES! PB average (H)
P.S. Arnaud, would you just get a V5 now, PLEASE? STOP WITH THE RUBIK'S!

Megaminx: (3:40.64 POP) 2:36.90 (2:21.28) 2:45.28 2:23.64 = 2:35.27
comment: waiting for new megaminx from c4y, hoping to sub-2 at benelux open :D

234: 2:07.46
comment: why not sub-2???

2345: 4:36.18
comment: normal.

23456: 10:12.80
comment: happy that i didn't time that with a stackmat... next time it's sub-10!

3x3OH: 37.14 41.06 38.82 (43.26) (33.78) = 39.01
comment: sub-40 = :):D:eek:

3x3MTS: (1:36.82) 1:54.64 (2:23.10) 2:06.18 1:40.28 = 1:53.70
comment: waste of time. not going to do this again soon (because it's off the list next week :D)

3x3 BLD: 4:38.18 4:35.00 4:03.30 = 4:03.30
comment: Jeez, I WANT SUB-4!!!!!

2x2BLD: DNF 59.22 DNF = 59.22
comment: no centres is really confusing. At least I got a sub-60:D

3X3FM: LF'R'L'B2R2B'RF'R2FRURU'FRF'R2FR'F'R'DR'D'RF'R'FyxRU2R2FRF'U2R'FRF'yR'UL'U2RU'R'U2RLU2 (51)
explanation:
LF'R'L'B preserving a pair and making cross on L
BR2B' solving preserved pair
RF'R2FRURU' solving another pair
FRF'R2FR'F' solving another pair
R'DR'D'RF'R'F solving the last pair
yx putting LL on top

2x2x2 6.64 7.35 7.84 8.05 7.96 avg:7.72
Getting slower and slower...
3x3x3 16.33 16.45 16.31 19.48 16.54 avg:16.44
The third was a OLL skip.
4x4x4 1:20.38(OP) 1:27.45(OP) 1:10.33 1:19.87(P) 1:11.43 avg:1:17.23
Normal.
5x5x5 2:25.94 2:28.26 2:44.01 2:13.00 2:18.58 avg:2:24.26
Good.

