E: Does anyone know why cameron was DNF'd at WC2011 on the 2nd solve of 2x2 finals?

Rant: I cannot stand it whenever I see someone post asking for an algorithm to directly swap two LL wings or whatever on big cubes because they came up with 'their own method for 4x4' after trying it for the first time. For the love of God, there's a reason people use reduction -- look it up before posting, amirite? It might be more annoying than the 3 people per month who come up with the idea for 'Roux-CFOP hybrid' by solving DF and DB after FB and SB.

They changed the name and order of events!!!
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS

Wait, what, what were their names before and what was the original order?

This really threw me off when I checked my profile this morning
Gonna take me a while to get used to it

At least the arrangement is more organised than it was last time

I like the name change. That makes sense.
I feel like they should have moved 4/5/MBLD up with the other cubic events though. Makes as much sense as moving 6/7.
Now my profile has a big hole where I'm missing 5/6/BLD averages/mean...

I was about to make a lengthy post asking why they chose that seemingly arbitrary order from 3BLD and down, but then I realized its alphabetical, lol.
I generally like this new order, but it comes with the downside of completely throwing off a Java sum of ranks program I hacked together over the summer that basically parses the HTML code of the inputted competitor's page based on the old names in their old orders. Too bad, lol.

Imagine if you could buy 3x3's made especially for OH. They would be like the X-Man Galaxy megaminxes. They would have ridges or indents in the pieces and ect.

I most mini cubes are redesigned to accommodate OH solving.
Or do you mean, a full out cube only for OH, not a good cube shrunken down?
I think the ridges/indents would make it harder to pinky-flick R'
They might be helpful for Feet though.
Now that would be interesting...

Stickerless cubes have always been hard to use for me, since my palms sweat a lot and I don't have the stickers to make some texture on the surface for me to grip. Has anyone tried putting transparent noncolored stickers on top of stickerless cubes? Just a silly idea to make stickerless puzzles feel like stickered ones. They should be WCA legal from what I understand.
There's this earlier post in the one-answer regs thread that seems to indicate doing this isn't comp-legal.

how many "non intuitive" 3cycles are there?
The ones I know are
[R B L F, U]
(L2 f2 L2 U)*2
R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R'
R D2 L2 F U2 L2 D2 B R
Any others?
And it seems that there are only weird algs for edges

(L2 f2 L2 U)2 can also be solved with (f2 R2 U R2)2
there's this kind of thing: L F R U' R' F' L' B' U B
I don't really understand how this corner cycle works:
R U2 R' F2 R U2 R' U2 R' F2 R U2
but with an alg that long you might as well find things like
F R' F' R U2 r' U' R2 U' R2 U2 r U2
