Hey guys, It is now official: I can't make it to Nationals this year. Though I really want to, some financial issues are eating me alive this summer... I...
Good tip, but failing that, do bring a print out of your e-mail registration confirmation in order to exploit their half price admission offer. I made a...
Thanks, I'm sure the number that he got is correct or at least very close and I'm sure that the amount of cases is at least 100. I can't learn that many...
I have a major problem on my hands right now. I ordered cubes for the exploratorium... except they were sent to Pasadena instead of San Francisco. They...

It's summer right now so there aren't that many people passing through campus. There will be a decent number of people from Cal that are competing though. At...
Hi Doug, The problem with the bright stickers the cubes come with is the edges are cut at 90 degrees vertically. If they were cut at an angle then they...
Hi Ron, If your suggestion is to check for in general at least 18 (or x) moves optimal solution, then this is something we could do. That's what I meant. I...
Hi Per, Thanks for the info, as I am unfamiliar with Cube explorer. I think that you don't have to start the night before the contest to test scrambles,...
I may have a solution for you, but it wouldn't get them there until late Friday night. With prelims starting on Friday, obviously that isn't an ideal...
Hi, This is about my 4x4x4 solver program that determines a solution for a scrambled cube in no more than 79 slice turns. Thanks to David for being willing to...

Hi, While optimal solvers (for 3x3x3) can take a long time to find the solution for a deep position, they can determine if a position is within 15 moves (HTM,...
Hey everyone, I am planning to attend US nationals on Saturday and Sunday, but have never been to any cube related event before. I was wondering if it is...
Hey, I want to wish everyone who is atteding the US Nationals the best of luck. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this weekend, but I hope to compete...
WOOHOO!!!!! I finally got my first sub-30 average fo one-handed solving. It also is my first sub-29. :-) I'm really happy right now!! I'm gonna keep practicing...
How the heck do people do this one-handed? I tried it once and was just so bad at it -- it's hard to not only grip the cube but to turn faces at the same time....
Nice, Gunnar! One-handed cubing is a lot of fun my best avg is 26.07s, with a PB of 20.37s (almost sub-20 : ) ) my next goal is to make a sub-26 avg, but that...
I leave in 30 minutes. I'll be in San Fran tonight around midnight. You'll see me tomorrow at the comp, but if anybody feels compelled to call me: two hundred...
Cubesmith.com ... stickers only cost $1.25 per set. Over thirty people have told me to paint my cube. I didn't listen to a single person because paint feels...
Hi, I've made it to San Francisco. Unfortunately, my luggage did not. I'll be just hanging out at my hotel tonight, waiting to see if my luggage shows up....
Hey guys, I was wondering if it would be possible to create a cube explorer like program that will solve cubes with undefined points in the configuration, yet...
