Aren't wide moves and cube rotations basically the same?

 

[JianhanC]

Im at the point where i average about 45 seconds and I use 2 look oll and 2 look pll. The part that slows me down is my F2L this is mainly because I havnt learnt intuitive F2L and when I do the F2L I turn the cube alot and i would like t know how can I avoid cube rotations or minimise them?

Two helpful algs:

R2' F R F' R and R l U' R' U l'. inverse them to set them up to the cases, and learn how to apply them in your solves.

Technically they are, but when it comes to speed they differ.

What is the difference between mean and average?

 

[JianhanC]

What is the difference between mean and average?

mean: add up all the times, then divide by the number of times.
average: best and worst times are removed, the remainder are added together divided by the number of times, excluding the best and worst of course.

Guhong.

Guhong.

Lingyun

This means there's no actual mathemathical difference? Because when i do sessions my mean and average differs.

Example:
Times: 17.57, 14.65, 1:46.56, 18.34, 17.34

Mean: 34.89
Average: 17.75 (the best (14) and the worst (1:46) are taken away. That leaves a mo3)

Are 42mm stickerless Zhanchis supposed to be made of the same (pure abs?) plastic as normal size stickerless puzzles? Just got a mini and it feels a lot more like my solid colored Zhanchi than my stickerless.

And then you get the controversy about whether stickerless Zhanchi's actually are different plastic in the first place...
Just let it be, shouldn't be too important

My 42mm white zhanchi feels much more smoother and quieter than my 57 one, is this the case with anyone else?

 

[Lchu613]

Would probably be because it's a smaller cube, and has a lot less surface area and is lighter.
It's the difference between pushing a giant cinderblock across the floor vs pushing a small brick

Isn't the Dayan 2x2 more of a Panshi than a Zhanchi?

Why do you think that?
If you look at the corner stalks, they are almost identical replicas of the ones on the 3x3 Zhanchi.

Well when I looked at both the corners the 2x2 looked like the Panchi's corners except that the 'corner' part was smaller
