Hi guys, See you all (those who are going to orlando for RWC05 on Thursday afternoon! (If you arrived there by that time) :) If you see me please come and...
OK so this is what we were doing 20 odd years ago: We wouldn't memorize the state of the cube - but the moves required to put each piece back in place. If a...
... "Major" ... far as I ... suggesting. Yes, that's correct, but keep in mind that they get numbers as input! They don't memorize them as numbers, instead...
A while ago I posted an E-perm algorithm, now I noticed I can make a mistake and still get it right. Actually I don't remember which version I posted, but here...
... different pieces, and you have your special moment where you can show one item to the audience on live tv, which would you show? Well, Ton showed the world...
So i was told to use the orientation correction algorithm that i use for a 4x4 to correct the parity error inside of the last center of the super 5x5. The way...
... of ... earlier ... Hi David, could you show us a picture of your cube and that "paperwork"? As I wrote in my earlier reply, I totally agree with Ton as...
My blindfold times have been quite poor lately so I've been trying to practice a lot. I didn't get much practicing done in the last few weeks unfortunately....
... the ... Combining this statement with your other post (#22052 where you say you solve the 4x4 as centers->edges->3x3) makes me think you should seriously...
... Wow, nevermind! I feel really stupid right now. I definitely just figured it out. Please don't consider me as stupid as my posts may make me seem! ...
Tyson -- Out of curiousity, what "method" do you use? I'm sure part of your times is due to your fast times in 3x, but any special "speed" aspects to your...
Hi Jeff, I think my method for solving the 3x3x3 cube is exactly the same as most people out there. Uh, just 3-cycles. I orient the corners, orient the...
... Sorry, that was not my intention. I just knew there must be something wrong but I didn't know what, and my post was my way to say so. What is it that you...
Yes this is a fascinating topic. I would be interested to know the exact color scheme. I saw an early cube back in the 80s and it seemed to have different...
... Hey John, For me this alg is by far the fastest super5x5 parity fix. Look at the "+" edges in relation to the centralmost centerpiece. If those edges are...
... thanks. I do end up with some orientation parities at the end of solving a 4x4 but in trying to see what other people did to solve them, i was never quite...
What kind of advanced thing do Dave Orser do? Man, solving a cube blindfolded in less than 1:30 is really incredible! Sometimes I *just memorise* the cube in...
Columnar F(n-1)L for really big cubes. For anyone who might have any interest, here is a brief description of the technique I used to solve the 20x20x20...
... Yes. Using symmetries you can reduce corner orientation to 66 non-isomorphic algorithms - or less with inversions. If you use set-ups (conjugation) you can...
Pedro, Tyson's just a freak, so don't worry. It usually takes me over a minute to memorize the cube as well, so you're in good company. Tyson just gets lots...
Hmm...but...I was wondering...in how much time do Dave memorise? To do a 1:30 total time, he have to memorise in like 35 seconds...or does he just have a fast...
