what is the 3x3x3 single WR boundary.

[ElectricDoodie]

Well Faz and Stefan Huber already have sub 5's without LL skips, so I think definitely sub 4, maybe sub 3.

They do?

 

[AvGalen]

How dare you attack my math with reality?

Okay, I will attack your math with math.
Assuming that your proposed "a few billion years from now" is a fixed value and not a range
and that "It could happen this weekend, or it could be 10 years from now" are 2 fixed values (maybe even more if the event is spread over 2 days) it is exactly twice (or more when spread over 2 days) as likely to have such a scramble happen "this weekend, or 10 years from now" than "a few billion years from now"

just saying that your math sucked for once

*A wild StefenPochmann appears before you!*

Did you wrote that wrong on purpose?

Nah, it's just your assumption that sucks

 

[macky]

Again as far as I know, we don't 'throw out' scrambles for any puzzle.

Ah, okay.

And some judges have done so - <insert some Toronto comp 1-2 years ago>

And some organizer has done so - <insert some Toronto comp 6-7 years ago>

I think that there shouldn't be a "set" lower limit, neither an opinion of one.

 

[StachuK1992]

Stefan is like "Ghost." You can't catch him without one of two secret items.

I wonder what they are. (Silphe Scope/Pokedoll in the game...)

 

[Sin-H]

yes, but, more importantly, Breandan has 2 sub5s which were both full step.

I don't really dare having an opinion on this. I mean, if you had told/predicted me my PBs of today a year ago, I would have declared you mental... So I don't vote or say anything about this.

 

[frogmanson]

5-10 TPS + God's number (20 moves to solve cube) O: 4 to 2 seconds >.<

 

[Joker]

Good solve+LL skip=sub 5 or maybe even 4 if your someone like Feliks.
But I personally think every solve in a comp should take atleast 15 moves. And who would wanna memo 43,000,000,000,000,000,000 algs? Learn a million a day and it'll still take 43,000,000,000,000 days to learn all possible permutations.

 

[oprah62]

LOL 15 moves.......................................

 

[James Ludlow]

a double xcross ll skip could easily equate to sub3 (7-7-7move splits)

 

[KboyForeverB]

You can get sub 7 without any skips, just a few easy F2L pairs, an easy OLL, and maybe like a U perm to finish and voila, WR

 

[dimwmuni]

sub 7 and sub 6 are definitely possible, after that I don't know. Of course with a very short scramble (to the point where the inverse of the scramble would be obvious) then it would be easy to get sub 5.

 

[Toad]

There's no way the WR will ever get sub10. All you guys are just being ridiculous.

 

[Dene]

then again we've were worshiping sub 20 not so long ago... so yeah.

Hang on what? Who was worshipping sub20 not so long ago?

 

[The Puzzler]

it's over 9000

 

[Andrew Ricci]

Hang on what? Who was worshipping sub20 not so long ago?

Well, if you call 7 years not so long.

 

[~Adam~]

If this is purely theoretical then imagine all humans cubing 8 hrs a day, with multiple daily comps in every country.
Surely the 4 sec barrier would be broken in no time at all.

In reality I think the 7 sec barrier will be broken within a year and everything else will depend on how popular cubing becomes.
