What event would you like to become WCA official?

[Daniel Lin]

Most 2x2s solved in an hour

Ok this would be a really fun event. for each 2x2 you solve you get 1 point. I think world class 2x2ers might be able to get 1000+points

so this is how it would work
the competitor has to bring at least 10 2x2s.
There is a judge next to him with a computer and keeps scrambling the 2x2s while the competitor is solving them. When the 1 hour mark is over, the competitor stops solving and judge sees how many scrambles have been solved

13x13 oh

This event would require many scramblers, and many competitions would not be able to hold this event. In fact I doubt any competition could find enough people who were good as scramblers and judges to hold this event, and meanwhile be prepared to scramble fast enough. What if a world classer goes through a 2x2 every 5 seconds? A scrambler would have to match his speed to ensure he doesn't run out of cubes. This would be very tiring and probably go wrong over the course of an hour.

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

Why? How fast is he? I averaged around 27-28 seconds after 15 mins

He isn't really any faster than that. I was just joking about that since he posted some Kilominx solves on his YT channel. I feel like Kilominx and maybe Master Kilominx could be some good additions. Gigaminx would probably take too long, so if it were even added it should definitely be mo3 or no small competitions would have it, just like they rarely have FMC, feet, 4/5bld, mbld, and 7x7.

2x2s in an hour may be on to something, though. Maybe we should instead do 3x3s in 5 minutes or something.

 

[One Wheel]

The bigger the puzzle the smaller the role of chance, so as bad an idea as 2BLD or ranking 2x2 or even 3x3 solely on single time is, single times should be fine for gigaminx. Mo3 wouldn't be bad either, but not necessary.

 

[Ordway Persyn]

I'd go with Fisher Cube.

 

[Rcuber123]

I think most 2x2s in 5 minutes would be the best

 

[DGCubes]

I think most 2x2s in 5 minutes would be the best

Yeah, that seems like a pretty fun event that wouldn't take too much time. The main problem is, they would need a decent amount of staff per competitor to hold that event.

1. Misscrambles
2. The scrambler would have to be as fast as the cuber, or else the cubes would run out. Which makes it basically a team event with your judge...

2x2 scrambles are about 10 moves so I think there won't be much problems with scrambling speed. Also remember that the solver will be slower because of no inspection.

10 moves which have to be done carefully with no misscrambles. And if a world class cuber goes through a 2x2 every 5 seconds (Wouldn't be very hard) then the scrambler must scramble at LEAST one 2x2 every 5 seconds, for 5 consecutive minutes.

There can be 2 scramblers and 2 minutes s probably better. No avg just 1 attempt and not every comp needs to have this event

 

[EntireTV]

I'd go with Fisher Cube.

Yeah! FISHER CUBE IS FUN. It's not too hard, requires some algs, and you can get fast if you practice
Kinda like skewb.
And we have people like this:

 

[aybuck37]

Gear cube!!

 

[FakeMMAP]

Face cube / Skewb hex

basically a shape mod of the skewb, but you use different methods to solve it (I made up a speed-optimal method)

Could you hand mod it you think?

 

[FakeMMAP]

I don't know... but it's actually sold as face cube, and you don't have to mod it yourself

 

[Millsii]

I think a really interesting event idea based on the 3x3x3, is to do an unsolve. The compettitor will be given a solved cube and another cube with a scramble on it. The idea for the competitor is to match the scrambled cube as fast as possible.

That is called match the scramble

 

[shadowslice e]

Mirror block? And variations or perhaps the ghost cube. I would love more shapeshifters.
