Accomplishment Thread

[ryanj92]

Well, fair enough, but in this case we've got no proof of validity aside from his word alone that he got lucky 5 times in a row and managed to shave 33% off his average in 65 days. The only points I've seen brought up are that he is a "trustworthy member of the community" and "would never do that", or silly flim-flam excuses like "ur jealous lol".

Yeah, I just saw that in the other thread.

Well, that certainly wasn't my intention, so my apologies~ if it seems like I'm doing that.

It really doesn't come across as a concern to me, and if it's your 33% figure that's causing you the concern, remember that PB averages =/= global averages =/= competition times. I'm pretty sure his previous PB average was comfortably sub-9.

Sorry if I've been coming across as snappy or negative, I just feel like if we can't afford Kim a fairly basic level of trust and honesty then there's really not much that can be done unless that is fixed, and it doesn't offer much promise for the rest of us either

Accomplishment: 6:30.07, 6:25.37, 6:08.33, (6:03.26), (6:32.14) = 6:21.26 average of 5 on 7x7x7. PB by 10 seconds. Tending towards sub-6:30 now, yay. Hopefully sub-6 by Nottingham. Back to clock now

Im not gonna believe Kim. Cos I hate him for improving so fast and being so much ahead of me. I'm still trying to get another sub10 ao5, and closest ive been to is 10.5ish. Screw him.

I hate that too when you get two counting sub 10s and then a fricking 12 or something

I'm pretty sure his previous PB average was comfortably sub-9.

Not really that comfortably; it was 8.96.

Also 44.53 PLL time attack.

 

[Divineskulls]

12.84 PB avg100

Felt like a terrible average, but then again, all of my PBs are terrible so whatever.

Edit: With Weilong V2

 

[antoineccantin]

On the bus, I did some OH solves (untimed) and got:
1 OLL skip - > Z-perm
1 OLL skip -> U-perm
1 Fat anti-sune PLL skip
1 Easy COLL - > EPLL skip
3 or 4 easy 2GLLs

all of this within about 25 solves

 

[TDM]

1 OLL skip - > Z-perm
1 OLL skip -> Z-perm

Surely that's just two OLL skip -> Z perms?

Also, 46.83 PLL time attack. Not my best, but except for the V perm it was my best execution yet. Basically no pauses, I even had completely no pauses between some of them. I actually got me H/Z perm execution right too. I don't like double flicking M2, but it's faster. I just don't often get my hand position right before I need to.

Oops, I meant OLL skip -> U-perm

 

[TDM]

Relearned the Y perm I'd forgotten. It's 16/19, so although it's a bit longer in HTM, it's actually shorter than the standard alg in ETM. It's really similar to my Nb perm (E: one move is different that makes it more like my Gb perm), so I kept failing when trying to relearn it :fp I don't fail it any more though, so I think I've learned it. We'll see tomorrow. I keep locking up two moves from the end which makes timing it a little difficult though.
E: Best execution is still 2.01. Had two 2.04s and two 2.03s. Still can't sub-2 it.
E2: Tried doing it on the WeiLong, failed the first few times because I couldn't control the cube, then 1.84! I still can't control it most of the time, but hopefully I can be a bit more consistent. I have a day off tomorrow, so I can practise more with the WeiLong.
E3: I now know how to do F moves better and can sub-2 this alg whenever I don't fail, which is less and less

[Tim Major]

The forum hivemind has realised (or at least re-realised) that, pretty unsurprisingly, it's easy to fake a 3x3 solve. Therefore everyone else has decided that (out of jealousy, cynicism, whatever else idk) people aren't allowed to lay claim to a lucky average without being shot down as 'fake'.

Afaik, Kim's never tried to pull anything like this in the past - why shouldn't we trust him? I mean, if someone has a history of fake solves then I could understand, but why him? Because the possible actions of other cubers recently have cast a bad light over the community? It all seems ridiculous to me...

By the way, awesome average Kim. At this rate it won't be too long before you can get this average on a non-ridiculous set of scrambles.

^

This is completely different to other cases of cheating. You can't call someone out for one lucky average. Kim is likely not cheating. It would be different if Kim constantly posted unbelievable times but he doesn't. The scrambles are stupid. I think it's similar to my 10.3 333 ao5. A good second faster than my previous PB because I had a counting low 9.

I see no reason to doubt Kim

Still PB single and average (by 2 seconds and 7 seconds respectively). Also first average with WeiSu.

PB single I think

 

[ryanj92]

2x2x2
4.78 ao100 (just PB)

(apparently, the way to get PB's is to not solve that puzzle for 2 months and then decide to do an ao100 out of impulse at 1 in the morning. xD)

 

[JackJ]

The speedsolving forums are turning into Salem, 1692. Anyway a while back I posted a 10.63 average of 5 which is stupidly fast for me. Things like this are definitely feasible and Kim has proved he's very fast.

100% real, I'm sure.
