Fewest Moves: 35

I usually suck at fewest.. but this is quite good I think. Done for the weekly comp.

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



B2 E' B2 E U2 F L' U' L U' R B' L U L' F R' F' B U' B2 R B R' U2 R U R' U F' U' F U' - 35

Are you aloud to write E, S or M in fewest? Well.. I counted E as 2 moves, since I know that it is 2 moves..

Edge insertion: B2 E' B2 E (6)
X-cross: U2 F L' U' L (5)
2x2x3 block: U' R B' L U L' (6)
F2L #3: F R' F' B U' B2 R B R' (9)
F2L #4: U2 R U R' U F' U' F (8)
AUF: U' (1)


It took 6 minutes to find and write down.

Yeah, E S and M are two moves, and you're allowed to use them.

 

[soccerking813]

E, S, and M count as 2 moves each, and E2 S2 and M2 count as two also.

I time myself on the 4x4 and 5x5. My times were 4:15 for the 4x4, and 11:30 for the 5x5. I suck.

 

[SimonWestlund]

E, S, and M count as 2 moves each, and E2 S2 and M2 count as two also.

Yes.. I know that!

I just wasn't sure if you could use them in competition.

Thanks though byu

nice solution, eh?

You realize that cancels into D U' making your solution 34? While it is technically allowed, I would advise against writing your moves as slices, wide turns, or rotations. It makes it a lot easier to do insertions if you only have to look at ordinary face turns, and you will be less likely to miss things like this. I always scramble and solve from a fixed position (no rotations) and have memorizes which colors correspond to which letter. It makes things much much easier.

Edit: Note that if you had written your solution like this in competition, it would still be counted as 35 even though it is only 34 moves.

Thank you! I'm not very experienced with Fewest Moves.. You learn from your mistakes, right?

I was going to not write E and write it as normal moves instead.. but I don't know why I didn't..

Aww man, this probably would have been a pb average, but I got a DNF, because of a pop during a t permutation. I'm guessing the time would have been sub 11 on the DNF, making the average sub 11.5, and possibly a PB

Also, two 10.00 solves - wtf?

Average: 11.90
Standard Deviation: 0.00
Best Time: 9.50
Worst Time: DNF
Individual Times:
11.45, 10.00, 11.67, 11.50, 10.58, 13.47, 11.26, 15.50, 10.00, (9.50), (DNF), 13.56

Did a 4x4 session and rolled this:

Average: 1:02.97
Standard Deviation: 1.00
1:02.90, (1:09.64), 1:04.22, (1:01.29), 1:01.78

All non-lucky, and there was an average number of parities. I was determined to get a sub-1 single (didn't manage it in the whole session ) but this will do

 

[soccerking813]

Got a new pb average of 12 using the Roux method.

Average: 43.07 sec.
Individual Times: (35.91), 42.53, 44.72, 41.06, 40.92, 50.39, 36.80, 43.95, 44.09, (50.55), 42.28, 43.96

Sub-40 will be soon.

I got my first 4x4x4 cube yesterday. It was from Mefferts..... This morning i timed myself to see where i'm at, and got 3 mins...... which is great for me!!

Average: 2:10.10

PB 5x5 average and single. The last one was a PLL skip, but was also a really awesome solve in general, with reduction by 1:30

 

[MistArts]

(2.73), 4.41, (5.91), 3.50, 4.29 = 4.07

All except one were CLL's that I knew. I have about 20 CLL's left to learn.

I came in 3rd place in 3x3x3 at the Motor City Open yesterday It's my second time in a row coming in 3rd

 

[Lofty]

After seeing Nakaji's new video I decided to learn an actual pyra method instead of just my solve one side then spam moves until you get lucky method. So I've done about 75 solves, 50 last night and 25 this morning.
average of 12-14.27
average of 5- 12.60
single-10.25
Edit:
Average of 12-13.90
Average of 5-11.27
Single- 9.86

 

[Garmon]

I finally fixed my magic, then I learnt a new method.
My best time is 1.96 after a good 3 hours.
