[WR] Levi Gibson and Aedan Bryant FMC Single: 16

[OtaMota]

At this comp, two people got 16s https://live.worldcubeassociation.org/competitions/5428/rounds/73469 It was said in the FMC Discord Server, hopefully it is true. They finished in 30 min.

 

[OtaMota]

They are all recorded as 26 singles?

Second attempt of the Mean, as said, they finished 30 min early

Aedan has it, not sure about Alexei and Christopher. So happy for Levi, I was actually the one to check it!

Levi told me that 16 moves was the optimal solution, and that Elliott Kobelansky also knows DR/HTR so he might get it as well.

I see Levi all the time at comps! awesome job!

 

[An Animating Cuber]

How did like everyone get like 26 for the first solve

 

[SkewbIsTheBestEvent]

Final results: Aedan and Levi got it, but Christopher and Alexei didn't get it (they both got 23).

This was Levi's paper

Aedan said he will do a recon video tonight. He told me that the splits were 2 move EO, 10 move DR (So eight moves from EO to DR), and a 6 move finish. This is crazy.

EDIT: Apparently they both found different 16's lol

Levi's was:

Given that sebatiano’s 16 stood untied for five years, the fact that two different people tied it in the same competition, on the same scramble, and with different solutions is absolutely wild

edit: The videos say it's the same solution. Kinda nullifies my entire point tbh

wait what the hell lol

It was a group project trust

 

[precompsubwr]

I looked at their previous solves from this year and I'm predicting that they'll both get a 25, giving them both 22.33 averages (WR31 and NAR/NR11)

Edit: Wasn't too far off, Levi got a 24 and Aedan got a 26

 

[Billabob]

Incredible!! Great solves and congrats both!

Is there any controversy here, or are we good this time? (Idk much about FMC)

From other messages on here, I think we're good this time! yay!!!

This is going to seem biased since I know them personally and I don't want to use the "I know them and they are kind so they must not cheat" card, but some things to consider are:

- Aedan isn't a delegate, Levi is, but there was also another delegate present at the comp, unlike Sri Lankan FMC Nationals, where it was just him.
- This is a single solve, so more luck is involved, unlike Kalindu's 6 attempts where the mean of all 6 was 20 moves.
- The solutions seem legit and are human-findable (Unlike Kalindu's solutions where DR's were long and HTR's were short).
- They both are good FMC solvers (Avg around 25 or better, idk, it's hard to find an avg for FMC since it is quite luck-based), unlike Kalindu, who *improved his mean by 14 moves in 3 months*.

Congrats Levi and @TipsterTrickster ! Great to see the record finally tied

Yeah, Levi told me that he had Margot (the other delegate) generate the scrambles instead of himself. Congrats again to both of them!

Wild that both of them found a different 16 move solution which is also optimal!

2 move EO is also wild yo.
