Great results guys

FMC O_o

I'm dying to see the scramble

D'R2DL2F2DLR2B'D2U2L2DF'L2UL2FU

The scramble seems nice, but I didn't manage to find anything better than 28 and 24 leaving a 3-cycle of corners (didn't bother to find an insertion now).

Amazing result, I'm sure we'll see the solution soon as well.

I sucked.
Getting another 10 single (lol) was nice and a 1:21 BLD was okay too (would have been sub1 at home, not that I do BLD at home)

 

[Olivér Perge]

István (Pitzu) did 22 in FMC!

Who?

 

[Olivér Perge]

Congratulations for everyone! There are some pretty nice results, as usual.

I hope you enjoyed this weekend, thanks for everyone for the huge amount of help. Special thanks to Lars who did an amazing job!

I love you all! Definitely see you next year!

(I'm still missing a stack mat timer. If you have an extra one, please let me know! Thanks.)

best. did you know that... ever.

 

[AvGalen]

did you know that:

* When Arnaud doesn't go to the Czech Open, neither does Misa?
* Arnaud was in a city (Changsha) on Friday that had a competition on Sunday, but didn't go (because they didn't have a Pyraminx event!)
* Arnaud remembers that he couldn't get into a Danish bar because Frank was too young, and now Frank is taking people to stripclubs?????
* Arnaud pinks away a tear because he sees his children growing up too fast
* Arnaud hasn't done FMC in ..... forever, but is really happy the WR is now a "non-lucky" solve again (sorry Jimmy)
* Arnaud really misses FaceBook and Youtube (stupid digital great wall of China) but will have full internet again in Taiwan in a few days
* Arnaud really missed his phone/camera/blogtool that he lost in South-Korea a month ago, but will get it back in Taiwan in a few days
* Arnaud is REALLY excited about going to Taiwan, simply for the above 2 reasons!
* Arnaud is still following speedsolving a bit every once in a while and is sad that he will miss US 2010 and Euro 2010, but might instead make it to Asia 2010
* Arnaud thinks there are plenty of competitions in China, but South-Korea, Taiwan, Philippines and Malaysia need MORE!!!
* Arnaud can absolutely recommend everyone to go to Hong Kong and visit the physical store of http://iq-puzzle.com.hk (and meet Smaz!!!)
* Arnaud likes writing his own name

Hey, cool!
I will be in Taiwan from the 22th July until 14th August too! Where exactly will you be? I will be in Taipeh and I heart, that they have cube meets every weekend.

Does anyone have the solution for the 22 move FMC? (And the other mentioned better solutions found after time?)

Sorry if it's already here but I missed it!

 

[lordblendi]

Did anybody find a black Pi Piraminx? I think, I left it in the Arena...

Thanks, Nóra

 

[coinman]

Has István practiced a lot of fewest moves? His previous PB was 38!

 

[Zava]

Sorry if it's already here but I missed it!

scramble: D'R2DL2F2DLR2B'D2U2L2DF'L2UL2FU

Xcross on green: FD'FL'BR2
2nd f2l: RBR'B2DBD' (12 move with R2 R cancel)

and from here he should've done: U'BU'LU2L' (18 moves total, beaten the scramble by 1 move!)

but he did something like: U2BLU'LF'L'FU'L' (22 moves total)

Can you actually practice FMC other then learning new methods/algorithms? Well yes, you can, but in this case Itsván got really x100 lucky. He found a PLL skip after like a 14-16 move F2L or something, which also could have been a 18 move LL skip.

 

[Olivér Perge]

and from here he should've done: U'BU'LU2L' (18 moves total, beaten the scramble by 1 move!)

Not only beaten the scramble, but according to cube explorer, it's one of the optimal solutions!

We should use István and Balázs together instead of cube explorer.

wow.

other topic: some music for the case that the guy/girl you're judging pops his/her cube, and others wanna help him collect.
