Add kilominx(2x2 megaminx)

[ketchupcuber]

I think kilominx would be great for wca its fast and fun and looks awesome see no problems

It would be interesting to have a new event added to WCA.

Why is everyone now making threads about adding stuff to WCA?

 

[ketchupcuber]

because people want new events obviously

I think that if we were to add another event (which is a whole other topic) it should be Kibiminx. It's a smaller megaminx, which some people may think is a bad thing but I think it would be fun as a shorter version of mega but still have a good bit of lookahead. Also, do you think it might help beginners get into megaminx after learning kibiminx?

But yes, i think we should add Kibiminx,

I support this! I was sub-20 at kilominx for a while, but I stopped practicing because it's not an official event. I think it would be great to have more N-layer minx puzzles in general, and kilominx is a great place to start. Master kilominx eventually???

Or gigaminx? That may be too long though.

I personally would enjoy competing in gigaminx, but I realize that it's not practical. I'm sub-10, but I know that most people aren't and it takes quite a bit of skill to get to that level. IMO, no speedsolve event should ever exceed a 10-minute time limit, so as much as I want it, gigaminx is not a good event to add.

No. Just no.

r u saying no to adding it or to the kilominx kibiminx thing

he was saying it to the kilominx kibiminx thing

Even if kibiminx is technically more correct, more people recognize the name kilominx so I think it'd be best to call it kilominx if it's added as an official event.

Even if kibiminx is technically more correct,

The minx naming scheme is kind of messed up already so I'm not sure "technically correct" has much a meaning here!

(But for the record, I don't like "kibiminx". I'm already complaining all the time (outside of this forum) about people misusing "kilo" to mean 1024 and I don't want to add on to it by misusing "kibi" to mean something other than 1024. "Kilominx" is also a bad name, but at least it's clearly named by analogy. The truly horrendous ones are "master kilominx" and "elite kilominx" and whatever the other higher even-order ones are called.)

whatever the other higher even-order ones are called

They just gave up and called it the 8x8 kilominx lol

 

[PetrusQuber]

I think the bigger versions (next two) are Gigaminx and Terraminx.

I think the bigger versions (next two) are Gigaminx and Terraminx.

The next one should be called "Super Elite Petaminx"