The first and the fourth popped. The second was a PLL skip.
7x7x7 7:37.40 7:19.57 7:22.37 7:13.58 7:41.46 avg:7:26.45
The first and the third popped.
2x2x2bld 1:12.57 28.59 1:14.83 best:28.59
The second was so easy.
3x3x3bld DNF 1:38.77 DNF best:1:38.77
I memorized EP wrong for the first scramble. The second couldn't be easier!
4x4x4bld 19:49.74 DNF DNF best:19:49.74
The first was my first sub-20 succeeded solve. The second took 18:6.02 with 2 corners misoriented and 2 centers swapped. It's my first sub-10 for memorization. About 8~9 minutes. The third was quite easy! But I did something wrong so it's messed up. Memorization took 8 minutes and 10 seconds or so. Total time was 18:14.26.
5x5x5bld 46:29.94 DNF DNF best:46:29.94
About 26~27 minutes to memorize for the first one. I made a lot of mistakes when memorizing the plus centers and the wings. No less than 7 minutes wasted:(. Actually I'm very tired now. I did a 4x4x4bld and a 3x3x3x3 bld today. And It's midnight now. The second took 44:8.02 and about 22 for memorization. I forgot the wings during the solve and wasted a lot of time to analyse and recall. I have to say, it's really noisy now, because It's the New Year's Eve today in China. Finally I got a few mistakes but seems turned something wrong at last and got a cube with only centers and edge-pairing correct. The third one has only 2 x-centers and 2 wings swapped. 44:15.15
6x6x6bld DNF
1:43:22.73 and about 58 min for memorization. I thought I had to do it for 2 to 3 hours. Corners are solved, 7 inner wings, 6 outer and a lot of center pieces wrong.
7x7x7bld DNF
2:35:4.50 and 93 min for memorization. I arranged 4 hours for this. It's amazing that I did it much "faster" than 6x6x6. I thought it would be 3 hours at least. Seems less centers wrong than 6x6x6. 8 inner wings and 12 outer wrong. 4 corners wrong permutated and 3 wrong oriented. 4 edges wrong permutated and 2 flipped. It's really a bad solve.
3x3x3multiBLD 2/3 16:24.88 1 point
The first one was messed up, I don't know why. It seems that I made one turn wrong.
3x3x3oh 37.99 27.58 34.62 36.37 39.80 avg:36.33
It's sooo cold. Bad.
3x3x3 with feet 3:18.81 2:27.35 3:4.31 2:40.89 4:19.72 avg:3:1.30
Very bad for me. I haven't practiced this for a long time. I have to practice for the coming Beijing Spring Open 2009. Many mistakes. I did PLL wrong on the last one.
3x3x3 match the scramble 1:53.07 1:35.46 2:13.16 1:38.16 1:24.31 avg:1:42.23
I made some mistakes on the third one.
3x3x3 FM 37 moves
Yes! It was my second attempt and I got a sub-40! Here are the details.
Scramble: L F2 L' U2 L2 U2 F2 R2 B2 F2 D R' B2 L' B D' L2 F' R' D' F2
I got two 42s and a 41 before the final solution.The final solution was amazing and I just CANNOT understand it!
Solution: F' R' B2 R2 B' R2 U2 F U2 F U F U R' U2 R U B U B' U' B' F R B R' F' L U2 L' U' L U' L2 U L U2
double x-cross: F' R' B2 R2 B' R2 U2 F U2 F U F (12)
3rd pair: U R' U2 R (4)
The steps following that came out by chance. I just tried to copy the state after the 16 moves from a solved cube and then I found it's shorter than my 2 solutions.
Now it's the way I copied the state.
4th F2L: U2 L' U' L (4)
COLL: L U L' U L U2 L' (7)
EOLL: F R B' R' F' B U B U' B' (U') (10+1)
After that I found it's EXACTLY the state. So, a short solution was found. There's cancellation between the 4th F2L and the COLL. The solution:
reverse of EOLL: U B U B' U' B' F R B R' F' (11)
reverse of COLL: L U2 L' U' L U' L' (7)
reverse of the 4th F2L: L' U L U2 (4)
So the whole solution takes 12+4+11+7+4-1=37 moves.
4x4x4FM 110 moves
Scramble: L F Uw L' Uw2 Rw' D Rw2 R B2 F' L' R2 D2 B Uw B Fw L' B2 F2 D2 Uw' R F2 U2 L Fw' U Rw' Uw' Fw D' Uw L B' Fw2 F D' Uw2
Solution: U' Rw2 Uw F' Uw' U L' Fw F' Dw F2 Dw' R' Fw' L' U2 R' D2 R U2 R' D2 Fw' L Fw2 L2 Fw L D Bw D2 Bw' F' U' F R D2 R' B' U' B Uw' B' U' B2 U' B' R U R' F U F' Uw F U2 F2 R F R' Dw R' D2 R F' D2 F Dw' U R' F' U' R2 L U L' R2 U' R' F' U2 L B2 D L D' U' L' U2 B' U' B U' L' U L' U' L F' L F U Uw2 Fw2 L2 Uw2 U2 L2 Fw2 Uw2
I just did this for fun, almost normal solve. The whole solution was found at 71min and I quit then.

First center(W): U' Rw2 (2)
Second(Y): Uw F' Uw' U L' Fw F' Dw F2 Dw' (10)
Third and fourth(G&R): R' Fw' L' * R' Fw' L Fw2 L2 Fw (9)
Last two(B&O): L D Bw D2 Bw' (5)
Total: 26

First 6 edges: F' U' F R D2 R' B' U' B Uw' B' U' B2 U' B' R U R' F U F' Uw (22)
Following 5: F U2 F2 R F R' Dw R' D2 R F' D2 F Dw' (14)
Total: 36

3x3x3

2x2x3: U R' F' U' R2 L U L' R2 U' R' F' U2 (13)
cross(R): L B2 (2)
3rd pair: D L D' (3)
4th: U' L' U2 B' U' B (6)
OLL: U' L' U L' U' L F' L F U (10)
PLL parity: Uw2 Fw2 L2 Uw2 U2 L2 Fw2 Uw2 (8)
Total:42

Insertion at *: U2 R' D2 R U2 R' D2 R (8)
Cancellation after the insertion: D2 R R' Fw'->D2 Fw'
26+36+42+8-2=110 moves.
2-4 relay 1:43.51
Good 2, bad 3 and 4.
2-5 relay 4:19.58
Not good.
2-6 relay 9:47.30
Nearly over 10 minutes.
2-7 relay 19:30.90
Popped on 7x7x7, but any way, it's bad.
Magic 1.36 1.51 1.35 1.29 DNF avg:1.41
My magic works so bad.
Master Magic 3.62 3.87 4.16 4.46 4.84 avg:4.16
It needs one more string.
Snake 15.32 18.16 16.33 15.09 17.65 avg:16.43
Bad snake. And I have just practised for no more than 2 hours.
Clock 21.46 DNF 20.59 28.05 26.72 avg:25.41
Bad.
Megaminx 2:25.51 2:34.77 2:7.89 2:11.03 2:31.48 avg:2:22.67
First 4 CPLL were the same.
Pyraminx 21.76 28.62 16.36 20.34 20.32 avg:20.81
Not too much practise.
Square-1 57.33 54.03 59.72 43.85 67.71 avg:57.03
Not so bad.

