Another weird 4x4 thing. Yes, these are all slice turns.

22:00 < eido_> scramble: (-5, 0)/(-4, 5)/(0, -3)/(-5, -2)/(-1, -4)/(0, -5)/(0, -3)/(-3, -3)/(0, -3)/(-2, 0)
22:00 < eido_> reconstruction: (z2) 0,-3/0,3/-1,5/0,3/1,4/-1,2/0,3/6,6/-2,1/2,2/0,-3/-3,-5
22:00 < eido_> 7.96
22:01 < eido_> that was a seriously magic sq1 solve... cubeshape skip, one look orientation, one look permutation

It would be cool to have a cuber make a "3x3 Style" or "Cubing Style" parody of Gangnam style.

Not exactly a parody, but it's a start: http://9gag.com/gag/5661377

That is pretty awesome.

You know, i think this forum needs a 'showboating' thread. Or even a competition of the same style. I.e a ''Zomg sub 20/15/10 is so easy,'' a place where you can post video's of your self showing off whilst achieving times that other people struggle to do. For instance one could get a sub 20 single with the slowest possible TPS, or perhaps spin around whilst getting sub 10, or whilst drinking a refreshing glass of milk, or eating some delicious cheese pizza, or driving some form of motorized vehicle, or whilst riding a camel, or upside down, or a sub 1.00 3bld whilst being waterboarded, or Multiblind in a room full of people shouting out random algs and targets. I don't know, think about it yourself.

I'm sure the fast cubers on here must get bored of telling people how to get sub 30, and is about time they had some fun and showed off their talent. It also could be used by the people who are stuggling to have a look, and realise what really is achievable.

Or solving a cube OH while chuging beer in 16 seconds. I bumped into rowe doing this on youtube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-22lMEGLwA&list=UUn6_mDIXk0iLCJFtRNdeALQ&index=1&feature=plcp

I'm thinking something like FMC with a very small time limit? One minute limit linear FMC would be interesting. I'd like to see what, if anything, comes from your post (sadly I can't do anything personally since I'm too slow).

 

[5BLD]

Applemobile, i think that'd be a great fun idea. I wouldn't get involved much though as i think us being able to solve cubes this fast is already impressive... Who knows maybe ill think of something.

I like the whole approaching the frowned-upon showing off thing thing.

 

[applemobile]

People do shun people showboating, but if there was a place for it i can't see what everyone deal is. Lets face it, if you could do backflip before stopping the timer in a competition and know you would still win, you would do it? Right? sub 15 Triangular Francisco?

 

[5BLD]

Me? Nope. I'd want to get the best time i could possibly get
If i got WR somehow in a first round then for second round if i could sub15 triangular francisco then maybe I'd think of doing i

Cubing in public though perhaps I'd juggle three flame torches in one hand while tap dancing and solvig with one hand with table abuse, if I could. Showing off is really taboo but a thread dedicated to it could work out well...

Fastest foot solve with Huge snow boots on

Fastest foot solve with Huge snow boots on

is that a question?

 

[JasonK]

is that a question?

I think he's referring to the discussion about a showboating thread.

 

[evogler]

Has anyone had noteworthy (good or bad) results from practicing with jarcs?

 

[5BLD]

Yup, the first blocks are almost impossible to see by hand

I decided to post this video discussing the Dayan Guhong. I know that there are a few factual errors but I corrected that in the description which is:

Description:
This is my little talk about the DaYan GuHong. They are my favorite cube and so here I talk about them for 7 minutes.
I hope that you liked this video and if you want to see more please comment down below.
Factual Corrections:
V-Cubes did have patents for a 3x3 at the time that they sued DaYan.
Mini Zhanchi's are the "newest" Dayan cube, however the newest mechanism is the GuHong v2

Check out some more videos on my channel if you would like (link in my signature)

I thought they had improved the internals of the minis?

No the internals are the same just smaller. The center pieces are slightly different however, but are pretty much the same as the regular 57mm zhanchi
