Error when breaking a record #223

Open TaxMas opened 3 weeks ago

TaxMas commented 3 weeks ago

Hello, I habe broken my Bicube record this week with a 1.87 time (averaging a 38) due to a 4 mover that appeared (first scramble of this week, solution, U' L' U' F). Scramble: F' U L F R U F2 L' F U L' U' L F2 U' R' U F' L' U L U' F' U L U' F' L F L' It doesn't appear as a PR in my profile. I think it is due to some limits that you have put, but it should be valid.

Hi, new records only show up in your profile once the competition ends. They should still be visible in the leaderboards and in your competition history at the bottom of your profile.

With 38 average 1.87 even on 4 mover seems way too good though...

I know that I'm not the best, but I would say that anyone can do a sub-2 with a 4 mover, I was able to 1-look it, and knowing that I would say that a 1.87s time is even bad, I have better solves in 2x2 with longer solutions.

You can see that it is a legit scramble by checkin the first scramble of BiCube of June 2024 Week 1.

And yes, you are correct, it appears at the bottom of my records, but it doesn't appear in the global leaderbords (check the BiCube records, I'm 2022RODR52)

I also notice that the other competitirs didn't get good results like mine, what makes me suspect if they used the real scrambles (not doing less their effort, they are much better than me).

Anyways, getting lucky is not a crime.

Hi @TaxMas and @beranka, thanks for bringing this to my attention! You're right that the automatic "hide a result if it's less than (unofficial) world record" process caught these results; I certainly didn't expect a 4-move solution random state scramble to pop up. I'll go update this threshold this evening, and restore your results so they count as PBs and show up in the app's global rankings.

Totally agreed that getting lucky isn't a crime; it's just hard to to automatically weed out the jokers, but allow legitimate fast results through without the occasional manual review.

I originally for some reason thought that he meant 2x2 by "Bicube", I didn't know that's a whole another thing. Averaging 38 on 2x2 and then getting a solve that fast would be suspicious to me 😅
