[spoiler=WCA Outlaws G Perms, World Records Smashed
F AND N PERMS ALSO BANNED
by Shelley Chang]WCA Outlaws G Perms, World Records Smashed
F AND N PERMS ALSO BANNED
(SYDNEY) - IN an unprecedented move by WCA officials Saturday, the execution of several PLL algorithms were outlawed effective immediately. Citing difficulty in execution, Ron van Bruchem banned all G, F and N permutations. Consequently, all solve attempts finishing with one of these permutations are now automatically considered solved.
Feliks Zemdegs of Australia promptly set new world records in the 3x3 speedsolve event with a 3.55 second single and 5.79 second average in the first round of the Sydney Open on Saturday morning. "Two of my solves ended in G perms, and another one was an N perm," said the record holder, whose records are now even more unapproachable by mere mortals. "It's like getting free PLL skips!"
Andrew Nelson of the United States, co-founder of "Who Does the F-perm?", the campaign to outlaw the F perm started in 2008, is thrilled that his movement has gained international acceptance and legitimacy. "For the past three years, I've only known 20 PLLs," said Nelson, who refuses to accept the existence of the F perm. "Now I can forget even more of them." He did note the irony that Michael Bennett, the other co-founder of "Who Does the F-perm?", is one of the few people who cannot realize the full advantage of this new regulation. Bennett uses the Roux method, which does not deal with PLL at all unless certain steps happen to be skipped. Bennett could not be reached for comment, and there is speculation that he is on permanent vacation in his homeland, the landlocked island of Smerbia.
Not all cubers are as enthusiastic about the ban. American cuber Daniel Hayes is ignorant of PLL names. He deals with the new regulation by assuming all his PLLs are G perms and stops solving. "I've set a new personal best, but my DNF rate has skyrocketed," he said.
WCA Board member Tyson Mao seems hesitant about the new change and subsequent loophole allowing the new world records. "I don't want to formally recognize these new times as world records until after all the kinks have been ironed out. This is the first time we're allowing unsolved cubes as a valid solved state." But as news of Zemdegs's record spread, Mao dreads dealing with the fallout that would occur if the recognition were rescinded. "Clearly, we didn't think this through," he said.[/spoiler] [spoiler="Guy's cousin" wins 2011 Rubik's Cube World Championship in huge upset victory

