Weekly competition 2011-22

[Mike Hughey]

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) a number before the letter indicates the amount of layers to turn like a wide turn. "3U2" would mean "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 official scrambler is being used. This means that a slice turn should be applied after every move. If there is a (0,0) at the end, that means there were 41 moves so far, so you do a second slice move, to cancel out the first one. That should result in effectively 40 moves per scramble.
• 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
• Skewb scrambles are generated using Bryan Logan's scrambler, and follow this rule: With the front facing you, turn the cube a 1/8 turn to the left. The edge of the middle square on top should now be parallel to you. The top square will stay stationary. Turn the edges appropriately around this square.

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 20 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 Friday/Saturday nightchange GMT (officialy), but I will only close a competition after the new one is on-line. If a competition doesn't start at Friday/Saturday nightchange you still get the full 7 days to participate.

comment: Hardly solved my 6x6 or 7x7 since getting them two months ago on account of them needing breaking in ... badly. However not much point having puzzles if I am not solving them so the weekly is a good motivation. I will endeavor to solve each at least once a day and do these weeklies. Solve 3 is a pb. The average if a pb by default as my 1st average of 5 on 6x6. By the time I got to solve 5 my hands were aching. Feel free to laugh hysterically at the times

2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 Relay: 3:38.97
comment: Was at 26secs after 2 and 3, really good for me, had 3 pops on 4x4 and had to correct a corner at OLL because of one of the pops. Rubbish!

2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 + 5x5x5 Relay: 8:24.98
comment: Even more shocking than last week!

Magic: 3.75, 3.07, 3.47, 3.09, DNF(8.37) = 3.44
comment: Another new event for me, unfortunately the DNF was one badly mangled magic! Note to self: Practice slowly in a new event prior to trying to go like the clappers for a weekly! Oh well have the first item on the list for my next Lightake order!!

Nice to see you back, Attila, care to explain how you come up with these LSE solution?

3x3: 11.39, 11.78, 12.33, 10.89, 12.10 = 11.76

OH: 14.13, 17.66, 16.99, 17.26, 15.39 = 16.55
