Solving game

[doubleyou]

My friend came up with this game. well its not a game just a way to play with your cube and learn about setup moves.

scramble ONLY by using double moves (U2, R2 etc)
then solve top and bottom with 5x5x5 centers theory. then (maybe) fix parity. then corrent the permutation of each layer.

then solve middle layer pieces with setup moves and edge cycles

try it out! I found it more fun after a little while

solve top and bottom with 5x5x5 centers theory

:confused:

 

[doubleyou]

hahah! that was what I thought too when my friend told me.

funny thing is YOU are lost here. ok let me explain, imagine you have solved all centers on the 5x5x5 except the last two. say white and yellow.

use the exact same moves to solve this method (game, what ever) and see what I mean

 

[ExoCorsair]

Are we supposed to solve with double turns as well?

 

[doubleyou]

btw. if you scrambled correctly only opposit colors will show on each face. a good mix is possible tho

 

[doubleyou]

Are we supposed to solve with double turns as well?

erhm.. not nessaceraly (spelling!!) I suppose.. lemme check

edit: no! would you always solve (5x5) center pieces with double moves ONLY?

 

[joey]

If ou mix it up with double turns only, solve it with double turns only, otherwise its kind of pointless, and gives a very easy solve, since everything is oriented.

 

[AvGalen]

solve top and bottom with 5x5x5 centers theory

Oh, you mean seperate white and yellow, so just top and bottom faces, not layers

Example scramble: F2 R2 D2 L2 R2 D2 B2 L2 U2
Seperation: R2 F2 B2 D L2 D2 L2 D2 L2 D' L2
PLL1: L' U R U' L U L' U R' U' L U2 R U2 R', U, R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 U
Parityfix: z2 R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U2
PLL2: L' U R U' L U L' U R' U' L U2 R U2 R', R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R' U2
R2 B D2 x R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 x' D2 B' R2

That is not a half bad idea.

Lars V and I tried this last time I visited his place, it was pretty funny! It took ages to work out how to solve the H-PLL with only double turns

That must have been a different challenge. This challenge says nothing about solving with only double turns.

Actually it is just a strange challenge, especially "then solve middle layer pieces with setup moves and edge cycles" because it would be so much easier/faster with Roux (M' U2 M U2 for example)

 

[doubleyou]

oh, so you say you have moves for solving middle layer pieces?

I havent thought of using tecnics from other methods for this. for me it usually turns out to be (F2L edge swithcher) R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 before solving the last layer. usually.. else I have to think and "make something up"
also, I dont rush this at all. just for fun

 

[doubleyou]

PJK, what do you mean by this? "That is not a half bad idea."

 

[AvGalen]

oh, so you say you have moves for solving middle layer pieces?

Yes, and very short and fast ones too, try M' U2 M U2.

I was also wondering what PJK meant. It couldn't have been my solution because that solution is really bad.

 

[doubleyou]

that is sweet! how do you fix parity? with that ever continuing M,U alg?

 

[AvGalen]

If you want to fix parity on top and bottom: M2 U2 M2
If you want to fix parity on top and middle layer:

Parityfix: z2 R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U2

 

[clincher]

I think what PJK meant was that is not a bad idea not even half of bad idea does that make any sense to you?

 

[AvGalen]

WHAT was not a half bad idea?

 

[clincher]

The solving game the one doubleyou came up with

 

[pjk]

PJK, what do you mean by this? "That is not a half bad idea."

Meaning that it is a good idea. I like the idea of that game.
