The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

What cube feels the same as a mini type C (cuts corners) but rarely pops?, because I lost an orange center cap for it.
Also, can I put my initials on a cube to know that it's mine?
Lastly, any vids for how to figure out the number of permutations on ANY cubic puzzle? (n^3) :confused::confused::confused:

How do I find the TPS of a solve?

How do I find the TPS of a solve?

Reconstruct the solve, find the number of moves, divide that by how long it took.

Hi, im trying to improve my cross. Is there a program or application that generates the best solution? I mean like you type the scramble and it shows the best solution so i can compare it to my own.

thanks in advance

Yes indeed, here you go:

Also, there's a Badmephisto video for that!

You can also do it in CCT

wow really! thanks, i didn't actually expect that. I will try to experiment a little with it.

And i have one more question. I think i remember i've read somewhere in an algorithim the notation "Lw". What does this mean?

Edit: what's CCT?

Lw is a wide turn. Say you were solving a 4x4, and you see Lw. You would turn BOTH of the left layers, instead of just one. Sometimes it is also written as "l."

CCT is a cube timer.

ok, where can i download CCT?

EDIT: nvm, i found it!

If the magic is solved but have a corner landed on the timer when it was stopped would that count as DNF?

I average around 1.1-1.2 and I always have that happen to me, so frustrating.

What is COLL, Or CLL, or CELL or whatever it's called?

 

[Deleted member 4527]

What is [wiki]COLL[/wiki], Or [wiki]CLL[/wiki], or [wiki]CELL[/wiki] or whatever it's called?

Wiki tags ftw!

btw I think you meant [wiki]ELL[/wiki]

I average 17-19 sec on 3x3. What should my times be on 4x4-7x7?

Well, there are no set times.

Depends on how long it takes for you to solve the centers, edges, and parity.
In short, depends on how much you practice.

Are you asking what would be the equivalent times the prestige of having 17-19 seconds, or what most 17-19s people average?

 

[cuber952]

What most 17-19sec people average

 

[Truncator]

What most 17-19sec people average

3x3 averages have very little effect in 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7 times, since most of the solve will be the reduction. If you're using a direct-solving method, then 3x3 isn't even part of the solve.

Basing bigcube times off of 3x3 alone is not accurate.

I'm 32 years old, started cubing about 6 months ago (learning full Fridrich now, 45" avg and 35.64 PB).

I'm aware that starting cubing at this age makes things a little more difficult than starting at a youger age (say, when you are 15 years old) if you are looking for speed. So the question: any of you guys also started cubing in their 30s+, and how fast you were after 6 months? Do you think that age plays a big factor in speedcubing?

Its nice to join this forums, btw
