[Help Thread] FMC Discussion

[guusrs]

I noticed that there's no result for FMC449/official and FMC449/classic.

I thought this was a hard scramble and nobody posted a solution (-;
I DNF-ed after finding two poorly 25 move frames with 3 corners left.

I did post a solution saturday. And it was accepted.

I wondered as well wenn looking yesterday (did not try the scramble myself though). I wonder what results we will see for the current scramble. I found it quite hard to solve.

You mean #450? Just found a 23-mover on that one.

 

[irontwig]

The current weekly scramble is crazy; I got 26 moves and I was disappointed.

Indeed I mean #450. Congratz then. I will surely look at your beginning.

I will definatly look into that tonight.. I have found a 17 move frame that leaves 4 corners and 3 egdes. But I don't think I can do a lot with that.

Does anybody know a way to view the old FMC at the cubestation? The Wayback Machine (Web Archive) doesn't seem to be able to find anything.

I also want to view the results...
Only Team FMC100 is archived?

IF I ever had it I have now completely lost it...

Several very nice starts in there indeed but I so suck at finishing F2L-1...
13 HTM with oriented edges --> 17 HTM L5C but there's a twist in there

Don't feel like spending a whole hour so I eventually opted for a 33 HTM solve ending with the most awesum R' F R' u2 R F' R' u2 R2 F' alg

edit OOOOHHHHHH 2x2x3 :fp
from there even a possibility for my favorite alg
12 moves to leave a flip-twist and corner cycle to be inserted
12 + 9 + 8 = 29 add in a cancellation or x

Can anybody contact Per? I think the problem in fmc.mustcube.net still remains.
Here is my observation:

I sometimes took a screenshot of the submission to fmc.mustcube.net.
So far, the comments have been entried like this:

2x2x3 block: A\' B\' C D\'​

but in the previous round, it was displayed as

2x2x3 block: A' B' C D'
​

In the current round either (there's no backslash in the comments,
although backslashes are inserted before primes in the solution).
I think this is one of the reasons of the trouble.

Found a 12-move triple X-cross on that one!

F R' U' F' R2 L2 F' L' F R2 D F2

It lead me to a 40 move solution, when just doing it once.

 

[kinch2002]

There is a 4 move 2x2x3...so yeah it's quite nice

Spoiler

If you know how to use premoves
PM: R' F'
U2 F'

well there is a nine move XXX-Cross

 

[Sebastien]

the 2x2x3 leaves the rest pretty much ugly though. Didn't use it for my 25 move solution.

MustCube round 450:

Scramble U2 R2 B' U L' U' B U L R' B' F L2 U F2 U F U R' F2 B2 D' L' F' B' R2 B2 F U' R2

Don't look if you still want to solve this round without clues:

Spoiler

Premove F2

F2 R' F' U' //pseudo 2 X 2 X 2
L B L' B' L' B D2 U' L' D L U // Another 2 X 2 X 2
D R D' R' D2 R D R' D2 // place and orient last edges

25 moves all but 6 corners..

I know how to cycle 3 corners.. How do I go about with 6 corners? One is on it's place but flipped. Do I start with cycling this one with two random other misplaced corners?
