What happened to you? You finished? Where did you go? You disappeared at the end.

Also, what is the current UWR for OH square-1 Multi-BLD? I am guessing 2/2 (or even 1/2) would be good enough

Yea 1/2 would do it

I finally got a sub 2 2x2 solve, 1.72. It was done in the weekly competition, so happy.

 

[byu]

Let me guess, the fourth one?

 

[Raffael]

I imrpoved my PB 4x4 avg today.
It's at 1:39.25 now.
I need to get this to sub-1:30 before German Open.

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

Solution:

2x2x2: L D2 B' D R2 D2 (6)
2X2X1: U B' U2 B' U B (6)
F2L(3): (Z) U' B' U' B (4)
F2L(4): F' U F (3)
OLL: R U2 R' U' R U' R' (7)
PLL: U2 F2 U M' U2 M U F2 (10)

Total = 36 Moves

Done for 2009-15 forum competition, after time expired. Being my first time doing FMC, this is my PB. Can anyone give me tips on what I could do better, or if I'm even going about this the right way? Also, I'm allowed to use M, S & E turns in FMC, correct?

lol, a sub 2 isn't hard to get if you go to the thread full of easy scrambles

And that scramble from the weekly comp can barely qualify as a scramble

M, S and E turns are 2 moves. Also you mixed up M and M' in the solve, the PLL should be U2 F2 U M' U2 M U F2

Good though! I wish I was this good at FMC

I just received my first ever cube order today! I ordered a rubik's ice cube, , and a cheap square-1. I gave in after an hour of trying to solve the square-1, and solved it by finding a couple of algs. It is a very fun puzzle to solve.

The ice cube is actually really cool. My only complaints are that it does not have standard color scheme, and that kills my recognition. And I sometimes accidentally turn what are the blue and the white faces when solved, because they turn very easily, and the other sides not as good.

I am going to play around with my 5x5, then the 2x2 and see how tiny is feels.

I think I just got lucky on this one. Good catch on the M moves, I'll have to correct that. So is an M2 = 4 moves in FMC?

No, M2 is just 2 moves still. Basically an M move equates to R L' x'(2 moves), so M2 would just be R2 L2 x2 which is still 2 moves.

Also, if you had inserted your last pair as U' F' U2 F it would force an OLL skip and give you Z perm, which is 12 moves. With AUF that would give you a 20 move f2l with a 13 move LL, as opposed to a 19 move F2l with a 17 move LL.

It's still a very nice first solution. I hope you keep at it, the feeling you get with a sub-25 solve is just indescribable.

Edit: Just saw this:

19.50 avg of 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's awesome Hadley! What were the times, and what makes you think it was a fluke?

 

[JustinJ]

Uhh I just got a new non lucky PB... Slow turning...?

14.88. Easy F2L, FURU'R'F' OLL and A perm

It scares me that this happened with slow turning.

 

[byu]

Do you have the scramble?

 

[JustinJ]

Do you have the scramble?

No I was just hand scrambling, I wasn't at my computer. Can I not count it? I don't think it was a particularly easy cross.

 

[byu]

Sure it counts, as long as you scrambled well. I just wanted it to try it
