Random Cubing Discussion

yes, it gets harder and less efficient though.

Just bought a WitLong for $11 (free shipping) on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Type-C-IV-4-...#ht_4137wt_829

The original price was $15 (free shipping), but the seller accepted my offer of $11.


Just putting this out there for anyone who wants to try to get a WitLong for cheap.

Random thought - anyone else thinks Dene looks like Chris Hemsworth?

I'm sure he'd appreciate the comparison.

I actually practice my solves while watching TV or a movie. When I do a timed solve it is stressing because I HAVE to get this and that done (cross, F2L) in a certain amount of time. Without that stressor I actually believe I solve the cube faster because I am relaxed enough to actually take in the things that I see instead of looking frantically.

So for a while I've been using my own big cube method. Maybe it has already been proposed or maybe it isn't that good (I prefer it to reduction). It isn't quite as complicated as K4 which is just weird to me.

For an nxn cube:
1. Centers
2. Pair up and solve cross color edges
3. F(n-1)L - 1: Solve all but LL and 1 CE slot. So pair up edges and corner for each slot
4. Strange parityish step - pair up last f2l edge (not corner, just edge parts), pair up 1 LL edge, orient all edges (and small-sub-edges) (petrus style), place last CE pair
5. COLL
6. ELL (3 algs per solve or less, usually 2, all but one alg (i guess two with mirrors) are comms)
