Triplex

[collinbxyz]

My quadplex II method didnt work so well... I must have tried for 30-45 minutes (through out different solves).

I sorta didnt want you to give method qq. Thx i guess.

 

[emolover]

I tried for over and hour and still didn't get it.

I ended up with like only ten pieces not solved.

Method was

Spoiler

I got all the corners?(biggest pieces) solved but the top and bottom had to have a U2 done to them
Inserted the far left/right blue/yellow triangle pieces
Made a <l [ ] l> and inserted on both blue and yellow "sides"
Inserted the white triangle red side in between the orange and pink hexagons
Made a white <l [ ] l> in inserted in the place below the orange and pink hexagons
Fixed the red and green hexagons so they match with there sides in the center
Fix the top right, bottom right, bottom left and top left blue and yellow triangles
Try multiple times and rage quite at puting the movable squares in the correct place

qqwerf I am going to wait to solve it again until you reveal your method. That was frustrating especially since its a 2D puzzle which I am not use to.

Not that I'm aware of; I would've reported it here. ):

Meep-

I looked at the solves database. I couldn't find any reason to invalidate your 6.5 sec Triplex solve.

OK.... if you didn't backdoor the database .... You have the quickest synapses I have EVER SEEN!!!!

uhallgeo -

My time on the leaderboard should be deleted as well due to the glitch.

Jaycee -

I killed your "Magic Reset Time" along with a bunch of others. I think qqwref lost the most solve times. Not that they were "Magic Reset Times", I just couldn't validate them for one reason or another.

Thanks, George.

Just set my Quadplex PB by over 70 seconds. 107.53. O.o If I can get a sub-100 I'll devote an hour to trying to figure out Quadplex II.

Have fun with that! See if you can improve on where I failed with my method if you cant think of one yourself.

Mother of God...

83.57 Quadplex. Version 2, here I come!

@qqwerf

Can you tell me how to switch these two pieces?

That made me laugh. How close did you get? Did you try what I had?

 

[Jaycee]

It took me about 20 minutes just to build all of the reds. Then I took a Triplex sort of approach to it. I got all but one white piece, the two cyan pieces that are connected to the white center, and the two grays connected to white, together and the a U3 away. I could blockbuild some of the blue, but I ended up ragequitting when I got all but 3 of the blues left. This was about 50 minutes in, so I just tried random blockbuilding crap afterward. ;_;

On the subject of Quadplex version 1, try doing solves on the actual site. You can edit the keys used to move the faces so I don't think you'll have to change controls from QQ's sim. I still use arrow keys. >__>

 

[emolover]

Hopefully qqwerf will eventually tell use his method(I might try again tomorrow).

As for doing the tri and quadplex in the actual site, I don't like doing that. It just feels so weird to me, I am also use to qqwerf colors.

 

[Jaycee]

Ah, I see.

Is there a "manual" for QQ's Tri and Quad sims? Like "F key does ___ and J does ___"?

 

[qqwref]

I could write one if you want. The turns are briefly explained in the source. Here's how it works:
- For Triplex, the three faces are R, U, and F (although L turns also work for the F face), and turns are the same as on the hi-games sim. Specifically, i/k for R, j/f for U, h/g for F, and d/e for L.
- For both Quadplex versions, the four faces are R, U, F, and L, and turns are the same as on the hi-games sim.
- Space scrambles, Escape quits a solve (and clears your rolling average if you were in the middle of it).

 

[Jaycee]

Thanks. I'll try getting used to that.

@ emolover, 1:08.40, 82 moves, Quadplex.

I still get Triplex times slower than this sometimes...

Everyone.....

Are your solve times on KidPaint.net for Quadplex II posting???? Or do I have a problem???

The reason there is only 1 time is that no one can solve it.

 

[ben1996123]

Hao2sorve?

I always run in to this case and I dunno how to solve it. I've only ever solved quadplex1 twice

Edit: Figured some stuff out.

First sub 5 minute :3

Edit2: lolwow this is so easy now

45.88 48.128 (41.18) (59.111) 43.281 => 45.763

Edit3: 36.799

Edit4: 45.88 48.128 41.18 (59.111) 43.281 40.184 50.248 47.128 40.689 43.663 (36.799) 38.966 => 43.935

Edit5: 31.33 single

 

[ben1996123]

Quadplex single 28.73 on kidpaint

2nd on the leaderboard.

Top 3 are now 17.70, 28.73, 55.50

And I've only been able to solve it for an hour

Edit: On quadplex, if you go to instructions, it says "Mix up Triplex".