"Guy's cousin" wins 2011 Rubik's Cube World Championship in huge upset victory
October 16, 2011
(Bangkok) - This past weekend the most talented Rubik's cube solvers across the globe gathered together for the 2011 World Rubik's Cube Championship. This is the 6th World Championship since the puzzle was first released in the 1980's in the US. Over 400 competitors converged on the Baiyoke Sky Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand to attend the prestigious tournament. Over 39 different countries were represented, making this "...one of the largest and most successful international competitions in history" according to World Cube Association (WCA) board member Ron van Bruchem. Competition was tough, and spread across 19 different official events ranging from solving a Rubik's cube as quickly as possible, to solving one-handed, blindfolded, and only using their feet! The most prestigious title is to be declared the World Champion in the main event - solving a Rubik's cube in the shortest time out of all the competitors.
The winner of the main event this year, with a new world record average of 2.32 seconds, is a relatively unknown cuber, known by most competitors as "some guy's cousin", and those close to him refer to him as "this guy I know". The 2009 World Champion Breandan Vallance, who lost his World Champion title to the newcomer, had this to say about the surprise upset victory:
"Nobody really knows where he came from. One of the spectators said that his cousin could solve the cube in 'like 2 seconds every time, no joke!'. He ran home to tell his cousin, who signed up for the competition. I'm still in shock really. I don't know what to think right now."
WCA board member Tyson Mao had this to say about the newcomer: "This was a huge surprise! Our new World Champion really is the cousin of one of the spectators. His name is Jatukamramthep Wattanapanit, and he's sort of a rags to riches story actually. His cousin came into the Baiyoke Sky Hotel Venue after seeing posters around town about the World Competition. His cousin ran home to get Jatukamramthep, and bring him to the competition as a day-of sign up. Until now, Jatukamramthep was not known in the community, and now he's famous!"
When asked who might win the championships, many competitors mentioned the name of Australian competitor Feliks Zemdegs. Zemdegs, the previous world Record holder and likely winner of the competition, came in 2nd place to Wattanapanit and had this to say:
"Yeah it was a huge surprise to everyone. I mean, this guy shows up and yells 'Hey Rubik's cubes! My cousin can solve one with one hand and without looking'. He then runs home and brings his cousin, and his cousin really is that good. I'm just in shock really. Normally when people say their cousin is fast, they're just making it up or outright lying or something. I don't think anyone really knows what to think."
Incidentally, Wattanapanit did also win the World Champion title for both the Rubik's cube one-handed event, and the Rubik's cube blindfolded event. Both victories were made even more of an upset because he competed both one handed and blindfolded in both events, which was not a requirement by the WCA.
After the award ceremony Wattanapanit could be seen signing autographs for both novice and expert cubers alike. When asked how it feels to be the new Rubik's cube World Champion Wattanapanit had this to say:
"It's pretty cool I guess. My family is always trying to show me off, and they tell me about all the times that they see someone solving a Rubik's cube and they tell them about me. I don't know why everyone is so much slower than I am, I figured everybody could solve a Rubik's cube in 2 seconds one-handed behind their back and blindfolded. I mean, I don't want to be mean to these other cubers, they're really nice and some of them are ok I guess. Feliks is sort of fast, and I think if he keeps at it he'll be just as fast as me. I don't really want to say I'm better, but I'm pretty good at cubing, yeah. It's nice to know that I'm World Champion. Maybe now people will finally believe my family members when they tell other cubers about me."
Wattanapanit has no plans to continue practicing for the 2013 World competition. After his victory he's going to move on to playing competitive Starcraft II. He sure left a mark on the Rubik's cube community, though. The top competitors now have their work cut out for them to improve to Wattanapanit's new world class level of Rubik's cube solving. At least they don't solve it like I did when I was young. I just peeled the stickers off.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Can the Rubik's Cube World Champion 2011 be a girl ?
by adragast]Can the Rubik's Cube World Champion 2011 be a girl ?
October 8, 2011
(Bangkok) - This is a big surprise for Rubik's cube solvers who were coming from all over the world for this 6th edition of the Rubik's Cube World Championship. The best cubers were gathered and most were expecting Feliks Zemdegs, a young prodigy from Australia to win this competition. However, 14-year-old Sarah Maes from Belgium won with a stunning 6.21 second average. "I guess I just got lucky", she told in an interview. So lucky that it got suspicious. The WCA board decided to suspend the results until cheating investigations have been conducted. Several feminist organizations around the globe have asked the WCA to review their decision. "Until proven guilty [of cheating], this young girl should be declared the Rubik's cube world champion" said for example the International Organization for Women in an open letter.
Ron van Bruchem co founder of the WCA and one of the main organizers of the competition declared that "this is too suspicious" and that the WCA has already deprived "real" champions from their title in the past because they were not prompt enough to detect cheating. "Sarah got twice a LL skip [something that makes the cube magically solved in the middle of the solve]. A LL skip is already so rare that getting one is suspicious. Two of them in the same series of 5 solves clearly implies some cheating". He added that this "has nothing to do with the fact that Sarah is a girl and that the WCA would have taken the same measures have it been a boy".
In an attempt to understand the cheating, someone known as 'Brest' in speedcubing forums has decided to reconstruct every solves of every competitors, which means checking on a video every moves done by competitors while solving the cube in order to check if the initial position was the one obtained after the WCA scrambles. This task is really difficult because most solves were not recorded properly on a video camera and Brest has to work with records from security cameras without focus on the competitors and with some of them in gray shades. Also some judges, competitors passing by may hide the person solving. In the last update, Brest said that he was done for about 75% of all 3x3 solves but that he was intending to do the same for other events as well, even maybe for some previous competitions. He also expressed his regrets that not every solves have been recorded on camera, something that the WCA should think about.
Lucas Garron, also a well known contributor to the speedcubing community said he was working on an automatic reconstruction software that would be able to give the reconstruction of a solve from a video. "I have been thinking about it for a long time. The recent progress in term of pattern recognition has now made it possible". He admitted though that Brest would probably have finished before the program is fully tested and running.
While waiting for the results of the investigations, the suspense is at its highest. Sarah would be the first woman to win a Rubik's Cube World Championship.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Definition of "Colour Netural" updated in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
by Teller Coates]Definition of "Colour Netural" updated in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
(Earth, Western Spiral Arm) - It is not common knowledge that there are in fact two distinct entries about Earth in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
1) About Earth itself, "Harmless." Later updated to "Mostly harmless."
2) Earth's definition of "Colour Neutral." According to president Ojava of Earth, CN means zero bias. If you timed Feliks, not all six colours would have the same average. This definition would be forced to declare that Feliks was not, in fact, colour neutral. Any scientist worth his salt at this point would have to stop and reflect and wonder if maybe he had taken one too many philosophy courses...
Nonetheless...your editor has decided that henceforth what he does in a speedsolve shall now be called, "Mostly Colour Netural." That should satisfy all parties and save face for everyone, yes? I think it has a nice ring to it, to be honest[/spoiler]
[spoiler=12-Year-Old Unveils Revolutionary New Method, Discovers It Is Just Petrus
by Shelley Chang]12-Year-Old Unveils Revolutionary New Method, Discovers It Is Just Petrus
(TORONTO) – 12 year old Nick Kalman excitedly unveiled his revolutionary new solving method at the Canadian Open last Saturday to an audience of Canada’s best cubers. Asked about the story behind the method, Kalman explained “I started cubing a few months ago, and learned about this method called ‘Fredrich’ or something, that’s supposed to make you faster. I looked it up, and it was just hundreds of algorithms. I tried memorizing them, but it was too hard. So I started playing around with other ways instead, and came up with a new way to do F2L.”
Kalman’s new method eschews the traditional cross and involves building blocks of adjacent pieces until two layers are solved. “I think this method really has potential. I haven’t figured out all the algorithms yet, but I’m sure it’s capable of sub-20 times. Everybody starts with a cross; this method is very unique.”
Other cubers are less inclined to agree with that statement. American cuber Dae Young Yoon commented, “Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be switching from Fridrich, but this really isn’t anything we haven’t seen before. It’s just another block building method. You could just use Petrus.”
Lars Petrus of Sweden could not be reached for comment. His eponymous method is well established and has been used by many to solve the cube for the first time.[/spoiler]

