Hi Nan, great GB score leader,
What means the blue underlied times of the form 00:12:12+1321 in the time r=
anking of the scoreboard?

John Baez has been doing a bunch of posting about 4-dimensions on Google
Plus lately, and marking his posts with the hashtag #4d. I bet some of you
would enjoy them :)

Hi Eduard,

The blue color means that in that solve the solver used macros, by writing/=
pasting something in the input box and clicking the "<<<" button. 00:12:12 =
+ 1321 means the solve took 12 min 12 sec, and 1321 moves were made by macr=
os.

Since directly comparing the time of a fully manual solve and a solve with =
macros is unfair, Gelatinbrain made up a rule to penalize macros: for each =
macro move, one second is added to the solving time in the time ranking.

Therefore, 00:12:12 + 1321 is equivalent to 00:34:13, which ranks lower tha=
n a fully manual solve of, say, 00:30:00, but higher than a fully manual so=
lve of 01:00:00.=20

Hi Eduard,

The blue color means that in that solve the solver used macros, by writin=
g/pasting something in the input box and clicking the "<<<" button. 00:12:1=
2 + 1321 means the solve took 12 min 12 sec, and 1321 moves were made by ma=
cros.

Since directly comparing the time of a fully manual solve and a solve wit=
h macros is unfair, Gelatinbrain made up a rule to penalize macros: for eac=
h macro move, one second is added to the solving time in the time ranking.

Therefore, 00:12:12 + 1321 is equivalent to 00:34:13, which ranks lower t=
han a fully manual solve of, say, 00:30:00, but higher than a fully manual =
solve of 01:00:00.=20
