Random Cubing Discussion

[riffz]

Is <R,U,2F> seem like decent enough notation for a 3x3 alg that is limited to only U moves, R moves, and a maximum of two F moves?

I would say no. I read that as SiGN. I'd say something along the lines of what qq suggested (<R,U>+2*F) would be better.

anyone actually got lightake cube bags? never got 1 from recent order

I made a channel for fake vids.

Any suggestions? I'd be nice if someone had kuti videos that weren't already floating around youtube.

I think it's useful to mirror stuff like this.

If you do this, I'd say include explanations, evidence not in the video, and how certain we can be that it's fake.

 

[Kirjava]

I was going to include the word "suspected" before fake.

We can't be certain that they are fake for most videos.

Besides, this isn't really for the public - it's to mirror the videos so they can still be used when the original creators take them down.

Ah, ok. Still, these videos will likely have a discussion here, so a link to that would be good. And maybe one or two sentences summarizing the situation. Just so that when people get to the video, they're not lost wondering how it is fake. In some cases it's rather obvious for a good cuber, in other cases it's impossible to tell without background information.

I think the only events that have been proven to be cheated in, are clock and bld

 

[Cubenovice]

Is it intended as a "hall of shame" or would it also feature stuff like Kirjava-parity?

How will you make the distinction between a "malicious" fake solve and stuff like inside jokes?

 

[cubersmith]

Oh wait do you mean things people have done on camera at home? or in comp?

A link to the relevant forum post is a good idea, I'll start doing that.

You misunderstand!

I'll just post the malicious ones. It's not even really a hall of shame, just a safer place to store the videos than on my hard drive.

Both!

 

[Andrew Ricci]

Sounds like a good idea, but would you also like fake videos like Lucas Garron used to make? Ones where we task people to find out how it was done?

 

[Kirjava]

no, that's not the purpose of the channel

 

[Andrew Ricci]

no, that's not the purpose of the channel

I get what you meant, I was just wondering if you would have those as well. Okay, then.

 

[qqwref]

That channel seems like a really cool idea. You should probably add Kuti videos though (and that fake 6x6 solve, and old lolben stuff, and...)