Re: The Carrot's Articles
Le sujet m'a inspiré, voici ma contribution (en English, because sur speedsolving...)
7x7x7 scrambles replaced by checkerboard pretty pattern
No more nervous breakdowns during scrambling
Checkerboard pattern, also known as Pons Asinorum. Screen capture (c) Reuters 2011.
AMSTERDAM - WCA board announced yesterday a revolution in the world of big cubes. From January 1st 2012 on, 7x7x7 cubes will not be scrambled anymore during competitions. Instead, cubers will have to perform a sequence of moves known as "checkerboard pattern" or "Pons Asinorum", starting from the solved state of the cube. In his official statement, president Ron van Bruchem explains that the idea arose during World Rubik's Cube Championship in Bangkok, Thailand: "35 competitors registered for the first round of 7x7x7, and this turned out to be a nightmare. One of the randomly generated scrambles was particularly difficult, and despite our efforts none of the scramblers was able to obtain the correct scrambled state. I have to confess that we ended up peeling the stickers off the 35 cubes. Many WCA delegates admitted after this fiasco that they had done the same in the past, when they found 7x7x7 scrambles too treacherous".
Spectacular action
With this new rule, solving the 7x7x7 is expected to become much more spectacular, fun, and popular amongst cubers. WCA board member Tyson Mao remembers when Rubik's Magic and Rubik's Master Magic were introduced as official events: "At first, cubers were a bit puzzled about the idea of having to solve always the same scramble, but nowadays they got used to it. Plus, the checkerboard pattern is much more complicated than the Magic solution, since it involves a tremendous amount of slice moves. I am looking forward to seeing how fast guys like Kevin, Bence or Feliks can be with the new rule. For sure, this will be the main event of WC2013, which will be held in my backyard in two years".
Pillowed cubes issue solved
In his official statement, Ron van Bruchem also insisted on the fact that the controversy about pillowed 7x7x7 cubes (expert competitors have developed techniques allowing them to be able to see all the stickers simultaneously on such cubes without rotating the puzzle) is now over: "This is great news, since it does not matter anymore if competitors can see more stickers than on cubic-shaped puzzles! 7x7x7 is just the beginning, 5x5x5 and 3x3x3 will follow soon. We are working on other cubes such as 2x2x2 and 4x4x4, but so far Cube Explorer has not been able to generate solutions to the Pons Asinorum pattern for even cubes. This is just a matter of time".
V-Cubes announces new V-Cube 7
As soon as the news spread, Greek inventor Panagiotis Verdes announced that his company will soon commercialize a special version of the 7-layer cube: "The new V-Cube 7 will be natively stickered with the checkerboard pattern. This way, performing the required sequence of moves will actually solve the puzzle! Surely, this will blow cubers' minds, and we hope that this long-awaited new V-Cube will be a big hit next Christmas". Meanwhile, youtube star Billy "MeMyselfAndPi" Hansen has already published videos showing how simple modifications of the inner structure will boost 7x7x7 solves: "With my new 7x7x7 mod, only half turns are possible: no more silly mistakes while building the checkerboard pattern! Besides, it becomes possible to rotate as many orthogonal slices simultaneously as one wants! WCA board is currently analyzing if this breaks the rules, but I am pretty confident they will accept modded cubes, since this will make solving the 7x7x7 even more spectacular".
With the new rule taking effect in two months, everyone will have the opportunity to become a world-record holder. Already 42 competitions around the world featuring the new 7x7x7 event have been announced on WCA website for January 1st.

