6x6: 4:26.11, 3:44.84, 4:01.94 => mean: 4:04,30

7x7: 6:07.00


(Also I got a 21.56 OH average :-D)

Hi!

Fewest moves was really frustrating nd funny. I got 32 moves but I had a triple xcross in only 10 moves!! :-O I wasn't able to find one single good ending, så 32 is what I got. With a few minutes left I found an insertion which would have given me a 29 move solution, but I didn't have the time to write it down.

The optimal ending to my triple xcross is 14 moves, so I'm really pissed of by missing a possible WR. :-(

Scramble: R2 U2 B L2 D2 F R2 D2 L2 B2 U2 L R' D U L U2 B D' L' R'

My triple xcross: U' L B' U2 B' U B2 R2 B2 L'

My ending: U' F' L F L' U2 L' U' L U2 L' U L [U2] L2 D' L U2 L' D L U2 L


Fortunately I got a non-lucky 16.91 in One-handed, so that saved my day. I've been working so hard for an official sub-20. One of my happiest cubing moments. :-D

Please try finding a better ending than mine.

We broke a couple of statistical records at this comp.

Henrik got to first place in both most solves and most attempts in one comp, KConny got third place and also Gunnar got into top 10.

Naturally Mats Bergsten broke his own record for oldest BLD solver in comp.

Claes Hedin held the WR's for 6x6x6 single/average and 7x7x7 single but lost them just huors later. He still holds the European records though.

Because of that Sweden passed France in most WR's, current and past.

But the optimal solution for any FMC scramble is below the WR. Are you pissed off every solve?

If you knew about insertions, it could've been sub-30 I think. Just take out the last nine moves and replace it with an insertion.

Scramble: R2 U2 B L2 D2 F R2 D2 L2 B2 U2 L R' D U L U2 B D' L' R'

U' L B' U2 B' U B2 R2 B2 L' U' F' L F L' U2 L' U' L U2 L' U L R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R

No cube rotations please. :|

Hi!

This is a very late reply, since my account was blocked for no reason.

Anyway, I do know a little about insertions, and as I mentioned in my post I did find one which would have given my a 29-moves solution, but I didn't have enough time to finish it, since I found it when it was just a few minutes left.

I'm trying to get better at insertions. With a good ending I could have a chance at the WR since I usually find good blocks in <20 minutes.
