Thanks! Very clear! Oh and... Sexy colors on that 4 x 4

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Cool!

Thanks for making the vid

+1 on those colors! What is that red?

 

[Gordon]

Those are the same colours as on the GuHong vid on my channel. I can provide more infos tomorow...

Which OLL parity are you talking about?

The horrible long one that flips one edge. For some reason I can just never remember it. I use one from the bigcubes site - I'll give yours and Andy Klise's algs a go and see if any of them stick better. Or I could just practice 4x4 more.

I'll also try his shorter alg for fixing the lasts two dedges - Dw (R F') U (R' F) Dw'

Which method do you guys use for edges? I'm pairing them one at a time and it takes forever. Of my 8 minute solve probably 6 were spent looking for edges.

 

[jayefbe]

I use 3-222-3 edge pairing when using reduction on 4x4. It's pretty easy to learn, and edge pairing is much faster. Check out Yau too. Edge pairing is much quicker, while centers are slightly more complicated.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

This is what I use to flip the edge

I put them in code tags to make it easier to see the pattern.

First 2 double r turns, then 2 single r turns alternated with the U2:

r2 U2 r2 U2
r  U2 r  U2

Then twice the same thing again roughly, just that the second time you only do ONE U, not two:

r' U2 B2 U'
r' U  B2 U'

r U' finishes it off but by that time you will see the r needs to be put back and the U' is something I don't even memorize as I am preparing the next thing to do at that time

NOOOO stop talking about 4x4 feel left out!

[mark49152]

That's helpful, thanks.

Wow Gordon, sounds like you have a bunch of loose nuts and bolts rattling around inside your cube!

So here's the embedded video:

Wow Gordon, sounds like you have a bunch of loose nuts and bolts rattling around inside your cube!

The cube always made this noise, I thought that it was normal I have a new one to mod on the way, I wonder how it will sound...

Will update the siggie later Gotta go body shop with my dad and his car.. some bleep made two nice scratches on the door without leaving a note.. hate them!! (leave a note already, it's the proper thing to do, 's what I say)

The cube always made this noise, I thought that it was normal I have a new one to mod on the way, I wonder how it will sound...

I have an idea for another forum competition. Guess the cube by it's sound. No prizes for guessing the Wittwo v1 though

 

[Kattenvriendin]

No prizes for guessing the Wittwo v1 though

ROFL!

 

[mark49152]

If the Wittwo v1 is the "coffee grinder" maybe Gordon has the "waste disposal unit" cube? My Panshi sounds a bit like a washing machine with trainers in it.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

As long as it does a clean solve, it's ok, right? *giggle*

Yeah my PB is 55 minutes on a 40 degree cycle...

 

[Crazycubemom]

*giggle*

from now I call you " Miss Giggle"

 

[Gordon]

I just noticed, that my 4x4 also makes noise without turning it... just by pressing edges towards each other




And I always thought that this is normal

 

[Kattenvriendin]

*picks up her v-cube and squeezes it, hearing creepy cracking door noises*

NOW I know how they do that in the movies!!