No more nervous breakdowns during scrambling

AMSTERDAM - WCA board announced yesterday a revolution in the world of big cubes. From January 1st 2012 on, 7x7x7 cubes will not be scrambled anymore during competitions. Instead, cubers will have to perform a sequence of moves known as "checkerboard pattern" or "Pons Asinorum", starting from the solved state of the cube. In his official statement, president Ron van Bruchem explains that the idea arose during World Rubik's Cube Championship in Bangkok, Thailand: "35 competitors registered for the first round of 7x7x7, and this turned out to be a nightmare. One of the randomly generated scrambles was particularly difficult, and despite our efforts none of the scramblers was able to obtain the correct scrambled state. I have to confess that we ended up peeling the stickers off the 35 cubes. Many WCA delegates admitted after this fiasco that they had done the same in the past, when they found 7x7x7 scrambles too treacherous".
Spectacular action
With this new rule, solving the 7x7x7 is expected to become much more spectacular, fun, and popular amongst cubers. WCA board member Tyson Mao remembers when Rubik's Magic and Rubik's Master Magic were introduced as official events: "At first, cubers were a bit puzzled about the idea of having to solve always the same scramble, but nowadays they got used to it.

Re: The Carrot's Articles
J'avais vu et je voulais te le laisser le poster, mais je pensais que tu le traduirais aussi.
En tout cas, nice!
Et j'en retraduirais d'autres parce que ça occupe et que ça fait travailler l'anglais utilement.

Re: The Carrot's Articles
Une autre petite trad:
J'ai eu du mal à traduire "misses the cut", "stunning upset", "blank", et "hushed" (d'ailleurs évité par la tournure de la phrase celui-là^^). Vous auriez mis quoi? Et que pensez-vous de la trad de "it's the cuber, not the cube", par "le cube ne fait pas le cubeur"? Je vois pas trop comment ç'aurait été possible de traduire plus littéralement en faisant ressembler l'expression à quelque chose?

Re: The Carrot's Articles
"misses the cut" ==?> "rate le coche"
Ce nouveau forum valait bien une nouvelle signature

Re: The Carrot's Articles
J'y ai pensé, mais ça faisait bizarre dans un titre d'article. C'est dur de coller à l'esprit du texte.

Re: The Carrot's Articles
Misses the cut => littéralement, il rate la coupe (on coupe le groupe et on prend les 20 premiers par exemple) => il ne parvient pas à se qualifier pour le round final.
Stunning upset => Dans/c'est une défaite stupéfiante. ça se traduit pas bien en français je trouve, mais c'est ce qui me semble le plus proche :p (Renversement de situation stupéfiant pourrait aussi marcher je suppose)
blank => vide : des regards vides dans ce cas-ci
hushed => silencieux : la foule silencieuse (mais bouche bée, ça marche bien je trouve )
It's the cuber, it's not the cube => C'est le cubeur, pas le cube. C'est une phrase qui se revient souvent pour les "noobs" sur speedsolving, donc ça se comprends assez bien, mais peut-être qu'en français il faudrait rajouter ce qui est impliqué : "c'est le cubeur qui fait la différence, pas le cube" ? ça c'est un peu libre de choix j'imagine :p
Bon, j'suis pas traductrice professionnelle non plus hein ^^

Re: The Carrot's Articles
Tant qu'on est dans les erreurs de traduction, il y en a 2 vraiment énormes :
- On hausse les épaules et on hoche la tête mais on ne hoche jamais les épaules
- je crains qu'une victoire soie . Non mais ho ? Il ne me semble pas avoir vu le mot "silk" dans le texte original.
Sinon, tu as inversé 2 mots dans la phrase "je bien peux réussir sans corner-cutting"
- On hausse les épaules et on hoche la tête mais on ne hoche jamais les épaules
- je crains qu'une victoire soie . Non mais ho ? Il ne me semble pas avoir vu le mot "silk" dans le texte original.
