[cityzach]

[uberCuber]

I find this really funny.

don't worry, you live in america, there are 4move 2x2 scrambles in every weekend on comp

 

[cuberkid10]

69% of people find something sexual in everything.

2x2 single Record... .69

It's funny you say that, because there was a 4 move scramble last weekend at LSCO (and he was also at that).

 

[AustinReed]

Ironically enough, I had a dream about breaking the single WR last night. This makes me sad.

 

[Hershey]

Don't you just love 69?

 

[realcube]

congrats, of course. But on the other had I'm not good at 2x2 and I made a 0.79 on that scramble at the first attempt. The World Ranking on that event (2x2 Single) will be misleading and meaningless from now on...

 

[RyanReese09]

2x2 single has always been misleading.

 

[Carrot]

2x2 single has always been misleading.

Same goes with pyraminx single and magic single

Don't worry, it's been meaningless for many years Nice luck.

 

[AustinReed]

Now waiting for:
New 2x2 Single: 0.00

(Scramble: R U2 R' U2 F' U' F R U R' U' F' U' F U2 )

Something like that.

Not true at all. We throw out unfair scrambles. Otherwise, Rowe would have the WR with a 0.5 or something when U2 F2 showed up on the scramble sheet.

To my knowledge, the only time a delegate has stepped in and removed a scramble was done several years ago, and I think it was Ron who did it (I'm not sure about this - I can't remember, but I know it was a 2x2x2 scramble). As far as I can tell, there are no provisions in the rules allowing a delegate to do this now, so it really should not be allowed under the current rules. Am I wrong?

You're right, Mike.

Delegates are not allowed to do that. Actually last weekend we had a really easy scramble for bld (6 corners solved). I was memorizing and like "wtf?! just 2 corners?"

I thought about it and while it was a lucky scramble, it could have happened to anyone, anywhere. Also, how do we know something similar didn't happen yet?

Since the scramble was generated by cubeexplorer, makes no sense to remove it just because it was easy. If it was a speed 3x3 scramble, it wouldn't be that easy.

My point is: different solving methods/events have different definitions of luck. How are we going to rule this? A scramble like that is easy for bld, but not for speed of FM solving. A cross almost done, but not aligned, is easy for speed, but not for bld.

If a 2-move 2x2 scramble pops up, what are going to do? It is a state of the puzzle, so it's valid. 2x2 single doesn't mean much anyway (Erik has single WR but only 24th avg).

Bob: What makes a scramble unfair?

 

[Evan Liu]

So lucky...

It's funny you say that, because there was a 4 move scramble last weekend at LSCO (and he was also at that).

I can recall 3. The 4 mover at Vincent's, Lucas Garron's and LSCO.

Same goes with pyraminx single and magic single

Somehow Pyraminx WR has always stayed amongst the top few in the world. 2x2 is popular enough that you'll always have someone who can turn fast, and predict the solution. I know when there was a 7 move solution at one of my comps, nobody saw it. I got 3.36 with non-optimal, and the 2 people I watched do optimal did it slowly
There was also a 3 move + tips scramble at some competition, but I guess noone fast was there.

I agree with what has been said by Pedro.

Edit: And magic single? That's the main part of the event! I hate magic, but it certainly isn't just luck.

2 move + tips at Norwegian comp

this is retarded.
