[NAR] Evan Liu - 4.09 Rubik's Clock Single

Very happy with this solve! I do need a new Clock though, my current one is dying, leading to otherwise terrible times at my last few comps.

Excellent stuff Evan. Well done.

If Nathaniel hadn't already gotten his 3.73, I would think we would be saying a lot of the same things here when the 3.73 single happened. Wasn't expecting anyone to get close to that single so soon.

Can someone put the reconstruction in the new WCA scrambling thingy. Either that or explain the old one please?

I'm not sure anyone reconstructs in WCA. I'll try to explain old style.

First move is dUdd which should look like this:

d U

d d

Which means the top right pin is up and the rest are down.

Then u+2. In this case it's the same as UR2+ in WCA. Basically do the turn on any pin that's currently up.

Then UdUd is this:

U d

U d

So you put the the two left pins up and the rest down. Then do u+3, which in WCA is L3+

Thanks everyone!

Yep, here's a slightly more concise explanation: the first four letters represent the up/down positions of the UL, UR, DL, and DR pins, respectively, and then the next bit tells you by how many hours to turn the "up" clocks. There isn't a way to write "all but one pin up" using WCA notation, so reconstructions will usually use this notation.

That was really a good scramble.

Hi Evan, I can film your solves at UK champs (unless I'm solving at the same time as you lol)

Also, what's your overall PB single?

Sure, just try to do it more secretively and don't let me know / remember until after the round is over.

I don't keep track of my exact PB single since it's so scramble-dependent, but I think it's ~3.4x.
