WR Fewest Moves

As far as we know, it's now possible that someone may attempt an official event without any chance of breaking the WR on that attempt.
(Upper bound on God's number is 22.)

Careful, Lucas. The *proven* upper bound on God's number is 22, but almost every cube theorist agrees that God's number is 20, even though it hasn't been proven yet.

Exactly. It's not proven whether there is/isn't, but there may be a 22. And if there is one, it might be generated for FMC, and no one can break the WR on it. (But who cares about that FMC round? We have God's number!)

Compare that to any scramble for a speedsolve, where it is theoretically possible to set a WR with (unrealistically high) TPS.
 
I don't believe a 22 exists, or even a 21. The only reason the proof is currently at 22 is because so far they've only been able to check the cosets that might have a position requiring 23+ moves. There "may" be a 22f* in the same sense that the Goldbach Conjecture "may" be false.
 
22 MOVES !?!?!?!?!?!

I haven't got a LL skip in my life, and now someone gets it again at a FMC.

Ah, that. Been dreaming of proving it ever since I've known about it :p Well actually, I wanted to prove FLT first, but Wiles came along and shattered my dream :( So this became my new dream, and I'm still dreaming :rolleyes:

On a side note, there is this event called multiBLD ;) if you don't even have enough cubes to start with, then there's a zero probability of you breaking the WR :)

Oha! Indeed!
I suppose I could argue that it's still possible to enter the event and break the WR, but I suppose it's still 0 probability during the attempt.

Interestingly, in that case, you know you can't break the WR, in contrast to the FMC situation that you don't know whether you can break the WR.
 
When I heard about this record I got pissed. My second thought was of the same nature as Lucas and qq are discussing. My third thought was that there might have been 1000 attempts on fewest in comp. And everyone tries about 15 LL's, so it hade to come some time. :P

I don't like that the WR is lucky, but I do like that Jimmy got it and not some random noob. :P

getting lucky is not a crime
