It depends what you mean. If you're solving for speed, you'll use more moves than if you think about every step. If you mean the average for a perfect solution...
Originally I had the idea of a 4x4 "2-generator" in order to solve the parity problems fast. Well, haven't gotten anywhere with it, but last night I tried just...
Hey Everyone, So back in August, Animal Planet came to film at Caltech for some cubing thing. Looks like that thin will air on March 8, 2005 so check out...
I bought a cube off of eBay a couple of weeks ago for $1 and the guy sent me that book with it for free. The notation is very dated and there are much better ...
That is still pretty awsome Tyson... please send the group a reminder in March. ... http://animal.discovery.com/fansites/mostextreme/mostextreme.html ... ...
Don't know whether this might be useful in some method, but maybe someone will like the alg anyway: R2 (Uu)2 (Rr) U2 (Rr)2 U' (Rr)2 D2 l D2 (Rr)2 U (Rr)2 U2...
Also, since my construction "(Uu)2 (Rr) U2 (Rr)2 U' (Rr)2 D2" is fairly straightforward, I wonder whether there's a shorter, maybe not so obvious way to reach...
Ok, here's one that builds the pattern using adjacent centers: (Ll) U (Rr)' U' (Rr)' U' (Rr)' U' F' (Ll)' U' In HTM it loses 11-7 against the other one I...
Yeehaa, got a new record of 1:21.76 and got it on video: http://www.clarisita.org/files/uurr4x4.wmv Record average is 1:44.22 including an exceptional solve in...
Hey Stefan :-) I think i know how i gonna solve like that one. All my practice w commutator solving larges cubes will pay off when i get the hang of it. Watch...
Hey all, I'd like to remind everyone that the Deadline for Regestration forms for the Midwest Competition is January 8th. Feel free to email me with any...
Hey all, its getting kinda slow around here. Anyway, the 2nd generation stackmats are now out and I'm wondering if these will be the new standard for...
Wow, I haven't posted a real message here in a while. I was thinking that the Mini Mat would be enough as well, but both mats costs about the same. The...
Hello friends, Recently, we've been thinking about a new strategy for last-layer corners analysis, with weird F2L configurations. I've uploaded a table with 69...
How many possible positions are there for orienting corners and permuting edges after f2l and edge orientation? I'm messing around with different approaches to...
I've been reading around and I see a lot of people talking about a 3 look last layer or 2 look last layer. Can someone explain what that means. -Jim...
Hi Jim. The number of "looks" is simply the number of stages you go through to completing the last layer. A 2-look last layer usually involves first twisting...
Hey James, I think it will be around 56 algs not counting reflections but counting inverses. Counting reflections as well it should be somewhere around 88. ...
Can someone tell me excactly which cubies are glued together on a bandaged cube? I want to make one from an old cube, but the problem is that I can't find any...
I actually figured this out last summer. Counting all mirrors and inverses I got 44 cases. It doesn't seem like a lot but there really aren't many edge ...
