Yu Nakajima's Sunday Contest Average

[MTGjumper]

The results speak for themselves (obviously look at the first placing )- http://www.nascarjon.us/sunday.php

07.89, 07.57, 08.12, 07.16, 09.80, 08.23, 08.54, (10.02), 07.45, 07.96, 08.86, (07.03) = 8.16

I wouldn't expect Nakajima to cheat, but that average is almost too incredible to believe! His average is fastest than his official world record: if only it was in a real competition... I find it amazing that his slowest time was almost sub-10.

Aside: I came 31st =D

Edit: yeah, I forgot to mention that this could be an imposter just posting fake times. That thought had run through my head, but I just forgot to post it.

 

[Gprano]

I don't think he would lie, but anybody can enter his name with stupid times...

 

[Guoguodi]

Is this a joke or simply a fake impersonation? Looks too good to be real ... also, I don't think "[email protected]" is his real email address. The one he uses is on his cubing site.

(I'll eat my words if this turns out to be real)

 

[ccchips296]

i reckon this is almost certainly just some wiseguy doing a fake average in Nakaji's name...Nakaji's good but not THAT good

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Yeah... Consistent times that low are really questionable...

5 sub-8 times?

 

[cpt.Justice]

It makes sense that some idiot entered his name, 'cos if he really did get those times he would have posted it on Youtube ages ago! Unless he wanted to keep it secret until the results were released :S

Yeah. You're right about that. He would've posted those times if he was getting them, and let's face it, you don't go from +- 10 avg to 8 avg overnight.

 

[Inusagi]

But who would waste his time to do this? I agree that those times are impossible, but I also wonder who could do something like this. The person who did this can't get anything out of this...

 

[cpt.Justice]

Except some minor lulz when he reads this thread!

The main suspect will of course be MTGjumper, since he started the thread (j/k)

Those times are most certainly not impossible, just really, REALLY unlikely.

But i see this sort of thing rather often, especially on cubemania. People that claim to do 3x3x3 BLD in 3 seconds and that sort of thing.

 

[Gprano]

Maybe the guy behind this fake needed stickers

 

[cpt.Justice]

Too bad this will affect Nakaji's stats on suncon, maybe they should start with a user-system?

It's really a bad development in the cubing society, people cheating and what not... We used to follow the honor system people!

 

[AvGalen]

I just tried the scrambles from that competition and got exactly the same times for the first 11 solves. The last one was a 7.02.

I am not kidding.
This is serious.
Really, I have gotten this good.
REALLY
Now worship me!

 

[Hadley4000]

I saw the results a few minutes before I read this thread. I must say, it does seem rather fishy.

On one hand, it is possible that he was just %10000000000 in the zone.

The email address isn't right I don't think though. Also, why on Earth would Nakajima lie?


I wish he would come post in here...

 

[joey]

He does post here occasionally.

 

[CAT13]

It either A: was an imposter (chances 99.99%)
B: He really did get those times (chances 00.01%)
C: He cheated (chances 00.00% because he would win even if he didn't cheat)

 

[ryo]

You forgot one possibility :
D : was an imposter and he really did get those times.

 

[cpt.Justice]

I lol'd
There is also the possibility that its all an error by nascar jon, I remember Lucas Garron getting 4.40 avg last week

That was just because the 1 at the beginning was left off. "Nakajima's" times all added up to the avg posted.

 

[cpt.Justice]

You fail to see my point...
If we are listing all possible explanations, we can't ignore the possibility that its all caused by something on the website. Lucas Garron's 4.40 avg clearly indicates that the system is not flawless.
