2. For non-DNF penalties, how many seconds are added to the time (just use a number, do not add extra zeroes, do not use decimals, only integer numbers)?

Explanation

You can get multiple penalties. If you get two +2 penalties, you get 4 seconds added.

Submit
3. Can the competitor use both hands to inspect the cube in 3x3 one-handed?

Explanation

The competitor is allowed to use both hands to inspect the cube in a one-handed event. This means they can use both hands to look at and analyze the cube before starting to solve it. However, once the solving process begins, they can only use one hand to manipulate the cube.

Submit
4. Can you give a penalty of DNF?

Explanation

Yes, you can give a penalty of DNF (Did Not Finish). This penalty is typically given in sports or racing events when a participant fails to complete the event for any reason, such as a mechanical failure or disqualification. The DNF penalty is used to indicate that the participant did not finish the event and is often recorded in official results or standings.

Submit
5. Can the competitor have a mirror that lets them see their solve or a camera with their solve in the frame with the screen facing them?

Explanation

If your competitor is doing either of those things, don't let them.

Submit
6. What do you do when the competitor arrives at the station?(select all that apply)

Explanation

When the competitor arrives at the station, it is important to ask them if they are ready to ensure that they are prepared and have everything they need. Additionally, making sure that the StackMat has been reset is necessary to ensure fair timing and accurate results. This helps maintain a level playing field for all competitors.

Submit
7. As a judge, what do you do during the competitor's solve?(select all that apply)

Explanation

During the competitor's solve, as a judge, you should pay attention to the competitor at your station and keep track of all the penalties they have received since arriving at the station.

Submit
8. What do you do once the competitor is ready (only after you have asked if they are ready)?(select all that apply)

Explanation

Once the competitor is ready, the appropriate action is to immediately lift the cube cover off of the cube and start the stopwatch for inspection. This should be done in a careful and non-startling manner to ensure a fair and smooth competition. Waiting for a while, letting the competitor take off the cover, or talking/distracting the competitor are not the correct actions to take in this situation.

Submit
9. As a judge, what SHOULD you do during "Inspection Time"?(select all that apply)

Explanation

During the "Inspection Time," as a judge, you should say "Eight seconds" and "Twelve seconds" if the competitor has not yet started the StackMat timer. You should also ensure that the competitor does not twist, disassemble, or modify the puzzle in any way except for aligning it. Additionally, you should keep track of any penalties the competitor may have.

Submit
10. Proper notation of a 12.234 solve with 4 +2 penalties (not before the solve).

Explanation

The given answer is incorrect. The proper notation of a solve with 4 +2 penalties is 12.234 + 8 = 20.234. The solve time of 12.234 is added to the penalties of 8, resulting in a total time of 20.234.

Submit
11. What SHOULD you do as a judge when you receive a cube in the cube cover?(select all that apply)

Explanation

As a judge, it is important to read the name on the paper to ensure that the correct competitor's cube is being handled. Additionally, making sure that the cube is completely covered by the cube cover ensures that the cube remains in its original state and is not tampered with. Lastly, repeating the name until the competitor arrives in a kind way helps to ensure that the correct competitor is present and ready to solve the cube.

Submit
12. Notation of a 1.234 time with a single +2 penalty (before the solve).

Explanation

The given notation represents a time of 1.234 with a single +2 penalty before the solve. To calculate the final time, we add the penalty of 2 seconds to the original time, resulting in 3.234 seconds. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 + 1.234 = 3.234.

Submit
13. What do you do if you have any questions about anything? (choose all that apply)

Explanation

The correct answer is to ask the delegate (and if the delegate is busy someone else that would probably know the answer) and let the competitor finish their attempt. This is the appropriate course of action when you have any questions about anything in a competition setting. Asking the delegate or someone knowledgeable ensures that you get the correct information or assistance. Allowing the competitor to finish their attempt shows respect for their performance and avoids disruptions.

Submit
14. What can the competitor do to receive a penalty during "Inspection Time"?What is the penalty?(choose all that apply)

Explanation

During "Inspection Time", a competitor can receive a penalty for twisting the puzzle, twisting a corner, starting at 15 seconds or later, starting at 17 seconds or later, altering the state of the puzzle, starting the timer while touching the cube, not starting the timer with fingers and palms down, and letting someone other than themselves touch the puzzle. The penalties for these actions are "DNF" (Did Not Finish) and "+2" (add 2 seconds to the solve time).

Submit
15. What is the competitor allowed to do during inspection? (Select all that apply)

Explanation

The competitor is allowed to hold the cube, look at the cube, start the timer, and fix a misalignment during inspection.

Submit
