How did you count the solved centres on 20000 scrambles?

Am fast scrambler.

Actually I made an excel spreadsheet.
In simple terms: Scramble is pasted in, scramble is decomposed into individual moves, each piece is tracked during each move by using a large matrix, end product is found, 24 orientations are checked, maximum is found. Then I wrote a little macro to make it go down a large list of scrambles.
In complicated terms: Even I don't know any more. It was complicated. Very complicated.

I might upload it sometime.

haha ok, I might make a program for something like this. I've already made a cube structure in c++ so something like this probably wouldn't be that hard to do.

Finished a list of speed-optimized 3-cycle algs for wings for a DFr buffer. Will proof read through whenever I next have time and publish within a few days.

How would you feel about writing a speed optimal centre commutators list for 4BLD and 5BLD?

I found a 17 centre solved scramble Apologies for the f b turns - blame my old version of prisma which I will update before I try again. This was the best of 20000 scrambles

That's awesome.

Haha, it's already been done by DrKorbin! I was about to start today

REarrly? Should really start looking at these stuff!

I didn't DNF a single 3x3BLD solve for 3 years — that makes for a total of 61 solves.

Also: 4x4BLD: 5:04.40 (2:21)

Congratulations, Tim. Your streak is truly mind-boggling.

Thanks! I'd like to have some competition, though. It's getting pretty boring...
Mike? =)

I've tried a couple of times, and failed pretty badly. I keep wanting to go fast. I also find it harder to be accurate at competitions I either organize or am heavily involved in running.

But honestly, even without those factors, I'm just not sure I'd have a chance at your streak - it really is incredible.

4BLD: Third succesful solve ever. Very safety memo and execution. Sub-10 should be easy with couple of more solves...

Don't have the scramble, because prisma decided to be awkward. First sub-10

That's awesome! I've never gotten that close for any solve on a stackmat. I guess I usually only use a stackmat unelss I am for sure I will get sub-10.

Yeah, recently I've been using my stackmat to time memo and prisma for the actual time, but I finished memo at 6:30 ish so decided to go for it. Got lucky I suppose

I also find it harder to be accurate at competitions I either organize or am heavily involved in running.

I can totally understand that. Last competition I asked a little kid to put my juggling balls away during the BLD rounds. Just in order to have as few things on my mind as possible.

Congrats!

Tried to solve a cube blindfolded behind my back while juggling two balls (Mike Hughey style): Didn't drop a ball, but was off by an edge 3-cycle and 2 twisted corners. I have no idea why. :/

Aaaaaand I did it!
It was my fourth or fifth attempt and the time was probably around 5 minutes (I didn't time it).

4:10.64 3x3 BLD on Heise's simulator...its painful having to cube rotate for B and B'

 

[AlexByard]

Sub 4minute 3BLD, not that big of a deal in time wise but it was nice to drop the personal best by 6 minutes in one go......

 

[Yes We Can!]

Tim posted this scramble on the German forum. I got a 30.94 on it which is completely ridiculous (my actual PB is 41).
I'm sure many people could sub-20 it.
