Weekly competition 2009-49

[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.

3x3BLD:
1:38.05, DNF(1:50.63), DNF(2:13.48) = 1:38.05
First scramble was really easy, as was the second. #2 was off by 3 cycle of corners, and #3 was off by 3 twisted corners.
5x5: 1:43.96, 1:31.34, 1:31.40, 1:48.29, 1:36.64 = 1:37.33

Damn! That first scramble was really easy, but I slammed down the cube early without flipping UB/UF, because I knew it was a really good time for me. I'm finding memorization much easier alternating through my routes, instead of just reusing the same one.

3x3x3 MultiBLD: 0/2 14:53.17
I totally messed up the first cube, and I forgot the corner permutation on the second cube.

Time: 3:08.90 (oll skip on 2x2, nice 4x4 (234 here was faster than 234 in 234 event ^^))

3x3 - 17.95, (19.58), 18.43, 18.33, (16.83) = 18.24
happy with this considering it's pretty much the only time I've had to cube this week, uni deadlines are taking up all my time!

4x4 1:40.63, (1:37.09), 1:41.05, 1:38.00, (1:42.71) = 1:39.89
awful, really bad.. maybe next week I'll be more awake!

3x3OH: (21.75); 25.27 ; 22.70 ; 22.86 ; (29.42) = 23.61 - ... Last solve was totally failed..

3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 42 moves

Scramble: U2 F2 L U2 L2 F2 L' B2 D2 F2 U' B2 L F2 U B U L2 D U' F'

NISS:
2x2x3: D2 F2 L' U F L2 B2 D2 F' D2 R' D'
switch to inverse scramble (apply inverse of 2x2x3 moves before applying inverse scramble)
3x cross: D B' D' R
switch to regular scramble (apply inverse of 3x cross moves before applying regular scramble)
4th pair: U' B2 U B U' B' U
switch to inverse scramble (apply inverse of 4th pair followed by inverse of 2x2x3 moves before applying inverse scramble)
OLL: L U R' U R' F R F' . R U2 L'
insert at .: U' B' U F U' B U F'

Comment: Okay, so it's a bad result, but it was cool to get through a NISS solve! It's really hard to write the explanation for one of these up, though. I don't think I'm very good at this because I'm so slow - too much rescrambling necessary, and I'm too slow for that. (As it was, I didn't have time to look for a good insertion.) So I'm not sure if I'll keep using it. But it is fun to watch it actually work!

This probably makes me the worst NISS solver in the world.
