Kalindu Sachintha Wijesundara19.67 FMC MEAN -

[FineGeoduck2211]

I'm Indian-American but I'm personally not offended by that statement, and it is very true that many online scammers are from India, but correlation does not mean causation. Just because someone is Indian does not make them a scammer. The percentage of Indians who scam is 0.001% of the population (Probably even less). Almost all Indians are nice people. The same thing can be applied to other stereotypes, such as all muslims being terrorists, even though a very, very small fraction of muslims are actually terrorists, and almost all muslims are quite peaceful and friendly. I hope I changed your mind on this. It doesn't make sense if the reason why someone is suspicious is because of their ethnicity.

Gotta say, this is kinda fact. But don't add on the drama more in this thread.

Edit: Still racist tho, I'm Indian.

Hey guys, just wanted to apologize if that was racist and mean. I don't hate Indians (or anyone) at all. That would just be racist and completely opposite of what the Bible calls us to do which is to love one another just as you love yourself. I was just saying that I felt that this world record could have been a scam and cheating, but not that the guy cheated because of his background or race. I hope you guys understand, and again, I apologize if that was racist and offended anybody (Also, Indian people are very friendly and nice!)

We just got those people sometimes who'd post something random like "the price of chicken in China" in a WR thread.

What is the price of chicken in China?

Can I at least get a recon of the mean?

How long does it take to decide if the FMC WR is legit? That's what this thread is supposed 2b about
Is this forum part of WCA? Why are most people on here American? Did I miss the British forum somewhere - I only joined 2 months ago.

As long as it takes

That's what this thread is supposed 2b about

Yes. Let's keep it on topic. You are one of the people most taking this thread in wild directions

Is this forum part of WCA?

No.

Why are most people on here American?

Because

Did I miss the British forum somewhere - I only joined 2 months ago.

I don't know of any forums specifically for certain nations but I think TwistyPuzzles.com has some more diversity. The focus there is less on speed solving and has an older user base. Worth checking out.

I don't know much about FMC, but this is a little suspicious. While he has done a lot of FMC competitions, its really not much compared to other world class competitors. He also has NR for a bunch of blind events, so its not like he spends heaps of time on FMC.

Is it possible the guy is such a genius that no one can understand what he does?

 

[ifpigscouldfly54]

First, no hate towards this guy. if this record is legit then well done. im just giving my opinion.

I don't know much about fmc but this seems kinda suspicious. he holds multiple NRs in blind, so he obviously isn't spending all his time grinding fmc. Also his improvement from a 45ish average to a WR in 2 years is a little suspicious.

 

[ifpigscouldfly54]

yes

 

[qwr]

yes

no

 

[siwoo]

We should stop talking about race and religion in here.

This is whats wrong with the Cubing Community nowadays

You literally screen recorded popular people's records and videos and reposted them on your own channel so you could get views, you aren't any better bro

 

[tseitsei]

Is it possible the guy is such a genius that no one can understand what he does?

Everything is possible but it isn't realistic in any way.

And even if he is he should definitely try and explain it. That is even stated in the fmc rules specifically that you have to be able to provide a reasonable explanation for your solves. He has not done anything like that. In the INSANELY slim chance that he is using some new groundbreaking supertechnique, he definitely needs to explain how he does it.

WR2 and then WR means in two consecutive rounds of FMC, with of a best single of only 19. I’m no stats major or FMC expert but you can’t say the suspicion isn’t legitimate. Not to mention the seemingly impossible improvement and the access to the means to cheat.

 

[qwr]

The explanation "the solutions just popped into my head"

 

[precompsubwr]

The explanation "the solutions just popped into my head"

as unbelievable as my dad coming back

 

[ProStar]

The explanation "the solutions just popped into my head"

If that really is the explanation he provided then that’s pretty rough. I don’t know much about FMC but I know enough to realize that’s a ridiculous explanation and not at all how FMC works, especially considering how unlikely the solutions were (he went down paths most top solvers would discount because you’d need to be super lucky to get something good)

I was joking but afaik so far he hasn't provided an explanation. maybe he's in contact with the WCA.

wow very nice fewest move count mean wowow

 

[bldcuber314]

Would it be possible to have delegates from different countries or who or not competing to generate scrambles for competitions(or other non-physical organisation that would enable cheating)?

 

[kubesolver]

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).

Yes. I understand this is a little controversial point but yes.

Getting a WR in by someone outside of the very top is extremely unlikely.
For someone with ability to cheat his way to be tempted to try is more likely.

And the bigger the cubing grows, the harder it is to get a WR and more pepole will get an opportunity to cheat.

So if you see the super lucky WR coming from someone who had an easy way to cheat the most likely reason is that they indeed cheated.

And if you're a delegate than forfeiting your right to claim a WR in an extremely extremely lucky scenario that you actually perform that well fairly is a small price to pay for the integrity of the records.
