WR Fewest Moves

[guusrs]

Hi Guys,

I tried the scramble and found nothing "special" to it.
The results of the other competitors tell the same story.
Jimmy's solution was really unique.

I found a nice 29-mover myself:
2X2X3+preparation: L B' D B2 R F R D' R2 D' F U' D' (13)
all but 3 corners: B R B' U R' U' R2 U R2 U' (23)
at beginning insert commutator U' L D2 L' U L D2 L', 2 moves cancel.

Gus

Congrats, Jimmy! How did you feel at the moment you found it and realized its length?

He literally jumped a couple of times and shouted:

- YES YES YES YES.

Then we all moved our heads toward him, excited (I was next to him and I was a bit scared at first LOL) and he apologized:

- Oh... sorry sorry...

He moved back to the seat and tried the solution again under the table:

- YES YES YES YES.

Then we realized something HUGE was coming...

It was really really funny. Furthermore all this happened between the music a kind of chorus was singing in the room close to the one we were using... hahahaha.

Congrats Jimmy! You're great!

I was trying to imagine what it would have been like to find a solution like that. I think I would have behaved the same - it would be sooooo hard to contain yourself after finding something like that!

Congrats, Jimmy!

That was totally unexpected. I was literally breathless. FMC had always been one of my favorite events. I was hoping to train a lot during the summer and make sure that I can definitely beat AsR and possibly tie WR if I'm very lucky; but even with quite a bit of luck, I can't see myself getting sub-25.
Greatest cubing accomplishment of the decade until someone get a sub-7s nonlucky single or sub-4s lucky single or sub-8 average in 3x3 speed. I really expected Mirek, Per, or Guus to break it. Now, the reign of the 1st generation cubists is finally completely over. Every record now belongs to the post-80's new cubists.
Definitely the most shocking WR breaker ever!
You better learn COLL! I'm disappointed that is not the ending.

I don't know whether I should just quit cubing, or do 1000 solves. Perhaps I should only learn HTM optimal ZBLL algs just for FMC. I've gotten quite a few 28 move solutions recently, but 22 is just too amazing.

my solution: 29 moves

Premoves: F2L
Scramble: (U L2 U' R2 B2 U L2 D2 R2 F2 R2 F L F' D2 L' U B' D R2 F')
Blocks: UL'D2L)
More blocks: F'DR'
Insertion: (RFR'BRF'R'B')
Finish: FRD'RDR'D'BRB'D'RDR)

It was a pretty easy solution. I believe I found the skeleton in less than 1/2 hour.

Sorry, I'm posting a long time after the last post (in Brazil we call it excavate or "Ressuscitar o Tópico"), but was you trying to get an OLL skip, and the PLL came lucky?

Aha, I finally see this thread after more than one year

If you see the pair, it's pretty obviously the "normal" F2L alg for that case.

So no, it's just an LL skip.

 

[Marco Aurelio]

So, you saw that will come an OLL skip, then didn't do nothing, only waited for the skip and get surprised by it was a LL skip?
