It must be a pretty felixable system.

224 average on reaction test.
average 17 on the cube

On a somewhat more serious note, I wonder if Feliks has a much faster than average reaction time? Feliks, have you ever done any of those reaction time flash games? How fast can you react?

I got an average of 257.8.
Average 25 seconds on cube.

I also don't think Feliks has some sort of secret weapon, and laughed at the thought of it.
I just think it's practice of everything: recognition, reaction, tracking, looking ahead, etc... (Yes, I know some of those might be redundant.)

 

[Cyrus C.]

I don't think reaction time will make too much of a difference. Average is about 300, it's pretty easy to look ahead 300 ms. Even if Feliks did have 150 or something, it wouldn't make much more than .0x of a difference.

That got me thinking. After taking a look at a couple of Faz's solve breakdowns, I saw that he pretty much uses {R, L, U, r, l, u, d} and next to no cube rotations other than in G perms.

Actually Faz does rotations quite often for edge pairing from my experience.

woo I got a 112 genuine, 163.4 avg with a counting 23 XD, 185.75 avg 20 including the 23.

 

[RyanO]

Yeah I'm pretty sure the answer just comes down to the P word like you think

I find it unlikely that his speed stems only from practice. I'm quite sure that there are others out there that practice more than Feliks. Natural ability certainly plays a part.

 

[Cubezz]

Why don't you ask him how much he practices then? ^
No flamming inteded, I'm kinda curious how much he practices daily/weekly.

 

[Meep]

His straight back.

Getting about 300 average on the reaction test

I try to keep edges oriented during F2L though.

I was mainly referring to the ongoing guessing game, and the chocolate posts.

The chocolate posts were because of this:

A couple replies on a topic like that would be fine. But I counted 8 very short replies mentioning chocolate in some form. This clutters up and lowers the quality of a thread.

 

[xXzaKerXx]

Waitwaitwait. Isn't zeroing all about getting the cross + 3 F2L pairs in 10 moves, an F2L pair to control the last layer and hope for an LL skip?

Spoiler

Two years + of practice. There's no zeroing, Anthony was joking.

the faster you get the more solves per day you can do so technically the faster you get, the more you can improve, although that is not the case..

Same here ! And I probably have more pratice than you have at cubing. And I'm still 17avg :'(

Where did you but your bionic fingers ? I need them !

 

[coinman]

I got 250 avg on the reacation test. But i avg 25s on the cube..

What a brilliant idea.
