Weekly competition 2008-28

[Jacco]

Jacco

2x2: 6.22, (4.34), 5.16, (10.44), 8.83 = 6.74
Not bad =D

3x3: 22.00, 21.91, (26.09), (18.34), 23.28 = 22.40
Ok.

4x4: (2:14.21), 1:44.50 (P), (1:24.90), 1:39.33 (O), 1:58.75 (O) = 1:47.53
BAD.

5x5: 2:47.11, (2:57.81), 2:55.80, 2:43.96, (2:35.80) = 2:49.29
Average.

6x6: 7:03.81 (O), 7:27.43 (P), (7:42.33 (OP)), 7:03.83, (6:57.68(P)) = 7:11.69
I guess this could be way faster after some more practice.

2x2 BLD: 1:15.03, 1:04.66, DNF = 1:04.66

3x3 BLD: DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF
Hooray! Anybody found my consistancy?

3x3 OH: (46.61), 51.91, 59.71, 48.83, (1:03.93) = 53.48
Disaster

Match the scramble: 3:31.03, 2:34.81, 2:47.00, (1:52.33), (4:29.93) = 2:57.61
First try at this

2-3-4 Relay: 2:13.02 (OP)

2-3-4-5 Relay: 5:09.52 (OP)

Clock: (18.50), 18.22, 18.44, (17.30), 17.77 = 18.14
I'm gonna practise this more.

Fewest Moves:
Scramble: U' L2 U2 B2 R2 B2 U B2 D R B' R B2 D' B R D' B R' F (20f)
Solution: U' L' U F' U2 B' D2 L2 D2 L' x2 R' F R U2 R U R' y' U2 L' U2 L U F' U' F U' F' U2 L' U L F y' F' L F R' F' L' F R y' L U' R' U L' U2 R U' R' U2 R (51)

I'm fixing a problem that has arised due to the fact that he isn't here. I don't think someone can say "I'm the only one who can fix this, but I'm not here, so it won't be fixed"

Maybe what you can do is just post alternative scrambles as a separate post here, and then Arnaud can fix the scrambles in the original post later. And maybe you could edit his original post with just an "editorial comment" pointing to your alternative scrambles (to make sure that people who are just first looking at them notice that there is an alternative). That way you're not just directly changing his scrambles out from under him without his knowing about it.

When you do it, don't forget to do them all - it looks like the problem exists throughout - so the 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 speedsolves, the 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 BLD, and the 2-6 and 2-7 relays.

We've gone though some weeks without competitions. :rolleyes:

After all, how many weekly competitions were there in 2007?

How do you turn so fast. I'm only at 3mps for 5x5 clock. Maybe I pause more.

2x2x2: = 19.65 5.60 13.05 5.58 15.29 = 11.31
Really inconsistent

3x3x3: 42.36 52.12 34.35 28.64 30.38 = 35.70
Dang.

4x4x4: = 1:55.36 2:26.51 3:08.51 2:43.85 2:25.47 = 2:31.94
Dang again.

5x5x5: = 3:27.87 3:49.71 3:45.78 3:37.80 4:32.57 = 3:44.43
Hoorah!

3x3x3 OH: 93.78 180.99 103.05 106.33 121.16 = 110.18

234-Relay: 2:53.34
2345-Relay:6:47.34
Wow, I surprised myself on both of these.

3x3x3: (26.08) 31.09 30.56 (31.22) 29.66 = 30.43

Easy x-cross on the first and last solves.

 

[philkt731]

Wow I love 4FMC, its so much fun. I don't know why I can't get a no parity redux though. I got 94 moves this time and it had double parity again! 31 moves on the 3x3 part beat my 3FMC for this week

 

[Mike Hughey]

For the 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 scrambles, I think I've decided to just go for them as is. I'm going to ignore all of the moves that are simply "2", and I'm going to go ahead and apply any strange moves that are there, even though they don't make sense. So if I see "B2 B2", I'll do just that and wind up with the cube the same as when I started.

Hopefully others can do the same, and at least we'll all be using the same scramble. It means the scrambles are a few moves short, but hopefully it's not too much worse using a 75 move scramble instead of an 80 move scramble.

I might try a 6x6x6 BLD tonight.

I agree that it's more fun than I thought it would be. I haven't tried this week's yet, but I hope to get to it. And Phil - I think you're doing great to get under 100 moves each week despite having parity fix included. I hope I can manage under 100 this week.

It kind of is annoying though but I agree it's fun. Even when only the three of us are doing it.

4x4x4 BLD =
DNF, DNS yet, DNS yet
Was using 3 new journeys on the first one...memo went well until middle of edges...then I forgot some cycles and gave up

Hey, 3 participants is pretty good for an event in this competition. A lot of times on some of the events, I'm the only one. I'm betting Arnaud is pleasantly surprised by how well-received 4x4x4 fewest moves is so far.

 

[*LukeMayn*]

Ok, I'm gonna do 4x4 just to prove to myself that I suck at it and ned towork on it .

3x3: (27.91), 25.36, 24.94, (24.20), 26.83 = Avg: 25.71
Done with Roux again. I haven't solved the 3x3 in awhile since I've got the V-Cubes. So I'm fine with this avg.

2x2: (4.90), 5.72, (10.38)(+2), 6.46, 6.84= 6.34
I'm bad at this puzzle...
3x3: 13.27, (17.36), 14.25, (12.36), 15.55= 14.36
Eh, too inconsistent.
4x4: 1:10.11, 1:21.96, 1:09.46, (1:00.71), (1:22.21)= 1:13.84
Ridiculously inconsistent.
5x5: (2:16.86), 2:26.97, (2:33.86), 2:27.40, 2:25.30= 2:26.56
Not too great, but I like my V-cube.
3x3 OH: (27.77), 29.52, 29.83, 27.88, (31.40)= 29.08
Alright for not practicing OH at all today.
2-4 Relay: 1:39.93
4: 1:09

Terrible on the 2 and 3...
