Moves Per Second Competition

[Nikman]

Hi I am wondering how fast people can move their rubik's cube!

So, I will hold an online speed competition.

Repeat the alg "R' D' R D" 12 times.

Then divide 48 by your time.

eg. 48/12s = 4 moves per second

Then post it!

Winner gets the privilege of knowing that they are the fastest.

Thats are hard one to do haha, what about using RUR'U' (x6)

 

[Harris Chan]

R U R' U' (x6)...1.63 second. Using stackmat (probably will be faster if I used keyboard hmm). 24/1.63 = 14.72 moves per second

 

[Nikman]

I guess you could use another alg but i have just learned that one
ps i made my own timer out of k-nex pic soon

 

[Kemp_Drumsalot]

Hey Chan, try L'U2LUL'UL (x6)

 

[CorwinShiu]

I did the first one, but I tilted the cube sideways after picking it up to do the R and D's (The way I do it in blindfold solving) .

48/5.83 = 8.22 turns per sec

Edit:

The RU thing 6x, I got 2.67

24/2.67 = 8.99 turns per second

My best time out of many attempts was 3.44 seconds for R U R' U' x6. 24/3.44 = 6.98 moves per second, better than I thought. Every time I go to do it my hand tries do do the T perm, definitely slows down my start.

1.63 seconds is insane!! Please, I won't believe this until I see videos! (Ok I believe it, but I would greatly appreciate any videos (showing how you do it in slow-motion to start, and then showing speed) as well ^^).


Grrr!! Every time my hands try to follow through with the T perm (which I managed to pull off in 1.83 seconds, I think a personal best, although using a keybooard, starting with cube in hands, is a bit inaccurate. Timer coming soon!)

 

[Dyste]

How about U R U' R'(x6)? It flows better.

 

[Nikman]

well i guess that no matter what alg it only matters about moves per second.

with r' d' r d i like to use these fingers
Right thumb top right edge
Left thumb front left edge

R' with wrist
D' with right ring finger
R with wrist
D with left ring finger

 

[Nikman]

my PB is 3.92 for R' D' R D (x6)
24/3.92=6.122 i know it is slow but i have been cubing for 3 weeks

 

[Cerberus]

R' D' R D - 6.05 => 48/6.05 = 7,93 turns per second
R U R' U' - 3.09 => 24/3.09 = 7,76 turns per second
U R U' R' - 4.58 => 24/4.58 = 5,24 turns per second =(
and i will beat 8 tps soon i hope ^^ getting my diy cube in few days... i think...

 

[masterofthebass]

Best RUR'U' was 2.10 => 24/2.10 = 11.42 TPS

 

[pjk]

11.63 moves per second was my best.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Like CorwinShiu, I did the original one tilted sideways, since I also do that for blindfold CO.

My best: 48 / 8.08 = 5.94 moves per second.

I suspect this has at least a bit to do with why I can't match the speeds of some of the other BLD solvers here. My moves per second are probably equally slow, relatively speaking, on all the other algorithms I use as well. My memorization could use improvement too, but I suspect my execution is my bigger issue. I'll just have to work on it, I guess.

Does having a DIY cube really help that much? Maybe I will get one sometime next year, but I think my store-bought cube is good enough for now, it is really loose (it has even started popping as of late, although that is probably because I'm turning it faster more than because it is getting looser).

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

(L' U' L U) x 6: 1.94 = 12.37 tps

 

[Dene]

Ok I did it again, doing R U R' U' x12 and got 6.83 seconds as my best time (and unexpectedly my first out of many attempts) before my arms got too sore.
48/6.83 = 7.03 moves per second. A bit better...


EDIT: Ok I'm addicted to this now. I managed a 2.36, but I was 3 moves short of finishing, therefore: 21/2.36 = 8.9 moves per second.

 

[Nikman]

my new average is 121 tps

edit- i meant 12.1

 

[philkt731]

hm thats kind of fast
(R U R' U')x6 in 1.83 seconds
24/1.83: 13.11

 

[Dene]

After some more practise, I got a 2.39.

24/2.39 = 10.04 moves per second.
