That's nice! I don't have one anymore, so I guess I can't catch up anytime soon.

I rode my bike from cerritos college all the way to caltech and back to see how long it would take me to get to the cube comp there. It was one hell of a mission. I decided not to go to caltech. Waaaaay too far and I cant get a ride up there

well I accomplished what I wanted to

Finally tried something I've been wanting to try for a while - memorize a deck of cards, using my ordinary BLD cubing memory system. I almost got it! I got one card wrong - it was 8 of hearts and I said 8 of clubs.

I used a web page to generate the cards: http://www.nomicville.com/wordpress/tools/card-generator

I took 3 passes to memorize, total memorization time was 18:38.
Then I typed the cards into Notepad, typing time was 13:26.

Not bad for a first try, I guess. If I had double-checked my typing, I probably would have gotten it right, but I didn't think to do that.

If one of you help develop my method: http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Pyraminx_Speedsolving_Methods
You can use it and get WR! I wish I have a pyraminx right now, I'm sure even I can decrease from 14s to 10s in a week.

I did a few random 3x3 solves today. I estimate that I'll probably end up with a sub-20 solve and average around 23 at Drexel. Worse than expected 16 single and 19 average when I peaked, but this is at least better than my previous competition result.

Nice! how many cubes is it equivalent to?

I think about 3 3x3x3 cubes. I think I'm wrong.

YAY! My application for housing at UCLA has been approved! This is mainly for Lucas, who I poured the weight of my dreads onto just recently. YAY!!!!

EDIT: I may as well add, exams are over! And what happy news it was to come home to.

I think about 3 3x3x3 cubes. I think I'm wrong.

A 4x4 is 24+24+8=56 pieces, which is roughly equivalent to a deck of 52 cards. a 3x3 is 20 pieces, but if some are already permuted/oriented than 3 3x3s is also a good estimate. It is also about 4 Rubik's Clocks as well.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Regarding the memorization of a deck of cards, the catch is that there are 52 possibilities for each "piece", whereas there are typically only 24 for a cube (even less for a 3x3x3). So it's a little tougher.

I was determined for this first attempt to put it all in a single one of my rooms; I thought that was important so I'd be able to do "hour cards" with a significant amount of decks. So I used hexadecimal for the suits to pack the data tightly. Now I realize there's no way all that gymnastics is worth it. I'm going to try again soon without doing all that packing; I hope to get a much faster time.

This way I'll need 2 rooms for a pack of cards instead of 1. That means it's the equivalent of a 5x5x5. But it's very inefficient packing, then. It's really less information than that. I think it's somewhere between a 4x4x4 and a 5x5x5 in overall difficulty.

I memoed a pack of cards, AGES ago. Infact, I still have a poster of the image system I used on my wall

Nice! how many cubes is it equivalent to?

A deck has exactly 52! possible 'states', so the amount of information in a deck is equivalent to log(52!)/log(43252003274489856000) = 3.45827189 cubes. Approximately.
