Random Blindfold Cubing Discussion

How should I go about getting sub-1? I JUST noticed that its primarily my exec that causes my dnfs, and in my mind, a fast time is no use to me if it's a dnf. I mean i was getting 10 dnf streaks with 1 success that wouldnt even be sub-1 (so what was the point?) but if i have fast memo (read: 20-25 seconds) then I can slow-exec to practice not screwing up my comms.

Did you guys just wing your memo + exec until your accuracy raised, or did you go for speed+accuracy combined over time?

I think I did push my memo back then but I always tried to maintain pauseless execution.

cool scramble, you can use a zperm
L2 D2 R2 D2 F L2 F U2 F U2 F' L' R2 B' D R U2 R2 D2 R2

how do you know this alg? I saw it from gianfranco's video

I saw it from gianfranco's video too. Fun alg to do even tho I have yet to come across a case needing it

what video is it?

Does anyone know how Gianfranco does parity?

I think he said he knows an alg for every 2c2e case

 

[xchippy]

Is that any 2 corners and 2 edges swapped because that's probably over a thousand cases.

I think he swaps one edge with his edge buffer and one corner with his corner buffer
so 21*22=462

Well I gotta start learning algs. That's like half 3-style but they're not intuitive

 

[kamilprzyb]

Well, that's how you solve a parity like a real man

this scramble can be oriented to have 8 solved wings, and one edge pair flipped in place

didn't get this for a BLD solve but I noticed because I was doing OLL parity avoidance

Cool. But that's a rare case. I don't think Its worth paying attention to wings since they're harder to orient
Also, what's oll parity avoidance?

OLL parity happens if scramble + solve centers takes an odd number of wide quarter turns, so if you check wing parity before a solve and make sure you solve your first 3 centers in an odd/even number of wide quarter turns you can avoid OLL parity every time. With Yau it would be quite difficult but with Hoya it's pretty easy. Counting isn't too bad because triggers like Rw U Rw' don't affect parity, and neither do face turns or wide half turns.

Cool. How do you check wing parity tho? Do you go through BLD memo?

That's the only way I know of right now, but you can always solve at least one piece, and you don't need to actually memorize it, or even count the number of targets, just whether it's odd or even, so you can rush through it.

Crazy but not particularly easy.
