Nice job! You're getting quite good indeed. (I wonder when your physical 4x4 times catch up!)

Improvement of over a second in a day, or just out of practice?

I saw some of the conversation on StrangePuzzle about random state scrambling for sq-1, noting that both you and I had 19 parities, which I calculate as having a ~6% chance of occurring assuming parity/no parity is 50-50. If random state scrambles were introduced, surely this would affect competition times? Would anything happen about it?

I redid the first scramble for fun and got a PLL skip - 13.59!

Nah, I'm just inconsistent.

Also, yeah. I think the current scrambler is bad, but I'm not sure if changing it is 100% necessary, because it would make the event significantly harder.

 

[qqwref]

If it would make the event harder, then it IS necessary - it means the current scrambler is giving easy scrambles (on average), so the scrambler is actually giving people an advantage over an ideal scrambler, which means it needs to be retired as soon as a reasonable random-state scrambler shows up. (If you don't agree, imagine that the current 3x3 scrambler gave 8-move htm scrambles.) 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.


Accomplishment: UMC works on this computer, so I went and solved a Teraminx. (In under 45 minutes.)

New 3x3x3 PB single = 20.13 sec. Yeah, it was an OLL skip, but I'll take it. PB non-lucky is only about half a sec more. So close to sub-20!!! I'll get one soon.

PB Average of 12: 20.30

The last solve was a 26.xy... Sooooooo close to sub 20.

I'll let him tell you, it's better that way.

[14:46] <Jai> Faz: how many lucky solves?
[14:46] <Faz> i can see the first pair all the time
[14:46] <Faz> erm
[14:46] <Faz> an oll skip somewhere
[14:46] <Faz> 9.4
[14:46] <RanzhaVE> The 8.06 really helped you.
[14:46] <Faz> i tried to roll the 10
[14:46] <Faz> but got an 11

Just your perverted mind.

Also, no, because your statement is incorrect. I am not the best at any puzzle in the world.

Copy scramble

The other day I said to myself, "Self, Imma scramble this here cube then see if I can make my other match." So that's what I did.

I realized - as I found myself saying "..umm crap, do I... do another R'? Wait, where was I? ..damnit." - how much I rely on seeing the OLL come together to finish up a couple of my algs. And rather than try to fix that mess I just started over.

...so, it was my first time but it was fun. I didn't time it but basing it on how long it took during a segment of a show that was on I'd say it took about 10-15 minutes (including the redo). (PLL sucked!)

When I finished I was trying to show my wife and neighbor: "Hey! Check this out! Look what I did! ...Hey, look!"

But sadly all I got was: "Yeah yeah dude we see it now STFU we're tryin to watch this show."
