Fewest Moves Challenge, or FMC, is a quiet event where competitors are given a scramble and have one hour to find the shortest solution. The regulations for the event can be found here, but below are the most important things to remember:
- You can only use up to 3 3x3s
- Your solution must be 80 moves or less. Rotations are included in this 80 move limit, but are not counted in the final solution.
- You can only use outer face move turns to solve the puzzle - no slice moves!
- You may use wide moves to move 2 layers at once (e.g. Rw), but they must be written correctly: r' will be interpreted as R' instead of Rw'
If you are interested, we recommend giving it a try!
Time limit
If you reach the time limit during your solve, the judge will stop you and your result will be DNF (see Regulation A1a4).
Format
The format describes how to determine the ranking of competitors based on their results. The list of allowed formats per event is described in Regulation 9b. See Regulation 9f for a description of each format.
