The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[EricReese]

Here's a question, I just noticed that there are little dots beside our usernames which seem to indicate when a user is online or not. How long have they been there cause I only just noticed them?

A very long time

A very long time

Wow, my observation skills really do suck... this explains my F2L.

9 second F2L a resonable time for sub 15 ish?

Sn

That means?

How long does it usually take for the WCA to update the results in their DB after a competition takes place?

yes

Why tin?

Yeah, 9 secs F2L is reasonable, I use roux though. But that leaves you 4 secs to do LL. And at your stage thats easy to do right?

9+4 =/= 15

You don't need to say thanks EVERY TIME. Especially is you ask a lot of separate questions.

Do you really care?

Do you really care?

About his posts? Nope. But I care about him as a member. He's gonna die out there :u

9+4 =/= 15

I believe they're assuming a 2-second cross. Either that, or since they are sub-15, it's supposed to be lower than 15.

He's only going to die out there because there are multiple people with the same attitude as you. (my last post about this in here so this thread stays on topic)

Maybe; I assumed that when kpcube said 9 second F2L, he was including the cross (after all, last time I checked, the cross is part of the first two layers)

noob.

The definition is a little different depending on the subject or who you are talking to. Normally it is as above [including cross] but it may also refer to the part of the Fridrich method that solves the pairs without counting the cross part.

I believe it's the second part, since when people explain the steps of CFOP, it's Cross>F2L>OLL>PLL, and breakdowns usually separate cross and F2L.

 

[DavidWoner]

No they don't, and he wasn't breaking down anyway.

 

[Erzz]

Is there a name for an event where you do an average using a different method for each solve?
I was thinking of doing one but don't know what it's called.

So I'm starting to get better at 5x5 ^_^ somewhere around the 1:50s mark give or take for good or bad solves. anyway my question would be what do you focus more on in a 5x5 solve? Turning speed, or lookahead? It seems to me the inherently slow turning speed of a big cube and the nature of the solve would really exemplify the importance of look ahead? I've never really seen a "calmer turning average" but I bet it would be proportionally faster than a slow turning on a 3x3 since the puzzle is harder to turn? Thoughts?
