Don't cube past 8pm

 

[baseballjello67]

Get a tengyun 2x2 and v2 3x3, and quit all other events



jkjk

I wouldn't encourage disobedience, so it's best to just obey him and then later on ask him to (maybe) lift the deadline.

Or you can just disobey him and buy quiet cubes so the noise wouldn't annoy him.

I mean that he changes his mind

Good idea but i think it wont work for him

Honestly I don't see a reason to not just stop cubing after 8, after all, there should be plenty of day before 8 to cube?
If you just do what he says he might decide to change his mind back anyway.

I have other hobbies till 8pm most days

If you are allowed to use your computer after 8, you could do virtual solves. It takes a little to get used to it, but I've found that for myself, I'm actually faster on virtual cubes than real cubes. If you have any interest in FMC and your dad wouldn't get upset at you for it, you could see about doing that.

Want to learn FMC but dont understand it can you help me

Step 1: learn blind
Step 2: buy lots of cubes
Step 3: scramble the cubes before 8pm
Step 4: practice memo during quiet hours.
Step 5: solve blindfolded the next day

So the core idea of FMC is solving a 3x3 cube in as few moves as possible. You generate a scramble, and then you have one hour to find a solution. You can use up to 3 cubes at a time to try different solutions and what not, and are allowed to rescramble as many times as you need. What matters is that you have written your solution down by the end of the hour.

To start, you can just use CFOP to find solutions. But you may quickly realize that CFOP is designed for speed and not for efficiency. Instead, people learn various other methods, such as Petrus, Heise, and ZZ, and choose to use the method that has the easiest solution.

More advanced cubers also use some really cool techniques such as NISS, Insertions, and Domino Reduction. All of these are impossible or impractical to use for speedsolving, as they rely on doing things such as preforming the scramble backwards and doing PLL algs in the middle of the solve. Don't worry though, you can still have efficient solves without doing these methods. I just wanted to mention them to give you a better understanding of what higher level cubers do.

If you are interested in learning more, I suggest watching videos on YouTube. A few years ago I loved Speed Cube Review's videos, but they may be outdated by now.

FMC: a Complete Tutorial

I have finally finished this huge tutorial. It gathers every known technique in one place (I hope I didn't miss anything). Disclaimer: English is not my first language, so there may be mistakes or poorly written parts. Also, I haven't read it through a second time, so there may be typos as well...

Idk if I can help you
Maybe talk to your Dad and tell him you really care about it and then ask if you can move rooms further away from his? IDK
sidenote, why is your Dad asleep at 8:00????

Act sad like you have depression until he takes you to a therapist and then tell the therapist you want to cube until 10 pm.

Ngl this might work.

 

[Kaedenthecuber]

just get quiet cubes and cube in your room with the door closed

He isnt

 

[Puzzlerr]

He isnt

then why can't you cube past 8 if he's still awake?

 

[Anthonycube]

Play loud music while cubing so he can't hear the cube
