Ultimate blindfolded-like team solve

[cyril]

Okay, let's start it and see if we can find a solution without any concertation. I would propose the following rules :

- each of us can add up to 4 moves to the current partial solution. Gilles, your slice moves count as one move
- one can propose moves that undo one or more moves
- when one has added some moves to the partial solution, any other team member can continue (otherwise it might be a bit long ...)
- one can add premoves (or setup moves) before the scramble. This counts as one move.
- I claim we can use FMC companion here : http://www.necrophagous.co.uk/cubestati ... mccomp.php to avoid too much scrambling ...

Have fun !

Start is :
F R2 U' D'

Sorry, I may take a long time to answer, because I only have an internet connection at work, but no cube

internet connection at work, but no cube

... that's why I suggested to allow Charles' FMC companion for this solution ... I do have one cube in my backpack at work, but the java applet is much more discrete !

I can't cube with an applet :-)


Ok, what do you think of this?

We need Lars for the next turn...

[cyril]

when one has added some moves to the partial solution, any other team member can continue

I think it's a safer way to obtain a solution I'll wait till tomorrow and then think about continuing the solution myself ...

[lars]

I only had 20 minutes before work, but the two obvious continuations both look kinda good (though not really spectacular)

a: (U' L U L')
b: (F2 U L U')

[gilles]

I thought about giving the choice between 2 possibilities, but I think it's better with only 1, so I'll take (U'LUL').




PS: Lars semblant absent, c'est un peu dommage d'être quand même forcé de parler anglais pour partager plus tard

[cyril]

Team cubing is really funny I thought we would never find such common ideas ... My next moves felt quite obvious as well I'm not gonna chose which 2x2x3 to continue with !

(FR2U'D') (F'R2F2L') (U'LUL') (FL'F2U')

[gilles]

Hey, it was you Lars?

I didn't read carefully, I thought that the (U'LUL') was proposed by Cyril!

Yesterday evening I looked at it, and I found:

(FR2U'D') (F'R2F2L') (U'LUL') (FL'F2U')
(that's not completely a surprise)

Ok, my turn now, I'll be back tomorrow.

[gilles]

(FR2U'D') (F'R2F2L') (U'LUL') (FL'F2U') (F2U'L'U)

I wanted to explain why. But I don't have the right to. Later.

[gilles]

- one can propose moves that undo one or more moves

This rule should be removed, or else it's easier with 1 player, and the others just submit very useful sequences like (RR'RR')

[lars]

I propose B' U B U2. Which looks a lot like a Roux method position to me.

That's 4 edges left after 24 moves. I found an insertion for those after move 19 that resulted in 34 HTM total (32 slicewise). There may well be better things for the more edge aware cuber. I know a total of 5 basic edge algs.

Full thing from move 19: U L' [B2 F2] R2 D R2 [F2 B2] L2 U F U F' L'


What?? We didn't discuss any insertion rules!

[cyril]

Hey Lars, you speak too much , we should not add too many moves (but you're right, we didn't discuss insertions ... )

I think I understood what Gilles wanted to explain, I was really amazed that there is such a good finish to our 3-brains solutions ... oooops I should not speak too much either

(FR2U'D') (F'R2F2L') (U'LUL') (FL'F2U') (F2U'L'U) (B' U B U2) (L'B'U'B

This rule should be removed, or else it's easier with 1 player, and the others just submit very useful sequences like (RR'RR')

... when I proposed this rule, I was thinking about counting the moves like RR'RR' as four moves HTM ... Yes, it's the hard way 8)

So Gilles, it's your turn ! I hope I got it right !

[gilles]

(FR2U'D') (F'R2F2L') (U'LUL') (FL'F2U') (F2U'L'U) (B' U B U2) (L'B'U'B ) (UL2FU)

Great!
