Yes indeed! After the cross, pairing the remaining edges is so much faster with Yau. Although you can see the solves where I completely stuff up from lack of experience. And it's a pity I still haven't learnt my colour scheme... :rolleyes:Learning from your reconstructions eh Brest?

Oooh! I'd love to join this. I very, very recently got a 4x4 and just started solving, and I'm rather interested in the puzzle now. My eventual goal is sub-1, but for now I'm aiming for sub-1:30, so I'll probably be here for a while.
I use K4, by the way. My ELL could use some serious work. Things I need to fix: My parity 'algorithms' at the moment are rather poor, and I usually set them up, I need to spot more cancellations during F3L, but my biggest problem is probably pausing, especially during the first few steps. Oh, and I need to improve my overall movecount...
Round 57
Race to sub-1:30:
1:35.74, 1:45.52, 1:20.68, 1:28.27, 1:42.33, 1:39.42, 1:15.58, 1:44.70, 1:37.13, DNF(1:37.62) [messed up parity], 1:24.82+, 1:33.10
Heh. Just off. The last solve had amazing F3L, but horrible ELL... >.<

As noted by a few participants, both the results and scrambles link posts are very out of date. Unfortunately I have had a few hectic months at work with many business trips.
I will be bringing these posts up to date, together with rule alterations about the 45s goal banding and the custom goal banding over the festive period when I actually will have some time off, yipee!
In addition I am planning to add some method of illustrating participants progression with a history of results and graphs, simplar to the implimentation by Brian in the Sub 30 3x3 Race Thread. Hopefully this will give competitors some extra motivation as you can see how well you have progressed over recent rounds.
I would also confirm that over Christmas and the New Year period the results and scrambles will still keep to the usual schedule of Tuesdays and Fridays. I was wondering about some change in some way over the festive period to add something different but in all honesty with people participating in the Holiday comp and with people spending time with families I think we will stick to the same format unless anyone has any great ideas to the contrary

A shockingly bad average and only 1 sub 1:20. Had OLL parity on 11 of the 12 solves and locked up my SS v3 on every turn of those parity algs losing so much time, but no excuses as the rest of the solves were as bad. Decided to return to the Dayan and MF8 as main after this set.

Damn, apologies I created the posts for scrambles and results just before going away on business and appear to have only posted one of the posts. Had far too many trips recently, but at least that was the last trip until February. Thanks for posting the scrambles zster007, much appreciated
