The following are the current official speedcubing world records approved by the WCA. [4] Note: For averages of 5 solves, the best time and the worst time are dropped, and the mean of the remaining 3 solves is taken. For events where only 3 solves are done, the mean of all 3 is taken.
In 3×3×3 blindfolded and 3×3×3 fewest moves challenges, either a straight mean of 3 or the best of 3 is used, while 4×4×4 blindfolded, 5×5×5 blindfolded, and multiple blindfolded challenges are ranked using the best of 1, 2 or 3, depending on the competition. When a round begins, competitors turn in the puzzle they will use.
The following are the current official speedcubing world records approved by the WCA. [38] Note: For averages of 5 solves, the best time and the worst time are dropped, and the mean of the remaining 3 solves is taken. For events where only 3 solves are done, the mean of all 3 is taken.
Despite holding the 6x6 world record average that he set at 2011 US Nationals, Hays placed last in the finals, with a result of DNF (Did Not Finish). He placed 2nd in the 7x7 event with an average time of 3:46.99. [8] At the US Nationals 2012, Hays won the 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7 events, and placed 3rd in the 3×3 event. Hays claimed the US ...
The CFOP method (Cross – F2L (first 2 layers) – OLL (orientate last layer) – PLL (permutate last layer)), also known as the Fridrich method, is one of the most commonly used methods in speedsolving a 3×3×3 Rubik's Cube. It is one of the fastest methods with the other most notable ones being Roux and ZZ.
Vincent Sheu has been an active speedcuber since 2006. [8] He typically uses the CFOP method, a layer-by-layer system popularized by Jessica Fridrich in 1997. [9] In 2011, Sheu tied the existing world record for a 2x2x2 single solve with a time of 0.96 seconds at the Berkeley Winter Cube Competition. [10]
He is a two-time former speedcubing U.S. Champion, runner-up World Champion in 2011, and runner-up North American Champion in 2024. He held the North American record for the average of 5 Rubik's Cube solves almost continuously from 2009 to 2014, during which time the record dropped from 11.11 seconds to 8.27 seconds. [ 1 ]
In a nutshell, Feather's algorithm goes like this: any 3-color solutions that arise from the nodes being generated are then looked up in the array containing distances from intermediate 3-color solutions to the final 6-color solution (a total of 3,981,312 configurations), and if it is 8 moves or less (of which there are 117,265 configurations ...
