I agree with you. The most real evidence will probably be the statistical anaylsis, because personally, I am unable to provide an actual solid argument as to why it’s fake. I think many other top FMC solvers would also struggle to form an argument to the quality of an argument in an actual court...

Most cheaters don’t leave an obvious trail of concrete evidence behind them. It would be smart to cover your tracks if you want to be a successful cheater. So for this case, we have to rely on forms of non-direct evidence like circumstantial evidence, expert testimonies, statistical analysis...

I have never seen a solution like that before! I can't actually see what first 6 moves do, but then it all comes together. Looks like a new novelty method, very cool. Here on my scramble I tried something kind of similar. Obviously this solution isn't for speedsolving. Just fun. :) y' F R' F'...

My method for 3x3 FMC is two-step: 1) Solve any 2x2 block (including over the line, like ACDF or BCHI) 2) Finish 2-gen (just focus on solving the easiest layer, and then the last 3 pieces fix themselves) Generally it’s 3-4 moves for each step, and I average about 7.2 moves (linear). Edit- My...

I just did more than 100 solves on 4x4 Loopover. This is my new PB Single: 6.28. (19 moves!) I usually get ~11-12 seconds on 4x4 now, half as much as regular 5x5 Loopover. Edit: My PB’s! I did some 3x3 too! 3x3 1.28 1.88 2.32 2.66 3.55 4x4 6.28 8.37 9.09 10.60 11.55 12.21 5x5 15.35 18.11...

I’ve done almost 400 solves on Loopover. New best single of 15.35 seconds. (18.8 ao5 too!) I usually get about 22-23 now.

I tried 2x2 FMC loopover just for the lolz. I did 50 solves, 2.40 Mo50 (2.41 Ao50). I got a 1.0 Mo3, 1.33 Ao5, and 1.90 Ao12. Try to beat my PB Ao12 of 1.9 lmao. I’m assuming optimal average must be 2.4. 4! = 24 states. Wild guess at the distribution: (0 depth has 1 state but will never show up)...

Update: New PB. 6.60 Ao12. 7, 8, (5), 6, 7, (11), 5, 7, 7, 7, 5, 7. :)

Oh my gosh I didn't expect to be so correct! So god's number is actually 8, fantastic! As for average optimal length, it must be 6.1 moves. I used the data from that table and did this: ((0*1)+(1*12)+(2*96)+(3*736)+(4*5208)+(5*28674)+(6*89497)+(7*54741)+(8*2475))/181440 So, this means my 6.9 PB...

I just beat this with a much more consistent session: 6, 7, 7, 6, 8, 6, 8, 6, 8, 7, 7, 7 = 6.90 Ao12 3x3 FMC Loopover. I have some feeling God's Number is 8 moves, and I'd guess the average optimal length is probably 6.8 or so. I didn't have any lucky (5 moves or less) solves, so to beat my PB...

Loopover is super interesting! I tried the 3x3 FMC. (Linear solutions/no undo) 9, 7, 11, 6, 7, 8, 7, 7, 9, 6, 7, 6 = 7.30 Ao12. I also have a 5.33 mo3 (4, 5, 7) and 6.33 ao5 (9, 4, 5, 7, 7). I want someone to beat my PB ao12!

I posted this 3 years ago. These algorithms are not very good, they didn’t even come from a cube solving program. I would encourage people to generate 21 better algorithms for FP. Also keep in mind that FP is largely novelty and L4E is likely much faster for speedsolving.

This should be what you’re looking for. Here you go! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P-KMcvKHK4UkRVkITRZqtlbBX3Yr8HmWMUCh4BjtVUk/edit#gid=0

This was edges first not corners first… 😳 I suppose in blind solving it might not really matter which you solve first lol.
