I'm working on adding "dodecaminx" puzzles to the speedcube site, and I need a function to determine the scramble depth of N-layered face turning dodecahedrons. For now, I'm just using the number of layers * 25. This works fine for smaller puzzles, but starts becoming insufficient as the number...

After an absurd amount of trying I finally broke my 3x3 average. I'm now down to 15.31, and this one's probably going to stand for a while :) Here are the replays for anyone interested: 13.65 14.74 13.89 18.36 17.28

Wow, congrats! Very nice solve, your turning was really smooth during the F2L You should customize your cube a bit, the default one looks boring ;)

Woooo! I just broke my 3x3 avg record with 16.11, this is going to stand for a while :) Here are the replay links for anyone who cares... 16.34 - 16.15 - 15.85 - 14.29 - 20.41

Mine was a really recognizable and short OLL with a PLL skip. Super lucky, but I'll take it :D Scramble: D F' R' B2 R D F2 D' L D2 L2 D L2 D R' U R' U R2 D2 B' R2 B2 L' B L2 B Inspection: Y' Y Y Y' Solution: F D D F R' Y' Y R U R' Y' R' F R Y' U' L U' U' L' L' U' L' L' U' L' Y U L U' U' L' L'...

I think some people care. In one interview, they put a scrambled rubik's cube down in front of me trying to see if I'd "take the puzzle apart" to learn how it worked. I guess they were trying to gauge how I handled problems I didn't know how to solve. They didn't know I speed cubed though, so it...

Sorry to bump my own thread, but with the new renderer I was able to work on the home and records pages. If anyone could give me some thoughts on the new design I would really appreciate it, web design is witchcraft to me. I'm getting ready to bring the site out of the public beta and throw the...

I'm pretty pumped on this one, just broke my personal best with this 12.66 solve. Two look OLL with a PLL skip :) https://speedcube.site/replay/3436

For the last month or two I've been re-writing the renderer for The Speedcube Site, and it's finally been merged into master. I'd love for some people to try it out and give me their thoughts on how the new setup feels. https://speedcube.site And for the tech folk here, this is a birds eye...

Just wanted to share my new personal record 3x3 single. At the time of this post, my new record is 13.81 and this PB is probably going to stand for quite a while. I got a pretty lucky F2L, last layer was pretty normal. If anyone wants to have a look, click this badge to see the replay :)

Another update, we now support shields.io badges, which means we can display our records anywhere. Maybe the moderators here could even allow them in our forum signatures ;) The path to your badge image is as follows: Change the "3x3" and "username" portion of the url to get the metric you're...

Why don't your preferred names for bottom faces work by itself? I'm not sure I follow a reason to use "DD" instead of "D". I'd be curious to hear more of your reasoning on this, because I like where you're going. The syntax would still be easily human-readable and terse. Also, I like the...

I'm trying to formalize a notation for N-minx style puzzles (kilo, mega, giga...) so I can add them to the speedcube site. I've looked around a bit, and I'm not sure if existing notation systems will fit my needs. Rather than try to solve this problem myself, I figured I'd post here to see if...

Another quick update, I found time this weekend to knock out the following features and fixes :) Averages of 5 are now tracked, they are calculated using WCA rules 9f8 and 9f9. Averages are displayed on both the solve page, as well as the user stats pages. There is no records list for averages...

Thank you, and yes I definitely have plans to add other puzzles. The next ones will probably be Square 1 and Megaminx, but I want to make sure the site is stable and the dust from this beta period has settled before I start working on them. With that said though, if you've got some JS experience...