3x3: (17.21), (22.01), 18.43, 20.05, 17.95 = 18.81
okay
4x4: 1:19.98, (1:36.22), (1:16.61), 1:26.70, 1:19.04 = 1:21.91
okay
5x5: (2:08.26), 2:23.27, 2:16.58, 2:34.01, (2:47.41) = 2:24.62
Good until the last two

3x3 Blindfold: 4:23.21, 3:34.72, 4:46.04 = 3:34.72
Wow... having all successful solves is rare enough, but two PBs? The last solve would have been a PB also if I did it first.

Looks like beginning next week, I will be doing "worst 3 of 4" averages on megaminx, 6x6x6, and 7x7x7 every week. The fifth one will be used for a BLD solve. Oh well, it's nice because it cuts out over 15 minutes of cubing per week. (One 6x6x6 and one 7x7x7 speedsolve per week, including scramble time.) Unless I can convince 8 other people to try 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 BLD this week. :)

On the bright side, maybe this means I can go back to doing all the solves every week again? (Since it won't be much more than what I'm already doing.)
Come on everybody, do it for Mike!!

6x6BLD: DNF DNF DNF = DNF
7x7BLD: DNF DNF DNF = DNF

P.S. Arnaud, would you just get a V5 now, PLEASE? STOP WITH THE RUBIK'S!
I am not going to take those 6x6BLD and 7x7BLD serious ;). Mike's children deserve a father!

And I have several V5's, but I just preferred my Rubiks (PB-Single = 1:48, PB-Average = 2:06). I will have to get used to V5 from now on :(

But I really did the scrambles! I got the corners right, and a few center pieces (A)

Getting the corners right means you should do 2x2x2_blind. And I would have been very impressend if you wouldn't have gotten at least a few center pieces right.

6x6BLD: DNF DNF DNF = DNF
7x7BLD: DNF DNF DNF = DNF
I am not going to take those 6x6BLD and 7x7BLD serious ;). Mike's children deserve a father!

But I really did the scrambles! I got the corners right, and a few center pieces (A)

I just wanted to say, thanks very much for the gesture. Even if it is true that the newer, stricter Arnaud is rendering it an empty gesture due to his extreme rules strictness.

In honor of your extremely kind gesture, I promise to bring you a cookie to any competition that we both attend. :) (Admittedly, that might be a while, but I will honor my promise if it ever happens that we both attend the same competition.)

Mike Hughey:
3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 34 moves
scramble: L F2 L' U2 L2 U2 F2 R2 B2 F2 D R' B2 L' B D' L2 F' R' D' F2
solution: R' B2 F' R F R2 U2 B' U R U' R' U R' U2 R U F U' B' U F2 U' B F2 R' F' R B' U' R' U R B

2x cross: R' B2 F' R F R2 U2 B'
3rd pair: U R U' R' U R' U2 R
4th pair: U F' U' . F2 R' F' R
OLL: B' U' R' U R B
insert at .: U F2 U' B' U F2 U' B
F' U' U F2 become F before insertion.

Comment: Mid-30's again. At least it's becoming more common for me to be there instead of 40's. This one was frustrating because it had such a promising start, but I just couldn't finish the F2L very quickly. Immediately I found the 7-move 2x cross: R' B2 F' R F R2 B'. But this was the best continuation I found. I had this solution in just 20 minutes.

First try

Ah, fun! Where can one see the results or statistics after the competition is closed?
Or do I have to scan all posts?

Anyway

3x3: 65.10, 75.17, 65.20, 61.03, 66.19 = avg 65.70
(someone has to be slowest:eek:)

3x3BLD: 4:17, DNF, DNF = 4:17
(second one was so easy I got confused and dnf:ed)

4x4BLD: 17:03 = 17:03
(new PB, I'll save the others for sat/sun)

5x5BLD: 42:32 (24:24) = 42:32
(HOW ABOUT THIS ONE!!!!!, PB)

I've loaded the 5bld for tomorrow morning, and how well that went!!!

Mike:
As to 6x6 bld I will try when I get one, but I do not own a 6x6 cube yet.
