what is the 3x3x3 single WR boundary.

[Andrew Ricci]

You're gonna bring Sarah into this aren't you. :rolleyes:

Not what I meant, but whatever.

 

[JeffDelucia]

I don't think he was going to but you just did... :fp

 

[uberCuber]

3.90 is not one of the options so I can't vote. damn.

 

[Faz]

I think sub 5 will eventually be done. I do look forward to the time when the 3x3 single is constantly broken, in little increments. (Hopefully this day isn't too far off)

Somebody, EVENTUALLY, will get an UBER LUCKY SCRAMBLE.

unelss they use some uber l33t method, an obviously easy scrmable will be thrown out

I thought WCA doesn't throw out scrambles?

Over-lucky doesn't necessarily mean obviously easy. Your cube can very well be in a state which is 20 moves away from solved and have a, say, 25- or 30-move solution by some normal speedsolving method.

well cool

me to but then it will stop forever and no one will break it again

I think 10 turns a second is possible, and most shuffles can be solved in about 20 turns ... so, add a little for extraneous, and a minimal turn solving pattern ... sub 3 seconds?

any scramble can be solved in 20 moves or less, but nobody could see the optimal solution in less than 15 seconds of inspection

Ive never seen anything lower than Yu's 6.57, and it was a PLL skip, for all i know, i don't see how it could go any lower than 4.50... then again we've were worshiping sub 20 not so long ago... so yeah. But a sub 7 avg... now THAT would kick some ass. Go Feliks.

This solve is awesome!

It doesn't have to be the optimum solve, just a technique that can acheive near it ... say 25-30 turns. Then, a lucky solve happens and bingo, sub 3.

 

[waffle=ijm]

there's a difference between move optimized and speed optimized?

Even with fewest moves Petrus, finding a solution less than 30 moves is extremely hard unless you have a lucky scramble. Fewest moves allows you an hour. You can only inspect for 15 seconds. Finding a solution under thirty moves in 15 seconds? Possible, but definitely not probable.

hey look... The CFOP method will not be the faster method in 5 years or something like that. I think 5 sec.

it IS undoubtebly the fastest method out currently

though blockbuilding methods have the most potential. it has fewer moves. so logically if someone can master blockbuilding methods..then yes
Constant 7tps for a 40 move solution (blockbuilding) = 5ish seconds
constant 7tps for 60 move solution (cfop) = 8-9ish seconds. these numbers are judgemental because OLL/PLL = higher tps but..yeah

blockbuilding has the most potential but noone has gotten insanely fast yet
