Hmm... I'm wondering if we should change the rules a bit to just be an average of the times rather than an average of TPS, because if you do a longer algorithm in the same speed as someone else does a more efficient algorithm, it inflates your TPS, but really, the algorithms should be equal because they both accomplish the same goal in the same amount of time. I'm not saying you are intentionally doing longer algorithms to inflate TPS (I know you aren't), but it might be seen as unfair to someone using a shorter algorithm in the same amount of time.

What do you guys think?


Anyway, here's my results:


Case 1:
alg - R' U' R U' R' U2 R2 U R' U R U2 R'[13]
time - 2.19
TPS - 5.93

Case 2:
alg - U2 R2 D R' U2 R D' R' U2 R' [10]
time - 2.18
4.58

Case 3:
alg -E2 M' E2 M [4]
time - 0.62
6.45

Average TPS - 5.65

I agree with you, its more fair this way in my opinion.
So then my average time would be 1.09.

We'll start it next week. I don't want to change the rules mid week.

 

[DeeDubb]

EDIT: STARTING THIS WEEK - Post your average of your three times rather than your TPS. This will help make sure that people are winning by using the most efficient algorithms quickly instead of using high TPS algorithms that may be less efficient.

I'm gonna quit this competition. I don't feel like doing it anymore, especially with only two participants This helped me get better at some of my worst cases, so mission accomplished. Good job guys, and congrats to Vesper Sword for dominating Also, thanks Shah for participating every week.
