So, I just randomly had this idea for a fun competition. The idea is to take a 3x3 scramble, and you can solve it however you want to. You can use AI to find the best solution, or just find a fast solution yourself- the idea is to get the fastest time possible with the scramble. I am not super good at organizing things, so some help with this would be appreciated! Here are the rules I have come up with so far.
-I will provide the scramble. I figured we could use my PB scramble, just so that it's not a horrible scramble. It has a solved 2x2x1 on yellow.
-If you want to compete, you will need to submit a video of your solve. It is kind of hard to cheat at something like this, so as long as you can show all 6 sides of the cube are scrambled correctly, and preferably have the timer visibly running during the solve, then that should be good enough for my purposes.
-The solve should be on stackmat. Since the downsolves will probably get fast, using the spacebar could allow you to have much faster pickup speed.
-Here is the scramble: U L D F' L D R F' R2 U2 D' R2 U' R2 F2 U' B2 L2 R
I wanted to make it interesting and throw in a prize as well, so if this ends up happening, I will provide a 10$ gift card to TheCubicle. If you win, and you live far away from TheCubicle, I could probably get a gift card to a different puzzle store, as long as they provide that service.
I will repeat, this is still just an idea and nothing is settled yet! This thread is just to discuss setting it up. If it does happen, making a separate thread for submissions would be a good idea.
If you have questions, ideas, or even criticisms, PLEASE TELL ME!
