Thirteen Cubers, One Scramble

[CDcuber]

Is roux that move efficient?

roux is usually around 48 moves with no rotations at the top level and cfop 55.

Very nice video to watch.
I would like see the same, but for BLD

I've been thinking about other versions to do in case the original idea gets stale. If anyone has other suggestions, I'm happy to listen to them.

Noah, did you pick a hard scramble on purpose or is that just a coincidence? I think that it makes it pretty interesting

I asked him, he told me they were completely random.

Yeah, it was just the first scramble that showed up on screen. I never even thought about the fact that an easy scramble would make the solutions too similar.

Maybe you could get people who are great at their methods to do solves of the same scramble. So, Feliks doing CFOP, Alex doing Roux, Phil doing ZZ, whoever is rocking Petrus these (maybe Matt DiPalma?), yourself or another great 3BLD solver showing 3-cycle and describing their memo, etc...

This sounds like an amazing idea.
I think "One scramble xx solvers 4x4x4 version" would be neat.

Also example solves from the best of the best will never get old for someone like me. Just saying.

I second the 4x4, i love watching example solves, especially from fast people.

The problem with 4x4 is that the scramble would lose relevance very quickly. It would pretty much just be example solves from different people.

So pretty much the exact same as this? Post-cross the solves are different (apart from Jay+Conny)
And Alex uses Roux so his solve is completely different and the scramble listed is irrelevant.

Don't get me wrong, this series is a great idea, but the argument against 4x4 could be applied to 3x3 too. 2x2 however (which Jay, Cameron and Chris already did) was reasonably interesting because they one look every solve so the scramble is extremely important, and they did the same solution many times.

I think the fact it was a difficult white scramble is a good thing, shows tricks on how to make nice crosses on bad scrambles. On an easy scramble, slower solvers would often have similar solutions.

What about get a bunch of color neutral solvers and have them solve the same scramble? So you can see what color people choose. And I think 4x4 would still be cool, even if the solutions were a lot different.
