Hi

How about Pyraminx fewest moves? Oh well - i might consider that for my own website - once i know how to check all contributions automatically

Pyraminx (or 2x2x2) FMC should have a very strict time limit (like 5 minutes or even 60 seconds) otherwise everyone should be able to find an optimal solution.

I think that would be something that would be fun for 2 weeks, but not for every week

 

[Gparker]

i have an idea, could you do like a 2 3x3s, or 3 3x3s in a row relay? and you can do that for all cubes like 2 2x2s, 4x4s , etc.

There's no way everyone will want to do relays for all cubes every week. If we're going to do something like this we should leave it at a 3-cube 3x3 relay.

 

[Gparker]

yea okay, thats good too

 

[byu]

Just a suggestion, I don't know how good of an idea this is, but how about 2-gen (R and U) scrambles?

Icon?!?

 

[Kenneth]

I don't know if it has been suggested before but Linear FMC?

Limit 5 or 10 minutes?

Format single, Mo3, 3(5)?

 

[Tim Major]

I want Skewb first. Skewb is new, whereas Linear fmc isn't (kind of~)
Quite a few people already do Linear in the weeklies.

 

[RCTACameron]

I'm surprised that Skewb has got so little votes. It's already popular for being added to the WCA, so trying it out here would be a good idea.

Check the date on this thread :rolleyes:
It's more popular now, and one reason could be the fact it's easier to buy now (more choice, and more stores have it).

You seem to like skewb and you are good at it could you tell me what method you use and where you learnt it

Yeah, I noticed the date, but I didn't realise Skewb has got more popular since then.

I'd like skewb, if it was at MCD, I think Alastair would come first,(he syas hes like sub 20) Tim or me 2nd I guess (avging around 20-30 i guess) have you improved Tim?

I think, should be added "no time limit FMC" event, because with current rules many excellent solution not published. Reply pls. who likes FMC.

 

[irontwig]

Can't you just do the "Classic" event at http://fmc.mustcube.net/ ?

I like FMC, because it gives me something to do when my hands are too cold/sweaty/tired to speedsolve. But, I think one scramble a week is enough for FMC because most people really don't have the time or dedication to do more than one, and I don't blame them. Also, Per still has the no time limit competition on his site which you're probably aware of. I'm not entirely against the idea, but I don't think it would add much to the competition. Sometimes people post solutions that they found after the hour is up anyway (but of course don't count them) so you could do that.

Earlier I sent a solution here, but did not accept

 

[irontwig]

It's probably because you've a habit of writing ´ instead of '.

maybe it could be like this week: i send my solution, but i write the time and a note, that this solution out of competition.
