    Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

    Okay, I've figured out how to use screen recorder, and I understood a cube tutorial. I'll probably spend tomorrow memorising it and making a video, or at least writing everything down.

    I've always wanted an excuse to learn the Rubik's cube.

    Feedback for Rubix:

    Difficulty - I'd say 2 or 3. It was three hours of slog to get 4 of the first 6, although some were much easier than others. That fact that only 5 or so people have solved it so far probably tells you it was pretty tricky.

    Fairness - 10. It was hard, yes, but nothing that couldn't be worked out logically/mathematically. No background knowledge was needed, which is the sign of a good logic puzzle.

    Fun Rating - 9. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge, although staring at one puzzle for over an hour without getting anywhere was a test of my sanity. Good thing I think sanity is overrated.

    I'm looking forward to the next mental challenge.

      Woot! I got 1 and 6, and I'm getting somewhere on the others. IM me at the same name as this if you want help on those or with a Rubiks Cube in exchange for help on others.

      Now where on earth did I put my video camera...

      Oh and PS: As for feedback, this was an awesome idea. The challenges aren't too hard but they are hard enough that they make you think for a bit.

        Difficulty - 2 - Very challenging, but solvable through logic
        Fairness - 10 - No crazy hard math, or forcing us to own certain programs
        Fun - 9 - Only because I got stuck a few times, otherwise 10

        Great challenge, can't wait for more.

            Nobody else yet has gotten it, so I figure the timing's just fine :P

              1. Difficulty - 0 - Too hard for me. Didnt know anything except 6 5 and some of 4.
              2. Fairness - 1 - There's a disadvantage for younger people because we dont know this stuff.
              3. Fun - 2 - Not that fun.

                Even the highlight hints don't make me solve this. Hell, I can't solve the latest token so why am I even bothering lol

                0 for difficulty as I'm poor at mental crap.

                10 for fair I guess. EDIT: I do agree with Mitch for the age thing, but that makes me feel even more stupid considering I'm 21.

                0 for fun since I hate these *Plays Rainbow Blitz*

                    age doesn't always have a direct correlation to intelligence. try and look at the puzzles objectively, instead of just whether YOU can do it (it's ok if you're not smart). except the fun question, which clearly is subjective.

                          Here's my cube solve. I couldn't get the camera working, so I have it on the gabbasoft program. It's a pretty good time for a virtual cube solve.

                              I'm not gonna have a score for this round. It will just be 0 forever.
                              Came back on the 3/25/17 after 8 years of being AFK.

                                I just posted some major major hints, take a look at those and try to see if you get anywhere first


                                Upon second glance, I really should have made this tournament graded by rank as opposed to raw skill goals. It's probably going to cause a lot of point-skewing because time rounds have smaller variance than skill rounds. I am going to see if there is a way to change all this to keep the ranks constant but with smaller variance to improve competition.
