Yu Nakajima's Sunday Contest Average

[Crzyazn]

check cubingtechniques.com....

it's not on there, i would think something like this deserves a post like so:

"ZOMG SUB9 ACHEIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

[Lucas Garron]

Lucas Garron's 4.40 avg clearly indicates that the system is not flawless.

That was a typo. In order to halt my submission, I disabled actually disabled my internet connection and resubmitted, but apparently the 4.40 went through first and Jon never had time to notice. :rolleyes:

I don't know about his email, but when we were discussing this last night on #rubik, I noted that he (almost?) always uploads his Sunday Contest videos. I have no idea why he wouldn't film and upload it if he had any idea he'd be capable of such times that day. And he's not that sneaky about his abilities, announcing good times in such a sideways fashion.
(Also, he's been doing a lot of other puzzles lately, so it would be surprising if he made such claimed progress.)

But there's the obvious thing: Times like that just don't happen, yet.
Only two times are listed above 9.00.


I've told Jon that the Sunday Contest system needs passwords... :rolleyes:

It's fake. Nakaji never has a link to his email, and he doesn't tell people to subscribe to his youtube account, most of the time he puts cubingtechniques. So just email Jon and tell him it's a fake.

 

[Harris Chan]

Yah, the email gave it away, as well the quote--I mean, he doesn't need to ask people to subscribe, most of us are probably subscribed to him already anyway, and he's not that type.

There was one time that someone impersonated him on Macky's cbox, and started saying bad/cocky comments, and he had to personally go there to apologize saying that it's not him. You gotta hate it when someone impersonates you

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Remember when that one person impersonated you Harris?

 

[AvGalen]

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", or is it?

 

[MTGjumper]

How often does he actually compete? I suppose it makes sense (from the perspective of the hoaxer) to impersonate someone who competes quite irregularly, but are very accomplished.

This actually doesn't achieve much: the impersonator can't really obtain the prizes if that e-mail is actually fake.

 

[cpt.Justice]

Well, he could always create an e-mail account himself
Maybe he already did, but I doubt it was his aim, and I doubt they will send him stickers anyway

 

[alexc]

Maybe the guy behind this fake needed stickers

Lol, haha!

 

[Me]

When i first saw this it immediately shown in my head that he was ascending the levels of the omnicognisant cuber!!

Then i found out it was a fake.
I sense this could be the work of Kuti!
..
whoa J/k lets not go there.

 

[Yu Nakajima]

It's not me.

 

[Dene]

Good to hear!

 

[blah]

Very good to hear! I stoned for like 10 seconds before the screen staring at that average...

And then I remembered this from Macky's site's FAQ:

Q: Do you think it is possible that someone gets like 8 sec average in the future?

A: Not very likely. It's impossible with any method known. Someone needs to develop a method that allows one to find a near-optimal solution in the 15 sec of pre-inspection, that doesn't seem possible.

 

[Hadley4000]

Haha. I sent Nakajima a message on YouTube with a link to this topic, and asked him to clear it up. I feel that I have done my part

 

[pcharles93]

The impostor wouldn't have gotten the stickers anyway because the address would most likely be just a bit off. By just a bit, I mean like in Wisconsin instead of Hokkaido.

you are an idiot.

 

[MTGjumper]

You are an idiot.

Is that due to the Kuti comment?

 

[Zava]

You are an idiot.

Is that due to the Kuti comment?

yes.

 

[MistArts]

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)

It could been the owner of the Sunday Contest trying to freak people out...

 

[Tyson]

You are an idiot.

Is that due to the Kuti comment?

yes.

Why?
