Weekly competition 2009-13

[byu]

I went ahead and added everything above except 4x4x4 fewest moves. Mats made me feel guilty about multi, so I decided to do a quick one. 5 cubes seems so easy when you're used to doing 10. Maybe I should have just done 5 at Ohio, huh?

Maybe. I was so confident that I was going to do the most events this week, I was doing 13, I think. Then you show up and do around 20! Maybe I should get a 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7.

I think you should! For me, bigger cubes are just so much more fun!

I might get a 5x5, but I'm only going to get a 5x5 once I finally solve a 4x4 blindfolded for the first time. That's my rule. (and I won't get a 6x6 until I solve a 5x5 blindfolded for the first time)

I think that's a great rule! Hopefully that means you'll own a 7x7x7 in a few months, right?

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Where's weekly no. 14? I planned on doing a lot today, but it'll have to wait to... Tomorrow?

 

[MatsBergsten]

Yes, feeling the same. With nothing else to do I start with the results of this week, so if any one of you are adding some results, make a new post instead of editing an old. (If you do that send me a message or I might miss it)

My pc with the weekly competition programs is broken. I have restored them from a backup and will generate everything now

It's been nearly 1/2 an hour, maybe AvGalen is having trouble with the scramble generation software.

Cube Explorer wasn't in the backup. Downloading it is easy, but regenerating the pruning tables takes a while on an old laptop.

Also, I have reviewed which events to delete by looking at the number of competitors from the last weeks (7 to 12). Events with < 4 * 6 competitors will be cancelled
2x2x2 Blindfolded; 6,6,10,8,11,11
3x3x3 Match the scramble; 2,5,4,6,5,7
4x4x4 Fewest Moves; 3,0,2,1,2,2
2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 Relay; 5,14,12,11,15,14
2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 + 5x5x5 Relay; 5,8,8,8,9,11
2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 + 5x5x5 + 6x6x6 Relay; 3,3,1,2,1,5
2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 + 5x5x5 + 6x6x6 + 7x7x7 Relay; 2,2,0,2,1,5
Snake; 2,4,4,3,4,3

NO! 4x4 FMC is gone....

 

[jcuber]

When more people have v-cubes the two largest relays should be re-instated.

 

[cookingfat]

Snake has gone? NO!

I was unbeaten too.

 

[AvGalen]

Only the 5 real solves
2x2x2: 6.41 7.21 7.72 6.69 6.71 = 6.87
3x3x3: 19.00 25.81 24.25 25.91 23.91 = 24.66
4x4x4: 1:14.30 1:37.19 1:25.93 1:35.83 1:13.27 = 1:25.35
5x5x5: 2:24.72 2:14.27 2:04.71 2:19.09 2:24.11 = 2:19.16
6x6x6: 4:06.97 4:15.78 4:34.59 6:19.61 4:42.02 = 4:30.80
7x7x7: 6:59.56 7:18.55 7:05.34 6:58.90 7:04.15 = 7:03.02
2x2x2_bf: 57.25 DNF DNF = 57.25
3x3x3_bf: DNF DNS DNS = DNF
3x3x3_oh: 38.03 46.93 43.44 31.38 37.56 = 39.68
3x3x3_match: 1:04.58 1:06.66 1:08.34 1:15.69 1:21.19 = 1:10.23
333_FMC: DNF
Inverse scramble (horrible): R U2 L2 B L' F U F2 B2 R L2 U2 F2 U L2 B2 U' B2 D2 R2 D'
Premove U'
L2 B L2 B2
L2 D' L F'
D F2 L U2 L' U2 L
F U L' F2 L
F2 leaves a 3-cycle of corners and a 3-cycle of edges.
I had 30 minutes left, but never used them to find the insertion(s)
234-Relay: 2:16.80
2345-Relay: 4:15.90
23456-Relay: 8:38.86
234567-Relay: 15:29.80
Magic: 1.65 2.21 1.97 2.86 1.65 = 1.94
Master Magic: 5.83 5.18 6.27 5.91 7.21 = 6.00
Clock: 15.18 18.13 15.53 16.41 15.55 = 15.83
MegaMinx: 3:22.50 3:32.50 3:11.83 4:04.06 3:41.86 = 3:32.29
PyraMinx: 15.06 14.69 8.02 17.94 9.50 = 13.08
Square-1: 57.11 1:08.06 49.16 1:07.80 58.09 = 1:01.00

Didn't have/make time do finish 3_BF and 3_FMC. MegaMinx in the dark is still horrible. And a new (stiff, but non-popping 6x6x6 makes a lot of difference)

 

[Ellis]

big relays gone? nooo

 

[jcuber]

AVG, look at your 6x6 times/average.

 

[Edmund]
