I will launch a new challenge tonight :) Dan :) ... From: fewestmoveschallenge@yahoogroups.com [mailto:fewestmoveschallenge@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Per...
Hi :-) Yes i know that. But mine will be for purely classical fewest moves and i will use ranking similarly to what Dan has done in the past. My system would...
Hi Per, My system can support automatic solution verification, integration of Charles' FMC companion, etc.. without any change to the core system code. And...
Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to redesign my pages, but it's going pretty slowly. Firstly I don't have a lot of spare time, and while I am redesigning I am...
Hi everyone, A brand new FMC, #106, will open at midnight tonight. I am currently working on redesigning my web pages, so currently the FMC page is just the...
Hi everyone, The results for the FMC#106 are now available from the new FMC Pages. just go to http://www.cubestation.co.uk/cs2/index.php?page=fmc/fmc and...
Oh, I forgot to submit, I had a solution in 30 seconds. I couldn't find time for more, and I would have needed months to find something good. Per's just too...
Hi Dan, hi all ! FMC comes to life again, cooool :D ! I skipped #106, but have already found something quite neat for #107, be prepared... Just a little ...
Woow! 34 stm in 30 secs is amazing! If u are just open to many different approaches and have a feel for what is leading anywhere i don't see why u shouldn't...
... You know, it's the "F2RF'R'D'F'U'FDF'U" I have problems with. You seem to consider it's easy and intuitive, but I can't find a good strategy. On this case...
Hi Guys :-) For this weeks fmc (#107) there is a fairly easy 6-move 2x2x3 block. Who of u guys will find it? The scramble is not too hard. I hope that lots...
... On this occasion, I solved the 5 edges first, then 2 corners with a basic corner commutator. This is my fallback strategy if I don't see a shorter...
Hi everyone, The results of FMC#107 are out, and it was a very high standard of entries that I received over the week! 14 participants this week, so thank you...
Hey - just did my first FMC (#108) - have spent some time trying to improve. I wanted to let you guys know (if you didn't already) that the FMC cube companion...
Dan, I also found out that it does not work with firefox. One of the few times that I have to use IE. Have you tried the IE tab for firefox? Also, did anyone...
So here's a question that I couldn't find answered anywhere. What's the policy on using aids / tables / charts? For example, at one point I had gotten it down...
No in both cases. You shouldn't use anything you couldn't do in a competition with a few cubes and basic office supplies. Yeah, it's very easy to cheat. That's...
Thanks for the clarification. Using Cube Explorer seemed to me a bit sketchy, which is why I brought it up, but I wasn't sure where the line was. Your...
Hi :-) U are of course allowed to spend time constructing that PLL step on ur own, if u know how to do that. U wouldn't need to know that PLL case off the top...

HI The policy is that you are not allowed to look up algorithms specifically for the purpose of FMC. If you can, imagine that you are in a real WCA competition...
Thanks Cyril. I had actually just read that the other night. I'm not sure if I'm just slow :-) or if I'm missing some of the building blocks to even be able...
... A real WCA competition is very different. You have LIMITED TIME! Who's the worst cheater, a cuber who has a few tables or a cuber who can spend 30 hours...
Hi :-) If i spend 100 hrs on a fmc challenge it's not cheating! Stupidity yes :-P Looking up some alg that i don't know is cheating (unless i can construct it...
A limited time as the WCA format would be a good thing. 1 hour is long enough to try a few solutions with a good start. Spending more time makes you find...
