Weekly competition 2009-47

[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.

Would have been a good average if not for the counting sup-2:30. Also the fastest would have been sub-2 if I didn't have an E perm!

5x5x5: DNF, 6:30.90, DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
I stopped the first solve because the cube was literally falling apart. It was too annoying to turn so I stopped after the second solve. I need to get a V5.

2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 Relay: 2:53.11
Pretty average relay for me. Was probably a 2:00-40-13 breakdown. At least it was sub-3.

5x5x5_bld: DNF DNF 14:58.88
comment: my accuracy has not been very good lately. I haven't been practicing as much as I should, which is I think why :s Still trying for my first ever sub-10

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

How fast and close were the DNFs? That's important too!

 

[Mike Hughey]

How fast and close were the DNFs? That's important too!

Chris doesn't think so. He points out that a DNF is a DNF in competition, and he doesn't want to think of it as anything else at home, since that's the way it works in competition.

As you can tell, I take a different perspective. I totally understand and respect Chris's perspective, though. As I've said before, I just hope he doesn't think less of me because I like to report and keep track of those things.

I really wonder what Chris's fastest DNFs are sometimes.

I really wonder what Chris's fastest DNFs are sometimes.

Yes it is true that I try as much as possible not to track how close or how fast my DNFs are. I feel like I must come across somewhat arrogant by doing this, but it's actually at the advice of John Louis and Bernett Orlando. They both recommended to practice always in such a way as to match the conditions of competition as closely as possible. Since DNFs are not analyzed in competition, I also do the same at home. I totally respect Mike and others for tracking this information for their own solves, but I choose not to do it for my own.

Maarten, to answer your question a bit though my DNFs this week were both extremely close, but not particularly fast for me. I did analyze them afterward to figure out what went wrong, so Mike your good habits are rubbing off onto me
