The fastest fingers competition

[MarcelP]

Round

Scramble D2 F2 D' F2 U B2 L2 U R2 U2 F2 L B R2 U L B R2 L2 B' D U'

Post you result as:
1) Initial time
2) solution, and add the number of moves so I don't have to count them
3) fastest time

Initial: 16.79 fail after fail after fail
Prepared: 5.69

Solution for now:
z2 x'
U' R2 U y' R' F R U2 R' U R U' R' D2
U' L' U2 L U L' U' L
D U' R' U R D'
U' y' R' U' R U' R' U R
U' l' U' L U' L' U L U' L' U2 l U'

48 turns / 5.69 = 8.435 TPS

I hate that solution, but it's the fastest I can find so far and it's somewhat fingertrickable.

2) solution, and add the number of moves so I don't have to count them

In what metric? I would say the one where M, E and S moves count as one move (whatever that is called)

Simplemetric. S = 1, M =1, R2=1, d2=1

D2 F2 D' F2 U B2 L2 U R2 U2 F2 L B R2 U L B R2 L2 B' D U'

x y' // Inspection (0/0)
F U R' F' // EOLine (4/4)
U R U R2 U L2 U R U' L' // RF2L (10/14)
U2 R U' R U R' U2 R2 U2 z' // LF2L (9/23)
U' R U2 R' U' R U R D R' U2 R D' R2 U // ZBLL (15/38)

38 moves HTM.


D2 F2 D' F2 U B2 L2 U R2 U2 F2 L B R2 U L B R2 L2 B' D U'

x y' // Inspection (0/0)
F U R' F' // EOLine (4/4)
U R U R2 U L2 U R U' L' // RF2L (10/14)
U2 R U' R U R' U2 R2 U2 z' // LF2L (9/23)
U R U2 R' U' R U' R' // OLL (8/31)
U2 y R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' // PLL (15/46)

Using this one for solving. Higher movecount, and I know the algorithms (and they're really fast) so easier to get a high TPS.


D2 F2 D' F2 U B2 L2 U R2 U2 F2 L B R2 U L B R2 L2 B' D U'

x M F' R2 U' D2 R' F' x' // xxCross (7/7)
U2 L' U L R U R' // F2L-3 (7/14)
y R U R' U2' R U' R' U R U R' // F2L-4 (11/25)
R' U' R U' R' U R U R y R' F' R // OLL (12/37)
F R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' l' U R U' // PLL (17/54)

Another solution. You could begin with R L' instead of x M. You can end the Y perm normally, but I add in a rotation to make the last few moves faster.

Fastest time: 10.56 (4.36 TPS) (but still trying to get at least sub-10)

So lucky that I use Green/Orange for ZZ (which is what I've been practising for the past three weeks). Easy EO (line already made!), but I then changed orientation during F2L to reduce the number of moves. First solve is with CFOP (my fastest method), and from then on it's been ZZ. Anti-Sune then T-perm is a really fast LL (except when I miss the F' at the end ). I've just added another solution which looks good, but I don't know the OLL and I don't want to have to always be looking at the solution during the solve.

Round 3

Initial: 25.55 (epic fail)
Prepared: Coming soon

 

[Username]

My solution has too many L moves, meh. I got an OK time but it's definitely possible to get faster with that solutionn (I know that because I locked on the D-move part which I've had go smoothly before)

Round 3

Initial time: 28.42 quite good...
Prepared time: 15.42 (still in progress, I want that sub-15 time)

Solution:
x2
D L2 U' L F' L' y R2
U' L U2 L2 U' L
y' U' L' U' L R' U' R
L' U L2 U L'
U y' R U2 R' y U L' U L
y f R U R' U' f'
y R U R' y' R2 u' R U' R' U R' u R2
U2

TPS: 52 moves -> 3.37 tps

If I could increase my tps to the 3.6 of last round, I could get a sub 15 time. Let's see...

Scramble D2 F2 D' F2 U B2 L2 U R2 U2 F2 L B R2 U L B R2 L2 B' D U'

z2 // inspection 0/0

I haven't practiced yet and I may use another solution but wanted to post this now before I forget.

Man, that's fast..

Okay, you are forgiven

Man, that's fast..

Thanks! But I think my round 1 was even faster...

Results soon?

Very fan competition.
My finger speed sucks, so it's good practice for me.

[Gordon]

You all have so high tps. How can I practice this other than drilling algs? Or are there any sequences like the sexy move that you do alot?
