[Unofficial] Feliks Zemdegs 18 consecutive Sub 7 3x3 solves

[Tony Fisher]

You can say that about any reasonably easy scramble.

Not that it matters but too many easy ones in the sequence. I am well aware that cubies will come together a lot but probably not to that degree. I think it's impossible for any human to consistently randomise a cube in such few moves. We all have natural biases.

Don't know if joking, but he's using computer-generated random state scrambles isn't he? Natural biases won't come into play then.

The number of competitions in US vs Australia is irrelevant because no US cuber goes to every US competition, and Feliks goes to several competitions outside of Australia. What matters is how many comps per year the average fast (as in capable of sub-8 average) cuber goes to, and I don't think that the 10 competitions that Feliks went to in 2015 is that few.

Here's how many comps the fastest US cubers attended.
Lucas Etter: 7
Keaton Ellis: 12
Collin Burns: 12
Kevin Costello III: 6
Drew Brads: 5

Compared to the fastest Australian Cubers:
Feliks Zemdegs: 10
Jayden McNeill: 10

Ok, so you included every Australian cuber, who is sub8, but you did not inlude every sub8 US cuber. Also the statistics that you gave only confirm what I said before. US guys has in total over 40 chances to get a WR, while Australian cubers had only 20.

Yes, I just picked a representative sample. The point is the average fast Australian cuber goes to roughly as many comps as the fast US cuber, so the number of competitions has nothing to do with it. If you're pointing out that there are more faster US cubers, then I agree with you, but that's a population thing and has very little to do with the number of competitions.

 

[Sajwo]

but that's a population thing

I have to disagree one more time. Look at China and India. There are way more people, but the amount of fast cuber is just small (In India nobody is fast...). I think that 3x3 is simply extremaly popular event in US. Or look at the Skewb rankings in Poland. 12/35 sub4 people are from there. We just like Skewb and the US like 3x3, it's simple

I meant cubing population . Has to be, looking at the 11500+ North American cubers out of 500 million population vs less than 500 in Africa out of a population of 1.1 billion.

Computers don't have biases.

Could we get reconstructions for these solves? There are a lot of good techniques here I'd like to learn from.

The solve at 4:32 is awesome (12.45 tps).

holy.... WHAT!?

Are you sure nobody is fast in India? Kabyanil Talukdar has 3x3 avg in top 100 and was the former BLD record holder. Please check your facts next time

I know it's asking a lot, but any chance we could get reconstructions for these solves?

reconstructions??? (haha I got excited when I saw you posted and expected reconstructions)
