Hi everyone, I'm glad to announce that a french rubik's cube competition will take place in Lyon on Saturday, September 1st. You can find all the information...
We'd try to have all of the main ones, so 2x2,3x3,4x4,5x5,3x3bld, 3x3OH, Square-1, Fewest Moves, Magic, Master Magic (correct me if i left anything out)...
I dont know... i visited lots of toykingdoms and all they have are crappy imitations probably made in china. also national bookstores. but i did buy a 2x2x2...
I know the Tperm is like the easiest and one of the fastest algs, but I found one using a domino alg and I think it's pretty cool and has potential to be...
A Swedish cuber posted a strange problem on our national forum. He has saved all solves he has done with JNetCube. A total of 1668 solves. Not a single one of...
Agreed. Even I personally am (slightly) faster at 46 while hardly practicing than I was at 21 obsessing over it for hours every day. Communication and...
Yeah, I agree. Tyson is right. The world is becoming more efficient, and the cube is just 1 perfect example. I eventually think the amount of moves it takes...
The probability of 1668 solves without a xx.01, xx.04, xx.07, xx.10, xx.13 is 0.95^1668 or about 6.966 X 10^-38 so yeah I agree there is probably a bug in the...
Hi :-) I cant see that happening anytime soon, that other methods will take over Fridrich's dominance. "Everyone" knows it and practices it a lot. It takes...
I am talking about 7-10 years or so from now, that is my estimation. Of course, that is if people stay dedicated to solving and new ones come along that are...
I think that the movecount of a method is important, but it has to be weighted next to how much time it takes to figure out and execute each move. Comparing...
If we consider the "and so on" to mean that there are no times ending in .01+x*.03 for 0<=x<=32 (ranges from .01 to .97) then the probability is even less: ...
The results for challenge #3 are in: http://www.ryanheise.com/competitions/linearfmc/ 1st place - 33 moves - Ryan Heise 2nd place - 34 moves - Per Kristen...
This would be very hard to diagnose without knowing a lot of specifics about his computer and setup. Specifically, there may be bugs in the timing code in his...
"Bug" may be too strong a word as well. It could just be that for some reason Java on that OS and computer can only produce 67 distinct measurements per...
Hey, I have some black goggles which you can't see through, would it be allowed if I use these in competition? Are there any specific rules about the...
Hi :-) Yes the edges were very good this week. I might have had all edges done in 14/15 turns but chose to postpone some edges in favor of getting some...
Blindfolds are supposed to be provided by the judge "B4a) After memorisation the competitor dons the blindfold (provided by judge)." I guess the rules allow...
