So, Roux doesn't have enough competitions. I figured I'd start one up. Every Saturday, I will post three Roux cases (2 CMLL, and one L6E/Other Algorithm). Practice the algorithm as many times as you want, and post your best time with whichever algorithm you use. I will post a suggested algorithm if you don't already have one that you prefer.

Your response should looks like this:

Example:

Case 1:
Algorithm - (insert algorithm here)[insert move count here]
Time - (insert time here)
TPS - (divide turns by time in seconds, round to nearest 100th)

Case 2:
Algorithm - (insert algorithm here)[insert move count here]
Time - (insert time here)
TPS - (divide turns by time in seconds, round to nearest 100th)

Case 3:
Algorithm - (insert algorithm here)[insert move count here]
Time - (insert time here)
TPS - (divide turns by time in seconds, round to nearest 100th)

TPS Average - (add your three TPS up and divide by 3 for your weekly average)

Every Saturday, I will tally the results and give cumulative points each week. No prize planned, but maybe something could be in the works in the future. I just don't want to make any promises, because I want people to do these for the sake of getting better and not be tempted to cheat at the thought of a prize.

Weekly Points will be given like this:

5 points just for competing
5 points for first place
4 points for second place
3 points for third place
2 points for fourth place
1 point for fifth place

If I do the Waffo faster than you, can I change it to my name?

(strictly hypothetical because that will never happen, haha)

EDIT: Is the 4 flip working right for you Waffo? The direct algo isn't working for me.

EDIT: I think it's supposed to be M' U2 M' U2 M' U M'

You beat me this time. :)

Probably I'm the slowest Rouxer on SS Forums. :p
