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 25 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.

FMC: 29 moves

D2 B' F U' F' R2 F U' R B' R B R' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 F' U2 R B R' U' B' L U2

D2 B' F U' F' R2 [2x2x2+pair]
F U' F' [Pseudo 2x2x3]

Switch to inverse:
U2 L' [2x2x3+pair]
B U R B' R' [Leaving 4C3E]
U2 F R2 B' R' B R' F' [Leaving 3C]

Which gives this skeleton:
D2 B' F U' F' R2 F U' R B' R B R2.F' U2 R B R' U' B' L U2

Insert at dot: R U R' D2 R U' R' D2 (One move cancel)

At least sub-30 again.
 
3x3: 16.22, 15.16, (24.55), (13.10), 18.03 ==>> 16.47
4x4: 1:55.05, 2:07.31, (2:11.29), (1:52.79), 2:06.81 ==>>2:03.06
7x7: (8:35.44), 9:24.33, 8:35.61, (9:36.81), 8:40.23 ==>> 8:53.39

100th post :) also full step personal best on solve 4 for the 3x3.

2x2: 4.60, 7.68, 5.65, (4.01), (5.89) => 5.38
CMLL. I tried ortega on the second solve, though, and failed. The 4.01 was Guimond method.
3x3: 14.09, 14.68, (15.47), 14.19, (13.27) => 14.32
Pretty consistent for me, but sadly, no sub-13s and only one sub-14 :(
But I'm satisfied.
3x3 fewest moves : 39 HTM/ 34 STM- my PB!
Roux block: F R D2 F' L' F -- 6 moves total
x2 z'
Second block (non matching) and corner control: M' U' r U' r U2 r U' R' -- 15 moves total
CMLL and influencing LSE- solving L/R edges: U' r U R' U R U2 r' -- 23 moves total
Commutator to finish off: U2 M U' M' D2 M U M' D2 U' R' -- 34 moves total
34 moves STM! My PB!

without funny text so you can put it in alg.garron.us
F R D2 F' L' F
x2 z'
M' U' r U' r U2 r U' R'
U' r U R' U R U2 r'
U2 M U' M' D2 M U M' D2 U' R'
Without rotations...
F R D2 F' L' F E' R' u R' u R2 u R' U' R' u R U' R U R2 u' R2 E R' E' L2 E R E' L2 R' U'
and counting HTM... 39 HTM.
I'm really happy with this solution. I know most of you wouldn't be, but since I rarely do FMC, and I use Roux, I'm proud of it. The commutator thingy at the end was cool as well... And also the quarter-turn non-matching blocks.

(actually i edited this post, but when i tried to save the changes, there was an error in connection, so i lost the times for my 3x3x3 OH. i can't remember the times nor the average, i just know it was roughly 47 secs for average 5 :( )

FMC: 28 HTM

Quite stupid solution I found in about 10 mins.
2x2x2: F D2 B' U' R2
Siamese 2x2x3: U' B F' L F
3rd pair: U2 L' U L U' L' U' L
4rd pair and skip: U R' U2 R U B' R B R' U2
 
2x2: 4.88
4.63, 4.70, 8.21, 5.31, 1.73
My hands are cold.
4x4: 1:17.42
1:25.90, 1:16.56, 1:18.07, 1:07.13, 1:17.64
Bad but its my warm up for race to sub 1.
FMC: 54
Scramble: U2 B' U' B' D B' U L B D' B F' L B R2 B' U2 R'

2x2: x F U' B2 F' U F2 (6)

2x3: z2 x' R F R' F R U' F2 U2 F' (15)

F2L finish:R' F' U2 F R' U' B U2 B' U'F' U2 F U' F' U F (32)

OLL: y' r U R' U' r' R U R U' R' (42)

PLL: R2' u' R U' R U R' u R2 B U' B' (54)

First ever sub 60!

kinda have lost interest, but that happened along time ago

3x3 avg- 19.48
(15.75), 18.25, 19.44, 20.20, (23.75)

2x2 avg- 4.89
5.67, 4.38, (5.88), 4.64, (2.32)
much better than i was expecting it would be

fmc: 26

solution: L2 R2 U' L D2 L' U2 L D2 L' R' U' R2 B2 R' B' L' D U2 R2 U' D' B' D' F R' (26)

On inverse scramble
pre-scramble moves [R2 L2]
all but 3 corners: R F' D B D U R2 U2 D' L B R B2 R2 U R @ U' (17+2)
pre-move correction: R2 L2
at @ insert L2 D2 L' U2 L D2 L' U2
NB after 8 moves I decided to do pre-moves R2 L2

welcome back Stini!
Tomoaki, congratz with your 1st place at FMC at Japan Open and your wonderful 20-move solution at Per's FMC #356!
