Weekly competition 2009-28

[AvGalen]

All current (new) scramblers from the WCA are used.

• For all 3x3x3 events (including FMC) Cube Explorer was used to generate a random position and provide an inverse scramble (generator) for that position.
• For all cubes > 3x3x3 (mediumcubes) a "w" means "Wide" so you turn not just the slice, but also the outer layer.
• For all cubes > 5x5x5 (bigcubes) normally a subscript number indicates the amount of layers to turn like a wide turn. U32 would mean to turn the the U layer and the 2 layers beneath it (3 in total) a half turn. However, this forum doesn't support subscript, so I transform the default notation to "3U2" notation which also means "turn the 3 uppermost layers a half turn".
• For Megaminx R and D are "double layer moves of the entire megaminx. The U moves are normal U moves, not "double layer" or cube rotations
• For Square1 the new notation is not entirely clear about when to perform a slice/half-turn. I adjusted the scrambles so that no slice-turns are to be performed at the beginning or the end (unless the scramble begins or ends with (0,0))
• Clock hasn't changed, but just so you know: UddU u=-1,d=5 would mean Up-Left-pin is Up, Up-Right-pin is Down, Down-Left-pin is Down, Down-Right-pin is Up and that you need to turn a corner that has its pin up rotated counterclockwise by 1 hour and that you need to turn a corner that has its pin down rotated clockwise by 5 hours
• Pyraminx small letters are for the tips

Just to make sure everyone understands: We follow the official WCA rules for all events. Here are some things that people often don't know:

• For multiple blind you can choose how many cubes you are going to do (let me know if 15 scrambles is not enough). If you choose 5 cubes you have to use the first 5 scrambles.
• For one-handed you can use both hands during inspection
• For with feet you can only use feet during inspection
• For 3x3x3 Fewest Moves there is a 1 hour time limit.
• For relay you have 15 seconds of inspection in total, you can use any order to solve the cubes and the rest of the relay-rules should be obvious

For every event you participate in you will be rewarded points. You will also be rewarded points according to your ranking. Because this is quite a complicated system you can read about it in this thread. The results of the competition will be available as soon as possible after the competition closes at the end of the thread.

If you think other events should be added to this competition you can influence that in the 2008: Other events for Weekly competition thread

This competition starts now and ends wednesday/thursday nightchange (officialy), but I will only close a competition after the new one is on-line. If a competition doesn't start at wednesday/thursday nightchange you still get the full 7 days to participate.

This solution was just sick. I had another 43 or so, but this was so beautiful I had to show it. The first block was somewhat obvious. Then, I tried a Heise approach with the pseudo 2x2x2. After that, I found out that with D' I could expand the first block. With U R' U' R F I saw that I could expand to a pseudo 2x2x3 block. Then I solved another pseudo block to it, and with the last pair I solved the F2L with 2 premoves. Then I did OLL, and luckily, I could just do F2 B2 to solve the full F2L and leave a 3-cycle. And the insertion with a cancelling move solved it all.

Just a really complicated example of just about all FMC tricks people use; Premoves, inverse scramble, insertions, blockbuilding and cancellations .

Comment: Ugh. Three bad fewest moves weeks in a row. All three looked like promising scrambles, and all three came out bad. This was my safety solve - I found this in about 15 minutes. After this I found quite a few more promising starts, both with the regular scramble and the inverse scramble, but all of them ended badly. Very disappointing. Oh well, at least I'm nowhere near last place this week.

3x3FMC: 49 moves or DNF See solution in earlier post.

It worked fine for me. I say it's 49 moves.
Maybe the others had trouble understanding your explanation, with the premoves and all? By the way, I checked the explanation out and it worked fine too.
Looks like a perfectly good solution, and especially good because it's more moves than mine.
