What puzzle do you think the WCA should add next?

[Deleted member 19792]

Perhaps not new puzzles, but new timing methods.
Instead of just average of 5 in 3x3, we can also have best of (n), mean of (n), avg of 12s and so on. Same for 2x2 and other puzzles.

You can choose to do that with some events.. If you had a head to head in 3x3, it is a best of one. Meaning your first solve counts.

How about the newly mass-produced puzzles such as the Ghost cube ore Mixup cubes

I definitely agree with having ao12s, but only with shorter events like 2x2, 3x3, pyraminx and skewb.
But i think that they would be seperate from the specific ao5 events, and then just have less rounsa for comps.

Do you realize how long an Ao12 would take? Especially for 3x3 where you have sometimes 40+ competitors, that would be COMPLETELY ridiculous and take forever.

I really wanted someone to say OH Skewb. I just tried it and I think I'm going to start a foundation for protecting tables from getting raped.

I did some OH skewb when my wrist was broken. You can start a foundation, but please don't include skewb. It's sooo much easier to do OH skewb with the table.

What puzzle should the WCA add next?

23.78 OH skewb ao5, 18.33 single
Would be easy sub 5 2h lmao
I will get this sub 10

 

[maps600]

I'd say the gigaminx

 

[~Adam~]

I'd say the gigaminx

Expensive and take more than twice as long to solve as a 7x7.

In hand, It's basically impossible for me. Do you lift the skewb at all other then rotations?

Yeah, but events like multiBLD, 6x6 and 7x7 take long too. Most competitions dont have those events so the ao12 could just be optional. It would mostly just be the big and long comps that could do it.

Yeah, but events like multiBLD, 6x6 and 7x7 take long too.

"We already have events that take a long time, so why not add even more?"

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

I don't think that we should add any new events, but I'll put my opinion in anyway for what I would add. I've seen multi 2BLD being mentioned, but I think with far too large time limits. I would have a very short time limit to make it a very different event and to reduce the hardware issue. 1 minute sound good? I'm genuinely a little curious about what could be achieved (but only a little bit).

I would say 10 is the upper limit

 

[~Adam~]

How about stackmatted 2x2 MBLD? 10 min limit.

 

[JakeTheCuber]

A little interesting here.
OH 2x one cube in each hand.
Also possibly only U face turns, the cube would stay on the table when the U face is turning. This making it harder for people to execute algs. Just an Idea

This thread is so silly...

This thread is so silly...

I reported it a few days ago to get it closed but I guess it was deemed... constructive? I don't see how it could be but at least I tried.

 

[Carrot]

are you serious...?

yes we are serious
