Weekly competition 2009-24

What is WO? And what are these algs that you can do in less than 1 second?
What is your last layer? Is it the wide end or the narrow end? I do the narrow end as my LL.
I do
1. solve corner-edge-corner.
2. solve another corner and insert its 2 edges to make a layer.
3. finish LL with 1 alg.
I'm thinking about expanding step 2. One way is to insert the edges wrong and generate the algs that fixes the 2 edges and LL. The other is to solve LL while inserting last edge. I don't know which has shorter algs or better recognition or if it's even worth doing something so complicated. Right now I can average around 9 seconds with best average at 7.5 using my basic method.
 
Notice that all of these are in the order the scrambles are given :P

2x2: 4.43, 3.97, 3.30, 3.02, 3.68 = 3.65
uhh 3 forced OLL skips I think. Pretty easy solves.
3x3: 9.88, 11.97, 13.21, 12.83, 12.90 = 12.57
9.88 was PLL skip. These were just fantastic solves.
4x4: 59.41 OP, 59.75 P, 56.40 P, 1:02.08, 57.63 = 58.93
Pretty good.
5x5: 1:54.02, 1:59.22, 1:57.81, 2:04.34, 2:01.44 = 1:59.49
Practiced a bit.
6x6: 4:31.03, 4:31.66, 4:49.93, 4:27.00, 4:34.41 = 4:32.37
It's nice having a 6x6 again.
2x2BLD: DNF, 21.81, 30.52+ = 21.81
Still SpeedBLDing..
3x3BLD: DNF (3:10.75), 3:33.09, 2:43.08 = 2:43.08
I was surprised by this, given how little I have practiced lately.
4x4BLD: DNF, DNS, DNS = DNF
Let's just say, it was not worth it to count the number of pieces I had solved at the end.
3x3MBF: 2/2 (17:43.39) = 2 points
FINALLY :D:D:D:D
3x3OH: 29.86, 27.78, 32.38, 28.68, 40.84 = 30.31
MiniDS ftw.
3x3WF: 2:10.55, 2:02.40, 1:50.47, 2:00.43, 1:44.22 = 1:57.77
Sub-2 :D
3x3MTS: 1:16.03, 1:22.96, 1:19.38, 1:17.38, 1:04.09 = 1:17.60
Not bad.
3x3FMC: DNF
After about 45 minutes of searching and no good starts, I just gave up.
2-4: 1:24.88 OP
Darn OP.
2-5: 3:26.88
Good.
Magic: 1.58 1.52 1.52 1.53 1.46 = 1.52
I should have waited a few solves to start counting them for the contest, the next three were 1.42, 1.43, 1.40
MMagic: 4.00, 4.03, 4.02, 3.93, 3.91 = 3.98
Really consistent.
clock: 8.50, 7.68, 7.93, 7.97, 8.33 = 8.08
Meh.
minx: 2:28.77, 2:22.69, 2:30.44, 2:10.25, 2:16.30 = 2:22.59
Average.
pyra: 10.00, 8.58, 8.94, 13.27, 9.36 = 9.43
D: at the tips this week. Really threw me.
sq1: 19.03, 15.91, 29.35, 21.22, 20.69 = 20.29
Pretty good, since I think there were 3 parities.

I used regular F2L on all solves and had many G-Perms that I did really slowly or even messed up. G-Perms + Parity on 4x4x4 are horrible :(

Well... you can expand to do a V instead of I as first step, then you can choose if you want 2 flip or "sune" as LL-case (sometmes skip ^^) when inserting the last edge, then you don't need to know the "sune"+2flip alg :p

Well, WO is just a homemade method where you only think about to make the top... and then do LL with something similiar to OLL and PLL on 3x3x3... (you can't learn CLL ... there are too many ^^) combining this with some other methods, you provoke OELL skips... well the last algs are just 2flip, 3cycle+/- orientation... I start with the narrow end :p well, it's hard explain my method as I remember situations and not algs :/
 
2x2x2 : 9.81, (10.97), 9.55, 7.34, (5.36) = 8.90

3x3x3 : 30.63, (23.25), 26.25, (33.52), 27.80 = 28.23

4x4x4 : 2:19.52, (2:10.75), 2:11.94, (2:31.05), 2:30.25 = 2:20.57

2x2x2 BLD : DNF, DNF, DNF= DNF
went too fast

3x3x3 BLD : DNF, 4:11.78, DNF = 4:11.78


I also did 5x5 and sq-1 but lost the results.

Did you also use regular F2L on MTS?

Heh, just noticed that you got sub-minute on the same scramble as mine. I didn't really think it was lucky or easy though.
Click to expand...
Nope, I use a mixture between beginners F2L and random stuff for the last layer (very much depending on the case I get). There were a couple of easy crosses on these scrambles and I was extra motivated to do well on MTS to compensate for all the bad regular cubes.
On the first cube I found a way to do cross + 2 corners during inspection
 
Results week 24

This week we got an all time high result for the winner!

Partly David had excellent results, partly this depends on the great number
of participants and that so many people compete in many events.
(The number of total points increase approximately quadratically with the
number of starts in each event).

I see that your 2x2x2 is beating mine at the moment! (I really must practice more)

I'd like to swap your 4x4x4 speed for my 5x5x5 - I think that'd be fair :)

Seems I am better at even cubes :), ...but you beat me at 3x3, 5x5 and both relays.
So you win, but I am improving. Don't be to sure at 3x3, I did 47+ this week! PB with 4 secs!

Yes, my mind doesn't work well with parity conditions and movable centres! I fear your 3x3x3 improvements :) I got quite lucky in the comp with below average times.
 
You missed my 1.29 for magic.
I'm surprised that it is so competitive this week! I had my all time high of 145 not including magic and it's still not top 10. I did every event that I could except match the scramble. I'm surprised at my poor ranking in pyraminx and 2x2 BLD; I thought I had a good week too. This week, I didn't warm up for OH, missed a perfect opportunity to be #2.

Sorry! It is because the program did not accept "Magic" because of the "Rubick's" before "Magic". I'll see if I can fix that. I have corrected your result. Now you are # 10 :)
