Random Cubing Discussion

I'm bored of cubing. I want somebody to indulge my laziness and tell me which method I should choose for my next main.

Make a new method that somehow involves FiM. I would definitely use it.

Hackmat :3

Kir that is the greatest thing ever. I thought about doing something to my timer along these lines but wasnt sure how to go about doing it and never bothered to look it up.

Link to documentation? Again, I'm lazy.

First, be the pony. Second...

151 algs... hmm... Challenge considered.

There was a Megaminx solve I did a while back. I swear I started the timer like normal, and then proceeded with the solve. It felt slow and sloppy, and yet when I stopped the timer, it said 57.xx. I knew it wasn't fast during the solve, but it was sub-1 according to the timer. So I thought that the timer lagged and didn't count the solve as a PB. Does qqtimer have problems like these or does felt-slow-but was-actually-not solves a lot more common? whauk had a sub-10 solve recently but he claimed that it felt super slow.

I had a 16.xx one time and it felt like a 25.xx on qqtimer.

I've been trying to do some walkthrough solves, and it looks like a lot of cases are missing? Or maybe I just don't know how to interpret them. Like, in CO, there are no cases where the edge is in the U layer.

 

[StachuK1992]

That's because you only have to deal with those cases 1/70 times, and I just can't justify learning dozens of more algs for that.

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

So what was your plan on how to deal with those cases?

Or just redifine Step1: Build a layer(D) and ensure at least one F2L edge already is somewhere in the E-layer, I think this cuts down the CO cases by 50%, and if there are multiple edges you may even choose the best.

 

[StachuK1992]

Honestly, I'd just do CO and throw in an edge k4-style. Hopefully the specific case isn't too hard to just make up.

 

[Kirjava]

Maybe in those cases it's smarter to change stratergy. Solve two edges and do CLL or something.

Does anyone know God's number for the x-cross? How could this be calculated?

[JonnyWhoopes]

So, I'm seriously considering learning L2Lk. This'll be quite fun. =D

 

[Kirjava]

Does it do what I think it does?

Probably not. It's just powered by USB and the reset switch has been replaced with that clunky ****er at the front.

 

[Eazoon]

lubix or silicube?

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

Is there a hub for L2Lx discussions? I searched using the forum search, but all I could come up with was stachu's website thread. I don't feel like continually spamming this thread up with L2Lk stuff.
