And now I'd like to hear from Johannes about how lucky this was.

 

[Pedro]

wow
32 moves, after cancelations

we almost beat the WR!

 

[Stefan]

If you stop here, we have a DNF! Damn you!

That was *very* lucky and beautiful, the pieces just fell into the right places. Especially the finish (L2 F' L' F2...), it's usually much more difficult.

 

[Stefan]

What about the later part, where we solved the last F2L pair and at the same time built a 2x2 square in the LL? That somewhat sounds like you.

Edit: Ok, I have now tried to analyze the solve. Here's my result:

cross: R' D B' L R F D'
first pair: U2 F R' U2 R F'
pairs 2+3 solved by random magic: F R2 U R' U' L2 F L2 F' U2 R U2 R2
fourth pair with lucky edges: L2 F' L' F L'
corner 3-cycle with easy commutator: L F L' B L F' L' B'

I'd be interested in an explanation of the highlighted part. Except the last four of its moves, those I understand. But its start, I have no idea what that was.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Heh, I was just guessing, since it seemed that afterwards, there were really easy cases.

 

[Johannes91]

pairs 2+3 solved by random magic: F R2 U R' U' L2 F L2 F' U2 R U2 R2

One option is to solve the FL pair with F L2 F L2 F'. Another is to solve FR with R2 U R' U R U2 R2. These can be combined neatly: F R2 U R' U' L2 F L2 F' U2 R U2 R2.

 

[Stefan]

That FL alg alone is scary (but I do understand it now). Why someone would combine the two algs like that is beyond me. How you guys managed to pull this off is a complete mystery to me. I'll keep calling it random magic. Thanks for the explanation.

oh...as you said that, I thought it was solved...didn't bother to check...

 

[Dene]

I'm completely with you here Mr. Pochmann. It just appeared out of nowhere, there is no way I could ever think of that lol. As for you guys doing it all while I'm in bed, well Pff!

37 hours, 27 minutes....

First solve: 2395 minutes.
Second solve: 2733 minutes.
Third solve:1187 minutes.
Fourth solve: 1978 minutes.
Fifth solve: 1408 minutes.
Sixth solve: 2247 minutes.

So taking average of 2395+1978+1408+2247 (taking out second and third solves) = 8028/4 =2007 minutes!!! Wow what a co-incidence, right at the end of the year and everything!!! Otherwise, 33 hours, 27 minutes was our average of 6.

Time for a new game, foot solving!! (Na I'm joking!)

Real game, 4x4x4. Scramble: F' b D2 b f d2 U F d r' u' b F L U2 l2 L2 f' R B' D' U R' u' l' B' U2 F' L' b2 B' u2 r' D b2 D' U L2 d b

Please, people prefer multi-slice.

Scrambling with yellow on top, blue in front with BOY, the front face is:

oywy
grgy
rgoo

I think we should do two-pair (to avoid confusion if we hit crappy cases), white center first, its opposite, and then go around. Fridrich on the 3x3 solve. Ready? I start:

F

[brad711]

What is multislice? And are those 4x4 scrambles the same, just with different notation? Is multislice where f really means (F f)?

 

[ExoCorsair]

Is multislice where f really means (F f)?

Yes, it is.
