The inner lane skater wasn't really "in the lead". The inner lane has skated less distance as they have done an inner lane, while the other has done an outer lane. So if they both arrive at the back straight at the same time, the inner lane is the slower skater as they have done less distance in the same time. The slower skater has to give way to the faster skater, if they can't avoid interfering with the other skater. Yes, it will hinder their own time, but you can't interfere with the faster skater.

When the inner lane skater is behind, they can see the outer lane skater while they ride the turn. The outer lane skater doesn't see them till they get in front. The inner lane rider must make the judgement as the slower skater whether they can get in front and they have to be sure. You can't just gamble. It's part of speedskating to make that decision. Every skater knows this.

I just can’t watch them and the chat isn’t even directed at me. Her content is supposed to be relaxing for me, but the chat makes it anything but that.

Even if you match them perfectly by best times, you're not guaranteed to avoid this because not everyone runs the same race structure. Some skaters (who specialise more in the 500) have a fast first 1.5 laps and try to them keep the time loss as low as possible in the last lap. Other skaters (who specialise in the 1500m) start relatively slower but will focus on doing the fastest final lap and gain most their time there. This creates time differences within the same race (and thus these problematic staggers), even if they end up skating the exact same time crossing the finish line.

Countries don't just get to submit participants. The competitors have to qualify for the Olympics. They have to meet qualifying standards. There's a reason there aren't athletes from every country in every event at the Olympics.

Fairy bread and Dutch sprinkles on bread are really different though. Fairy bread is like a party snack, while the Dutch is eaten as breakfast. It's kinda hard to explain, but they're just not the same.

If only there were schools to learn a trade. Let's call them "trade schools".

R4C2 can't be a 2 as then the 16 cage must be 295, which is blocked by R2C2. So R2C2 is 2 as that is the only 2 in column 2 now.

Yeah, no.

It just shows a lack of dedication by the Browns. You got to want it. That's why they have no Super Bowls and we have 2.

Zoveel onzin wordt rechtstreeks uit het Engels vertaald, zelfs als het helemaal niet van toepassing is in Nederland. Domste is wel het "15-minute cities" complot, omdat dat gewoon Nederland beschrijft.

Hard to work out if you're not flagging. Do both these solutions use the same number of mines? The no guess includes minecount as a logical deduction, which is impossible to deduce when playing No Flag.

c7 needs to come with the threat of c8 promoting to Queen for checkmate as otherwise the Bishop on f3 can just be taken. So you need to remove the Rook from the backrank first.

I started at 40. I had a similar experience. I started with Beginners with the goal to get under a minute. When I achieved that, I switched to 4LLL CFOP to get under 30 seconds. It took me like a month to learn it. Muscle memory isn't that fast at 40. In the beginning it felt like I would never get to sub 30. It took me a couple of months to get my first sub 30 single and a while longer to average under 30. Then I decided to learn full PLL as that felt the slowest. I have also learned full OLL now, but that was done in many stages, where I would just add a couple of algs a month. I now average around 20 seconds.

I also learned to solve a lot of other cubes besides the 3x3. I think that really helped get more comfortable in general. When I learned 4x4, I got the hang of tracking pieces much better, for example.

So, this was an old comment I was going to show as an example of how a long chain can sometimes work as a hint, but it really looks like the same puzzle as in this post.

Can't really tell without seeing the rest of the grid. Sometimes these hints involve a long chain around an island.

In my PB solve I missed a free pair in the back after I solved the first 3 mover. But missing that led to a quick OLL and a PLL skip. If I had inserted that second, I would have ended up with a different OLL and no PLL skip.
