So one of the things I enjoy doing Rubik’s related is what is called the Fewest Moves Challenge. It runs once a week, and a scramble is given, and various folks try to solve it in the fewest moves possible. This is a good counter to speed-cubing, since it doesn’t require billions of algorithms to memorize.

In any case, the results are out for FMC # 141, and I won! As a disclaimer, only 4 people entered this week and a lot of the people I usually see winning were not among them, but a victory is a victory. It took me 34 moves, and the 2nd place guy had 39.

In other weird Rubik’s news, I solved it in 38.08 seconds a few minutes ago. The weird thing is that is an exact tie (to the hundredth of a second) of my best ever time.
