Hi, guys, sorry for the delay. It seems that we both (I and Per and maybe somebody else too) invented the same technique. I was using it when solving cube...
Ouch! With Per's FMC 63 improved solution (from 28 to 24 moves) and now your 25-move solution I think that I should get only 20-move solutions from now on, so...
Hi :-) If Mirek started using stickers as an insertion technique already back in 1981, then i think he has beaten me by a year or two :-) I used that technique...
Hello, I could see much better usage of such a program if it were extended to handle 4x4x4 cube. Before CubeExplorer and similar programs appeared, many 3x3x3 ...
Hi Josef! Yes it's a good idea to create an alg-inserting program that also could work for larger cubes (revenge + professor). Corners would of course work the...
Hmm ... There is also a move missing in my quote about the 17 move f2l finding. The missing move is F as most of u see if u try it out ;-) Cheers! -Per...
Hi :-) Many Congratulations to Mirek Goljan who set a new official world record in fewest moves during Caltech Winter Tournament. He solved the scramble in 28...
Hi, all! I have to say that I really wanted to see Macky solving the cube in 13 to 15 seconds. This was probably the main reason I couldn't miss the...
Sebastian, recently, you became an expert in FMC (by definition). You made a huge leap. Now we need a new term for those who solved the cube in 21 moves and...
Thanks for that! My most recent goal is to stay under 30 moves, and I think that it would take very much time to be able to have an expert solution every week....
Hi! I'm not so sure that we need another category/term quite yet. We have only have 2 21's. It could become too exclusive to add another category. If most ppl...
Hey Mirek! Just out of curiosity... It is not allowed in fewest moves competititons to use stickers. How do u keep track of the corners when u look for...
Hey Mirek, Lars, everyone. Congratulations on your fantastic FMC World Record Mirek, I feel especially proud that FMC is taking more and more prominence in...
Hi! My guess is that basically there are 4 potential reasons for this: 1) They wanted to keep rules simple. 2) Nobody in WCA, or at least those who shaped the...
Hey! Here is my solution to the caltech scramble. I spent about 20 minutes coming up with this one. Scramble was: L D2 B U2 (F' R' L')*4 R2 U F2 L2(B R' D)*4 L...
Sorry for being late here. I'm not at home yet. Here are some important facts: I've never heard that putting stickers on my cube when doing FMC was not...
Hey everyone, The results to the 3rd speed FMC are now online! Firstly, I received a lot of blank submissions this week. I hope that there were not any...
Hey! ... that there ... and feel ... me! ... and I ... word. What ... solution ... you have ... Hmm ... What u say now does not seem to make sense. From what u...
Hi Per, Yes, I think you misunderstand me... It is supposed to be exactly like the European Championships, where we were allowed as many attempts at finding a...
Hello FMCers, First I'll ask Dan (he's most likely to know, but of course others might remember too) if it ever occured that two identical solutions were...
Sebastian, as I know this coincidence never happened. First about 10 moves in two different solutions occurred, however. Even if two guys find the same good...
Hmm! Just looking at the moves for mine and Mirek's solution last week (FMC #72) don't look too similar. But there are similarities: - Same length in htm. -...
