The reconstruction thread

[Anthony]

I've always wanted to see my solution in this solve:

This was back when sub 10s typically garnered thunderous applause and many hi-fives.
I know you can't see much of the solve, so if you (Brest?) can reconstruct it, I'll be very impressed. :3

 

[qqwref]

I tried but only got a cross (D R D R2 L2 D)

 

[JackJ]

@Brest Could you reconstruct my 14.44 avg5? It's nothing fantastic for me but I think reconstructing them will help me understand what separates an 11 from a 16 and help me get better. Thanks. (scrambles in description btw)

[JackJ]

Thanks! I always thought I was a little lighter on movecount. Thanks though, my cross is just awful on some solves.

 

[Brest]

Thanks! I always thought I was a little lighter on movecount. Thanks though, my cross is just awful on some solves.

Ha, indeed! In solve 3, I think you were aiming for this Xcross: x R' D' U L x' U R' U R y' R U R
The times are still pretty good (great for me!). I think you also did a bunch of good stuff. I'm sure my solves would be really, really bad in places.

Brest, could you just reconstruct every single non-Magic former world record that has a video? =) =)

That is an interesting idea. Can you source any of the scrambles?
I had a quick look at YouTube and many of the old videos are terrible quality. Recording equipment has come along way over the last few years.
/*back burner*

How about this one?

Oh, nice find. I will give it a go soon.

I've always wanted to see my solution in this solve

I tried but only got a cross (D R D R2 L2 D)

Do either of you happen to have (or find) the scramble?
Anthony, do you remember much about the solve? LL skip, correct? Anything else?
qqwref, are you 100% on that cross?
From the comments: "move your arm stripey!" Couldn't agree more.

 

[qqwref]

Nah, I'm not 100%, that's just what I got while following along with the video's movements in Cube Explorer. But then at that point there was an arm in front of the cube for a long time, so anything further might be very tricky to reconstruct.

 

[Cool Frog]

can you reconstruct this?

It has been driving me crazy since I saw it( specifically the ending)

 

[DavidWoner]

I wonder if people are actually legitimately trying to reconstruct before asking brest to do it for them.

 

[Weston]

RECONSTRUCT THIS!!!!11

[Cool Frog]

I can't pause/play fast enough to derive what that sexy fingertrick is =(

If there is a program that can break it down frame by frame, I would be more than happy to reconstruct myself.

[Lucas Garron]

Hmm, I missed the good post a week ago.

Finding the scramble

Interesting. I very rarely did that. With Erik' 5x5x5 solve I did, and if the scramble was readily available I did, but I almost always reconstructed video solves backwards.
I hd been considering writing up what I do, so maybe I should do that, for contrast.

That would be fantastic, if you have the time.
What software do you use to view the video backwards?

 

[Weston]

Is it true that nobody saved the OH scrambles at Nationals 2011?

 

[Cubenovice]

I know it would be a monumental task but reconstructions of all solves of this one would make an awesome cubing resource:

Someone's HTA is very legit:

Orient corners
(yx2') U2' R U R' U R U2' R' R2 R U R' U R U2' R' orient all corners

Separate U/D corners
R2 U' R2'

Pair up corners
U2 aligns two existing pairs on B face
R2 U' R2' U2' F2 U' R2 U2' pairs up corners

Fix bad edges
(there are 6 bad edges 4 on U, 2 on D)
