Random Cubing Discussion

[Athefre]

I'm kind of out of this hobby, at least for now. But, I just wanted to post something that I had thought of a few days after my last post in this topic.

I found that, after you've placed three same/opposite corners on D and the free slot is at DFR, FRU'R'D can be used to orient a corner at ULF. Just keep placing misoriented corners at ULF and doing that sequence and everything will be oriented. I'm not sure if that's good enough for a beginner or if, like someone said before, LBL is still the easiest to teach. I just wanted to post that I had started using that instead of the other orientation idea in my first post in this topic. Probably because it doesn't involve "work" or much thought. I started to think that the final three move orientation isn't that easy for a beginner.

I know this is sorta old news:

Ryousuke Higo is back with more videos:

@anyone who doesn't know who he is: A japanese guy who was extremely fast compared to others at OH a few years ago...

 

[Yes We Can!]

Ridiculous "solution"

R' L' D' B2 U' F R' B R' F' B2 L2 F' R2 F' B2 L2 U' B2 R F R2 B' F2 U

"Solution":

x2 D U R' y2 F R2 U2 F2 R2 F' L2

That's 10 moves to solve 70% of all pieces on the cube. Weird stuff...

What about 3x3x3 single + 3x3x3 blindfolded single? (Sorry if someone already posted that before.)

Interesting that Haiyan made the list. He's the only one on here with a sup20 single.

Sq-1 method idea:

1. Cubeshape
2. LD CEC block
3. RD CEC block
4. L2E of D
5. PLL + parity

I think there's around 50 algorithms to learn for this method.

This idea came from Tse-Kan Lin's method. He can sub-20 with his method:

EDIT: or how about...
4. L2E of D + parity
5. PLL

does anyone know Stefan Huber's youtube channel?

Sounds like SQ-1 Nub roux, but why 50 algs?

 

[Robert-Y]

40+ for PLL + parity and maybe 5-10 for L2E of D I think.

Also, I just got a 27.71 like this (M2 for step 4 and J perm for step 5 )

 

[Toad]

PLL with parity...

And maybe "algs" for some of the D edges cases.

Oh, hadn't thought of parity.

 

[Kirjava]

11 moves.

 

[qqwref]

That might be more impressive if it was easier to see what colors the stickers were.

Not sure how to optimize this: L u' R U' R' u d R U R' d' L'

 

[Kirjava]

Eh, it's not impressive. I was playing with F3L stuff and that popped up and I showed someone on IRC. "zomg I'll randomly post it"

 

[qqwref]

But what's the 11 move solution?

 

[Kirjava]

You posted it, you're just thinking in the wrong metric

 

[Kirjava]

I found r'drd'R'F'Uwf2Uw'FUwf2Uw'Rdr'd'r and Dan found U'[b'R2b,r][Fr2F',R']U.

While dan's alg does the two seperately, mine does them both at once. Same length though.

I wonder if less than 18 is possible.

 

[Robert-Y]

I just realised that with Tse-Kan's method and the method I was thinking of, you could do pseudo blocks like with Roux...

(However, with the method I was thinking of, steps 4 and 5 would be harder to do...)
