Rub Leather to solve faster :)

[maggot]

I hate to point the obvious, since most of the people on this forum do it regularly, but fapping not only increases grip, but gets blood flowing all in one step! Just wash your hands after for supreme grip!

 

[Edward]

I rub this thing 4 times and do a little jig.

Or you could just ......um.....practice?

Even when you completely learn a new move set, or even new method, there are still ways to improve it. ALWAYS. can you fluently do your intuitive F2l? Learn some advanced tricks. Multislotting. Wrong and swapped slot methods. LL edge control. One look LL (JK). But really. Learn some new technique. It'll make you a lot faster. If you never stop learning new things at the cube, you'll always get 'better'.

And then there's 1 looks first 3 layers :rolleyes:

Sure it not called 1 look last three layer.

How about OP3L
Orientation and permutation of 3 Layers

We should make another thread with all the names we can think of to solve it in one step.

 

[TheCubeMaster5000]

Yeah, it'd only be like a few billion algs... F3L

WE'VE GOT CHRIS TRAN, WE CAN DO IT!

 

[hic0057]

Actually there will be 519 quintillion aprox alg. I reckon L3L (last 3 layers) sounds better then F3L (First 3 Layers), I wonder who will be the first person to use this method in a comp.

 

[TheCubeMaster5000]

LOL. Yeah, no prob for those full ZB/ZZ people.

Maybe A3L. All 3 Layers

It's not really the first 3 layers nor is it the last 3 layers, or it could be both.

OPA3LC: The Orientation and Permutation of All Three Layers Combined

It would be less than that because the current scrambles don't allow you to start with certain things done, so alot of possible algs are eliminated.

Oh really? Point me to the relevant WCA rule, please.

Also, how would there be 519 quintillion algorithms if there are only 43 quintillion positions of the cube?

I don't need to. Give me one scramble program that will let you skip f2l. Give me one program that gives you a cube that only needs PLL to be done.

ect ect.

 

[hic0057]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_Cube Wikipedia says so and it's always right

Also it will be weird if someone got given an official scrambled cube in solved state

ect ect.

If a cube position with F2L done was selected when Cube Explorer did its selection for generation, you would get a scramble that only needed the LL done. Show me a program that checks for F2L to be done There isn't one. The only reason you don't see scrambles with F2L done is because out of all the possible cube states, a tiny fraction of them have F2L done. Not because the scrambling program weeds them out.

My point still stands. You'll probably never get those cases, especially in comp.

 

[aronpm]

Edward: that's because of the probability, not because the scramble generators get rid of them. You could still get them. The probability of getting one of those cases is EXACTLY THE SAME as any other case.

Yeah I've gotten than much.

 

[hawkmp4]

No. Your point doesn't stand- you said "the current scrambles don't allow you to start with certain things done." Your point is just plain wrong.
It's not likely, but no one ever made that claim. It's possible.

This was what I was trying to say, my bad for my faulty wording.

 

[Rinfiyks]

If everyone in the whole world could scramble and solve the cube in one second, and did so for a whole day, the chances are about 0.55 that someone gets an F2L skip. If I did my maths right.
