The Statistical Case for Combined Finals

[riffz]

I have to agree with AVG for the most part.

- 3/5 is the preferred format for most puzzles (now also for megaminx) and I long for the day that it will be available for even more events like 6x6x6, 7x7x7 and 3x3x3 blind (I am serious about that last one, but please don't fill up this already hard to maneuver topic with replies to this)

I know you asked specifically that we don't reply to this, but I just had to. Expecting competitors to get 4 successes out of 5 attempts in BLD is ridiculous IMO.

Yes, because people are totally incapable of solving 24 out of 24 cubes succesfully :fp
