Random Cubing Discussion

So for F2L, its 2x3x3=18!

2 times 2 times 3 isn't 18 factorial

also God's number is actually 27, not 20

Ooooh idea
someone who knows how to code well should make this:

6 degrees of seperation cubing style
A link is a competition, so examples:

2013BARK01 and 2013BARK01: 0 ()
2013BARK01 and 2016STRO01: 1 (2013BARK01 and 2016STRO01 competed together at Music City Winter 2016)
2013BARK01 and 2009ZEMD01: 2 (2013BARK01 and 2010BREC01 competed together at UIUC Spring 2013, 2010BREC01 and 2009ZEMD01 competed together at World Championship 2013)

I wrote a quick Python script to do this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fwt3gnrhtmu0v52/degrees_of_separation.zip?dl=0
(It's pretty large because it contains the WCA database)

Most I've seen so far is 4:

Input WCA ID 1: 2016PAGL01
Input WCA ID 2: 2013BROW04

Degrees of freedom: 4
2013BROW04 was at USNationals2014 with 2007LUCH01
2007LUCH01 was at PhilippinesOpen2007 with 2007CANA01
2007CANA01 was at ClashOfCubersDavao2015 with 2015BALO02
2015BALO02 was at SumerSpeedCubeOlympics2016 with 2016PAGL01

EDIT: made some optimizations as of 12:40 AM CDT July 11, 2016

Minh Thai would probably create some higher numbers, but that is kinda cheating

e: I can't get the Python script to work, but that's probably because I have some super outdated version of Python from like 2013 with some incompatability

I wrote it for python 2.7 and not 3.x, that's probably important

A lot of people want to add other stats into the WCA profiles, for example the method or meta averages.

But I think that the sum of ranks single and average should somehow appear in the profile and not be hidden on an extra website. I thought about that, beacuse maybe some people (including me) aren't extraordinary good at one event, so that sum of ranks is their best "event" Let me nkow what you think about that, since for me that's a simple and the next consequential way to extend your WCA profile. I didn't want to start a new thread for that, so I thought this is the best place...

So the absolute strangest thing just happened. I got a 15.05 with an OLL skip to J-perm. I thought to myself, "Dang, that's my average time. F2L must've been horrible if my entire last layer was one of the best PLLs. .... Eh, at least it wasn't an LL skip with horrible F2L, then I'd be really salty."

And then the solve right after, I got my first LL skip in at least 3 years.

R2 F' L2 D2 B' D2 R2 B2 U2 B' D L' R' U2 F' R' D' R

9.17. My second fastest time! Unfortunately, I can't find the solution at the moment.

(tbh i'm a lil salty that it's not a PB, but more freaked out that it happened in the first place)

Kinchranks. Enough said.

Does anyone else sticker their square one with blue and green in front and back rather than red and orange?
just wondering.

I do! I can't stand it not being in wca orientation (I have white on top too)!

Are you ready yet?
8 seconds... 12 seconds... Go!
That's a DNF.

Well, 94 seconds is a bit of a strange time ...

Oh yeah. I thought they meant the guy's shirt. Or the UFO on the table.

 

[SolveThatCube]

Yup. Where the hell did 94 come from? Display fail.

Probably just Snyder exaggerating stuff again but I've had my curiosity aroused if anyone knows anything about Snyder3 and if it had any legitimate existence even if not to the amount claimed. I did half an hours digging and found nothing so in guessing not but if anyone knows anything.
