Moves Per Second Competition

[Nikman]

Dene, what's really funny is that i was addicted to it to

 

[Leo]

Averaged 5.3 TPS with URU'R With a best of something like 6.1 tps

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

[R' F R F']x6 1.89

12.69tps

But the fact is, that alg is never comfortable to use in a real speedcubing situation!

 

[Erik]

1.59 = 15.1 tps

 

[dRaGoN]

24/1.75 = 13.71

 

[CorwinShiu]

I wonder what is the human limits of tps. This would be kind of hard to measure though.

I suspect this has at least a bit to do with why I can't match the speeds of some of the other BLD solvers here.

Hi Mike,

I saw this and wanted to reply. I would suggest on your next BLD solve for 3x3, or even on a bigger cube, to turn as *fast* as possible one time and see what happens. Most likely the first few solves will be DNFs, but hey don't worry about it trying almost anything new for BLD results in DNFs at first it seems.

The goal is to be able to recall the next pieces *and* which algorithm you will do while still executing the current algorithm. I can't always maintain that throughout the whole solve, but for all my personal best solves I was always able to know not only what the next cycle was, but which moves to do, for my next case while still executing the current case.

Hope this helps,
Chris

Thanks, Chris - I will give it a try. I have occasionally sort of done this on the 4x4x4, but probably not quite as all out as you're suggesting. I'll give it a try with both 3x3x3 and 4x4x4 and report back as to how it goes after I've tried it a number of times.

 

[Dyste]

(U R U' R)x6

24/2.97=8.08 tps

(R' U R U')x6

24/3.03=7.92 tps

 

[Radu]

R U R' U' (x6)...1.63 second. Using stackmat (probably will be faster if I used keyboard hmm). 24/1.63 = 14.72 moves per second

are you serious?
man...how can you do that in 1.63...? i will time me too...but that time seems impossble to me :|

 

[Johannes91]

If I remember correctly, I've done (R U R' U')^24 in 6.5 seconds.

Edit: Just did (R' U R U')^12 in 3.16s, that's about 15tps. Stepmania isn't completely useless.

I don't want to hijack this thread, so I'll move my response to the Accomplishments thread, but I just tried this on a 4x4x4 today and got my new personal best. Thanks, Chris!

Using R U' R' U, I did 12 turns in 1.14 seconds. 12/1.14 = 10.52. I can get this better!

 

[jzengg]

Using (URU'R')6 my pb is 1.91 seconds which works out to 12.56 tps. I think some algs are faster than this.

 

[Kian]

Using R U' R' U, I did 12 turns in 1.14 seconds. 12/1.14 = 10.52. I can get this better!

How do you recover to do that last U? I can't for the life of me see how that time is even possible, as I have to regrip for the last U each time.

 

[GuyWithFunnyHat]

(R' U R U')x6 in 1.56 seconds=15.38 tps, looks like I win

I don't get it... regrip for the U each time? Every fourth move?

Yea, I still don't get why he was confused though. Was that reply supposed to be to him?
