New CFOP Substep Competition

[Shaky Hands]

@pipkiksass - thanks for running this and for the analysis.

Here's this week's attempt from me:

Cross+1 Ao12: 6.99
7.47, 7.93, (4.22,) 6.82, (10.01,) 6.78, 7.69, 5.99, 6.97, 6.30, 6.59, 7.32

Pairs Ao12: 13.31
12.71, 11.72, 14.13, 13.02, (10.65,) 13.65, 15.78, 12.72, (18.96,) 14.58, 11.44, 13.33

LS+LL Ao12: 9.52
10.46, 9.33, 7.65, 10.43, 8.24, (12.64,) 9.56, 9.28, 9.55, 10.70, (7.05,) 9.99

Totals
mark49152 method: 23.16
pipkiksass method: 27.79

My most recent Ao100: 25.64

I redid a few solves where I got pops as my current cube is on its last legs and providing a DNF average for one of these substeps doesn't accomplish anything.

My method gives 23.17, remember to halve your pairs time, or you're doing 6 F2L pairs! [emoji6]

I still think it's a bit generous, mine also gives a couple of seconds less than my normal averages. Maybe x1.3 or even 1.4???

@pipkiksass - I included the 1.2 modifier on top of the 23 time and that leads to the 27 time.

(6.99 + (13.31/2) + 9.52) * 1.2.

For me the modifier would be about 1.1 to get to my Ao100.

Sorry, you're right, my bad!

Hmm... There must be a clever way of converting these split solve times with 3 lots of inspection into an actual solve time. All you're losing really is OLL recognition, I guess??

Hmm... There must be a clever way of converting these split solve times with 3 lots of inspection into an actual solve time. All you're losing really is OLL recognition, I guess??

OLL recognition is included in LS+LL. All recognition steps are included in these three measures.

I think generally the steps seem to be a little faster when done individually, just because of focus. Not sure how you can account for that, or whether it's worth doing so. The point of the exercise is to compare splits, and it doesn't really matter whether the theoretical predicted solve time is accurate.

BTW, nice that you have revived this, good job. I would join in but I do very little 3x3 these days and any time I do get is spent on practice for UKC.

 

[pipkiksass]

OLL recognition is included in LS+LL. All recognition steps are included in these three measures.

Seriously. D'oh! It's nice sometimes to have the obvious pointed out to you!

I guess the reduction in times comes from the fact that, by excluding 1/2 of the pairs time, you're allowing for extra inspection between F2L 1+2 and F2L 3+4?

@Shaky Hands, you're probably right - x1.1 is perhaps much closer. I think, last week, my pairs and LS+LL times were exceptional (for me), and perhaps skewed the results. But, as @mark49152 says, it's all fairly arbitrary anyway, as we're looking at personal splits. I'm happy to go with consensus - to round up to x1.1 or just use the 'condensed' times from the comp.

 

[Shaky Hands]

I'd just go with the condensed times personally. Will make me feel better about myself.

[kbrune]

Wow the analysis post was awesome @pipkiksass ! Thanks for putting the effort into that! Really cool.

The extrapolated average that you came to for me was very close. Within 0.5 seconds at least. Although I haven't done an ao100 in a couple years.

Regardless, love this thread and I'll be taking part as long as it's alive.

My pleasure, love a bit of analysis!

The extrapolated average that you came to for me was very close. Within 0.5 seconds at least.

Jury's out on this one. For me it's around x1.2, for others apparently x1.1 is closer. I'll look at everything at the end of this round, and possibly publish x1.1 and 'raw' for comparison. As Mark mentioned, it's pretty much a moot point, as we're looking at it as a proportion of your own solve anyway, but it's interesting (IMHO) to see how many seconds you need to reduce e.g. your cross time by as a portion of a real solve, rather than an abstract amount of time...

[pipkiksass]

Round 24 results:

@MarcelP wins Cross + 1, narrowly pipping @CJK , and the rest of us were MILES behind once again. @CJK, you totally bossed pairs for a second week. @Shaky Hands, another fantastic week on the LL.

I'm not sure how to chart progress. I've had a play with a few charts, but they're mostly meaningless. Any requests from anyone? It would be nice to show progress against previous weeks towards the ideal splits...

Good luck, everyone. In a week where the World Record was set with a forced LL skip, I'm thinking of setting the ideal % for LL to zero - something we can all aspire to!!!

 

[Shaky Hands]

@Shaky Hands, another fantastic week on the LL.

Thanks again for running this.

I'm wondering whether my LL is good (I only use about 50% of OLL in speedsolves although I can do several more in FMC-style situations,) or it's just that my F2L sucks!

It's all relative, so your LL is good .

And I also want to thank pipkiksass for running this!
It's pretty amazing to see your times from another perspective.

Oh BTW: My actual Ao100 is 12.76s

I'm wondering whether my LL is good (I only use about 50% of OLL in speedsolves although I can do several more in FMC-style situations,) or it's just that my F2L sucks!

I think I use around 50% of OLL in speed solves, just occasionally I'm starting to bleed in new algs. I find it hugely satisfying to recognise and execute a new OLL alg in a speed solve, and still finish the solve in or around my global average. Possibly more satisying, at the moment, than a random good single (although I had a non-lucky 13 today, which was fun).

I think the issue is that once you're on one-look OLL and PLL, and have decent algs, LL is largely optimal (because its entirely algorithmic). Relatively speaking, my F2L is SHOCKING. And my lookahead is non-existent.

It's all relative, so your LL is good .

^^What Mark said!

I'm enjoying running this comp, can't wait to do my solves tomorrow. It's nice to compete against yourself.
