[Unofficial] Pyraminx Crystal stuff

[Stefan]

I just uploaded two Pyraminx Crystal videos, one showing a few pure algs to orient/permute few pieces, the other showing how I solve my last layer edges.

Old Pochmann styleeee.

edit:
1st video doesn't work for me.

I like the way the you do your edges, does it avaoid that case were you have 2 edges that need to swap? Im pressuming not.

 

[Stefan]

Not sure what you mean. Any overall even permutation of the last ten edges is possible, so of course among them can be two edges that need to swap places with each other.

The video shows solving a single 9-cycle. First I break into that cycle, then I solve it one edge at a time using "fake swaps", and at the end I close the cycle. If necessary, I repeat the process with remaining cycles.

Swapping two last layer edges would be three steps for me.

The first video is apparently still "processing" and hopefully will be viewable soon.

Hi

The first vid is no longer available. And where are the vids for edge flip, corner cycle and corner twist ? ;-) My style for edges is more free style. I try to solve 2 edges with same 3-cycle, instead of just 1 at a time. I see now how i can go faster, even the solution will be longer ...

No, the status is still "Uploaded (processing, please wait)".

That's that first one above. And it also contains a U-perm for Joey in 10 moves (quite easy, so I assume he knows it or something better already).

still unavailable

I updated the video in his post. It'll work now

 

[Pedro]

thanks, Dan

 

[Stefan]

Thanks. That's the replacement copy I uploaded because the first attempt just took too long to process.

Sorry :confused: I meant when i do my edges im left with 2 edges that either need to be orinted or permuted, or both. So i cant just cycle edges like i do. I've seen theres this commutator, but w/e

EDIT: Those two last edges are on the top of the U face, not the side ones.

Is there anyone besides me that ordered the Pyraminx Crystal (around Christmas) but hasn't received it yet?

 

[pjk]

Arnaud, definitely email them. When I last contacted them (a couple weeks ago), they said ALL pre-orders were shipped in early July.

Stefan, that was awesome. My method isn't nearly as fluent. But then again, that shouldn't surprise anyone...
