Random Cubing Discussion

[Cale S]

Since there's a thread discussing a case that 'probably will never happen but could', I figured I'd just ask this related question.
I've been thinking about what happens if some guy did FMC, and randomly wrote down 17 moves or so and it turns out to be the exact optimal solution. Since he randomly wrote them down, he can't really explain his solution, but he didn't cheat. Should he be given WR?

He can't prove that he didn't cheat so no one would actually believe him, and he wouldn't be given the WR even though he didn't cheat

Okay, what if his explanation was 'I memorised the optimal solution for this exact cube state and it happened to come out as a scramble'?

And let's assume the delegate was absolutely sure without a doubt that he didn't cheat.

If the delegate was 100% sure he didn't cheat he could get the WR, but there's no way to know whether or not he cheated

2x2 single, skewb single, and former sq1 single? Getting lucky is not a crime

every wr requires some luck but also some skill. if I got skewb single scramble would I get wr? of course not. I dont even know how to turn a skewb.

dddddouble post!!!

If "2-Gen scramble" means a scramble using only 2 layers, then wouldn't 2-gen UWRs be held by alex lau???

What about 2gen <U,D>

This. Cubing is not always fair.

True but in general that's why you should pay attention to averages.

Though most of the time, the single is held by a person who most people see as worthy.

well technically isnt that moving the same layer cuz its the same axis?

How about <M,E> group then?

thats harder than MU. fingertricks suck and there are some bad cases (I think).

Yeah fingertricks suck but it is 6-moves max (isn't it? I'm not entirely sure tough. I'm thinking 2 moves max to fix the edges and then it's just a 4-mover case left...) and always simple to 1-look so I believe it could be superfast

Has anyone actually sub-1'd the R U R' U Jperm U' R U' R' N perm?

Just putting this guy and his recent NR up for discussion.

Reminds me of Jonah Crosby.

It does seem a bit weird that he gets a sub-9 average after only having had one sub-9 before that, but I don't think it's a mistake since it doesn't look like he was given someone else's results.

Wasn't that his overall PB?
