Is there a good online timer with optimal 3x3 scrambles?

 

[ilikecubing]

ilikecubing just to clear things up -4chan knew full ZBLL at one point, if you're interested you should check out the cubecast, he guests on the current episode and talks about the ZB method.

What do you mean by he knew at one point,has he forgotten all of it?

 

[4Chan]

In May, he began to develop a social life with friends. Around June, he started dating some girls, and by July, he had a girlfriend.
All his time went down the drain and he began to enjoy hanging out with her more than cubing.

Around September, he met a new girl, who completely swept him off his feet and he began to pursue a relationship with her.
She was his friend with benefits, and those 4 months were the best of his life.
Half the week, when he wasn't at school, he was at her house, and it was wonderful.
She even drew his speedsolving avatar.

He had completely neglected the cube and forgotten 80% of ZBLL, and 75% of ZBF2L.
But he didn't care, because he thought he was happy. ;_____;

Then she left him, and he was miserably sad.




So in order to cope with the sadness, he started cubing again, and by tomorrow, he will know all of Sune and Anti-Sune subsets.
He still knows 2GLL and a good fraction of the T set.

Not all of it.

You try remembering all of those algorithms after taking a break >:I

>not sure if ninja'd

Hi everybody! I'm sure this will be a over-written question but..

Which cube do you suggest for starting speedcubing? Do you think it's a waste of money buying a nice cube in my position?
(I'm kinda new, I only know the layer method and i was learning the petrus, but i get annoyed when resolving it gets stucked!)

I found these (I don't really understand the difference..):
http://www.puzl.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=319{8}24{10}38
http://www.puzl.co.uk/competition-standard-speed-cube-p-92.html

also I found this one:

Any comments or suggestions? Remeber that I live in Italy.. xD
I was surprised by the low rates of shipping from puzl.co.uk!

Thanks a lot!!

Chris, when you did know full ZB, what did you average?

 

[4Chan]

Sadly, I never knew all the ZBF2L sets at the same time.
One of my biggest regrets.

ZB was really variable, because a bad ZBF2L case followed by a bad ZBLL would create an outlier in the average. Similarly, a good ZBF2L case followed by a good ZBLL would make another outlier.

I'll conservatively say 17. Quite slow.

 

[EricReese]

I was gonna start ZBLL when I finished COLL, OH OLL algs, and OLL. Should be fun.

 

[Rpotts]

lol eric.

Just learn OLLCP

 

[Cool Frog]

Just learn OLLCP

How many algorithms is that?
318ish?

 

[EricReese]

I can't seem to find OLLCP on the wiki?

It was 322 when i counted it, but i may be off by a couple.

 

[4Chan]

I had the same problem.

But a lot of the groundwork is already there.

 

[EricReese]

I'll try the search function. Sounds interesting.

 

[Maniac]

Can I do something to make my skewb pop less?

 

[Matt]

I switched to the mobile skin for the forum and I can't find the menu to change it back. Any help please?

 

[amostay2004]

U' (RUR'U')x2 L' (URU'R')x2 L U

Two Sunes instead, a bit sexier: U' (R' U' R U' R' U2 R) U2 (R U R' U R U2 R') U

(This is a 2GLL.)

Ugh..I thought 'no cube rotations' implied no AUFs as well..I already know those algs..
