Fortunately, making the scrambler harder will not mean that any times have to be erased, although it might make it a bit harder to beat the WR.

It might not matter to you, but some of us have our sights set on the WR!

Actually, as both an accomplishment and an example of some of the easy scrambles this scrambler can churn out:

(0,3) / (-3,3) / (6,0) / (-1,3) / (1,1) / (5,4) / (-4,2) / (-2,4) / (2,1) / (5,5) / (-5,0) / (1,1) / (6,4) / (6,0) / (-2,0) /

... which I got 5.48 on. It was a corner and edge seperation, CP skip I guessed on the direction of the O perm-opp, and got it right. Stupid middle layer...

Yeah I don't know about the current WR, but I know Dan's WR didn't have any counting parities.

I got 6.71 on that, it was my first solve of anything today. And you shouldn't have to guess on the direction of O perm for opp-O. Do M2 U' M2 U' M2 to setup, you see whatever color sticker is at FU (red for me) then do M2, then U or U' so the U layer corners on the F face match whatever color that was. In this case, those colors are on the right face now, so we'd do U to solve this. I hope that made sense.

 

[MTGjumper]

I already know which direction each alg solves, it's just my lookahead was thrown off so I did the M2 U' one straight away. Considering I normally judge ES during CS, CP in ES and EP in CP, you can see why I was thrown off.

I broke my official 4^3 single PB by 15 seconds at Brussels Summer Open, down from 1:24 to 1:09

 

[oskarasbrink]

69 magic solve ! i just picked up my magic like 30 mins ago and started off with a nice .72 and .80 avg a couple of minutes later i got a . 69 single!!!!
and a 77 avg 5 on cam
i will upload it tomorrow
watch out patrick!

Holy cow!

Congrats Oskar

Note the interesting observation (all sub-13 singles are bolded). I am forced to believe that the J perm is my fastest PLL

My first thought was avg 12. I was all, WTH yo.

Congrats

2 minutes later...

2.81, 4.40, 2.65, 3.12, 3.07 = 3.00

Watch out, Justin. I'll try to get a good average of 12 on camera, eventually.

Spoiler

You're still way better, but I'm catching up very very slowly.

I'm utterly shocked and confused. I wish I could actually say something in response to that video, but I have a feeling the creator knows absolutely nothing about cubing. That's the only possible explanation I could ever come up with. And btw, I don't think your method of avoiding parity will help anyone even SOLVE a 5x5, let alone help me get sub1...

 

[blade740]

Everyone knows that you spend an average of 32 seconds solving parity

I thought it was 34, 32's pretty damn good. :rolleyes:

'DNF' appears on my WCA profile 35 times.
I dunno whether to call that an accomplishment, or if it's just pathetic.

psssh that's nothing... I have 106 if I counted correctly. And that's not including best/avg/history of continental records.

 

[JTW2007]

I just figured it out. The more DNFs you have, the better a cuber you are. It's so obvious...
