Holiday Competition!

@avidcuber

You still haven't learned Ortega? Also learn Guimond if you do so.

Yeah, I really hate learning algorithms. I have to be super motivated. I don't even know all of PLL.

Ok, so I want to do an average of 100 for 2x2, and I just did an average of 50, but don't have time to finish. Can I come back tomorrow and finish the solves, or does it all have to be in one take? How do I save my session on qqtimer?

I don't care if you do one solve a day. If you use the qqtimer from Michels sight it will save it. Or just do two averages of 50 and add those two averages and then divide it by two.

 

[TheMachanga]

Oh crap. I did 63 total solves today (different puzzles) for this competition, and I may have to START ALL OVER?!? I did them on qqtimer, with a stackmat, and I am terrible at speedcubing with spacebar (my set up is a laptop, and will make me in an awkward setup). qqtimer is pretty much the only timer that has such a simple manual times insertion, and I want to keep using it. I can't transfer my solves onto another timer, because that requires me to painstakingly enter each solve onto puzzle timer, which has a terrible way of doing it manually, and I will not do that 63 times. Is there another timer that saves sessions and has a simple manual time method (besides gq timer)

 

[emolover]

No I was talking about the one on qqwerf's site which I think is MRZG.com. That one saves times not gq.

 

[TheMachanga]

Thanks!

One last problem...I save the site to my bookmarks (safari), but whenever I click it, it takes me to the tamanas version, yet it has the same url as the regular version. Even when I bookmark it while on the regular version, it always takes me to the tamanas verison.

Fully delete all bookmarks for and qqtimer like sites then bookmark the MRZG.com one.

So I'm using puzzle timer for this comp. Is it ok if I do mean of 100 instead of average of 100? It doesn't do average of 100...

 

[emolover]

I suppose that is fine but I think you should use qqtimer because it save times.

^ You could just delete the fastest and slowest time after an Average of 100 and see what the mean of those 98 solves are.

EDIT : @ TheMachanga

Do that please.

[Jaysammey777]

It will be done the way Mats does it for the weeklies. The amount of points you get is how many people you beat in that event+points for puzzle difficulty+ 2 extra points for how many cubes attempted in multi*(1-fraction not solved).

Ex.) 2x2

100 people do 2x2 and I get 4th place but I only did 80 of the solves.

(96+3)(1-(20/100))=79.2 points.

My opinion:
It would be more fair to rank who gets 1st 2nd, 3rd, etc... in the event by this:
(avg/# of cubes solved)
then lowest number from this gets 1st place in the event then do the # of points based off of that.
The only probluem is that there would be small nubers to work with in the ranking.
