Clock notation

[Hadley4000]

I got the Clock in the mail today, and must say, it is a b**** to scramble. I like to scramble me puzzles to official scrambles. I found plenty of scrambles for the Clock, but have no clue at all what the notation is.

Can someone post the notation so I can actually scramble it?

From Arnaud's post with his scrambles for the Forum competition:
(UddU u=-1,d=5 would mean Up-Left-pin is Up, Up-Right-pin is Down, Down-Left-pin is Down, Down-Right-pin is Up and that you need to turn a corner that has its pin up rotated counterclockwise by 1 hour and that you need to turn a corner that has its pin down rotated clockwise by 5 hours)

Hey, Hadley - why not start doing the Forum competition solves?

Just give your name and then the results. Arnaud gave instructions for the preferred format for giving your results in #4 here:

Enter whatever events you feel like entering each week. (I'm the only crazy one who tries to do everything - except Clock, which I'm afraid I still don't have one of.)

Mike, I used to do all of them, until I started disliking BLD. I still do most, but as of now, my pyraminx is completely broken.

Yeah, it's true that you were pretty good for a while about doing them all. As for the pyraminx, I understand. I have two: one that would be rejected in any competition because it would fall apart on the scramblers, and the other that feels like it's going to go any day. But the second one is still barely usable, so I keep competing.

I wish you didn't dislike BLD. I don't buy your arguments against it.

Where did you guys get your Clocks, anyway? I guess I could order one from the UK eBay, but I was hoping to find one that didn't cost more for shipping than for the puzzle itself.

I got mine from Lars V. Mike, I know of a couple of people who have them, and are willing to sell (within the US). I'll PM you the info when I talk to them.

I was lucky enough to find someone on eBay selling one from Colorado. Keep an eye on there.
