I'm the guy that finished second in that comp with 24.33 Mo3. I don't think speed is that relevant when you're half decent at FMC. In an actual FMC solve, I barely solve/rescramble the cube more than a few times. I can just go back and forth comfortably. Things like NISS prediction, doing a linear finish on a solved cube to switch to inverse (for HTR/DR) and so on really help once you get a hang of them. I've not done speed solves in a long while and I probably average closer to you (or worse) in 3x3.
congrats on the Indian NRs for both single and average!
 
I bet this is going to go the same as Uladzislau’s 19, a clearly cheated result that the WCA lets stand.
It is sad that this 10 move fake record by Uladzislau Ushakov (Владислав Ушаков) is not DNFed.


I hope there is attention on this result as well when investigations start.

Do you have any special powers to bring this up to the WCA oversight people

wait where is the 10 move record? https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/rankings/333fm/single
 
Two important factors:
- FMC is the event where you're guaranteed WR result if you are cheating. More like using engine in chess rather than other speed events where you still need some skill and preform well under pressure
- the person had access to scrambles before the competition

These two in my opinion should be enough to cancel a record even without additional evidence of cheating.
That would quite literally mean a delegate can never break an FMC WR in a competition they are delegating, because both of these would be true in that situation, no matter if they are cheating or not. Additional evidence is definitely necessary (and seems to be present in this case quite clearly).
 
This solution will only work if there are two delegates, but if one is world-class at FMC and the other isn't, the other delegate can generate scrambles, so it would be known that the world-class delegate couldn't have access beforehand. However this will not work if the other delegate wants to help the world-class delegate.
 
Just curious... does @Kalindu have anything to say to defend himself? I haven't seen anything on his part yet

Since my name is mentioned, just to be clear, I did think he had a crazy improvement rate at first. And yes, I did look at his working sheet after each attempt (more like a quick glance) and it kinda looked legit to me at that time (I'm no where near world class in FMC yet). But reading through all the points made by others on Discord and other channels and also seeing the working sheets with a bit more attention after the comp day, I don't hold the same opinion as before.

Having met him, Kalindu is a nice & friendly guy. But as a competitor, I personally feel this needs to be investigated by WCA. It's gonna be a bummer if the accusations are valid. And looking at how the results are being withheld, I guess an investigation is happening.
 
Sri Lanka & England play cricket, and the World Cup starts Sunday.
On that basis, the guy is totally a World Record (WR) holder.
If he isn't, this whole thread will be deleted, presumably.
I'll save people time.
😔 🤨 🙄

Even though I'm Indian, I don't like cricket. And when did the world cup start?
