The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

I learned roux about 20 minutes ago and was wondering how many full CMLL algs there are. I'm considering beginning to practise roux instead of CFOP but I want to know how many algs it involves learning.

Can anyone help me?

42

I know that this question sounds stupid but are we aloud to use a white cube with the white stickers that are on it looks like there are no stickers on the white side?

Yes. You can use white stickers on a white cube.

 

[Michael Womack]

Yes. You can use white stickers on a white cube.

I know that, but read my question more carefully.

I would never actually memorize it, well of course unless I do like 500+ solves or something where it would become mostly automatic

do that

if you learn which keys do what moves then thats probably not going to help, if you randomly asked me what T does on 3x3 sim then I'd have to think about it (I think its l' or x, not sure)

I know that, but read my question more carefully.

Yes. You can use white stickers on a white cube.

no, you can't sticker 5 sides and leave 1 side unstickered if thats what you're asking

ok, gracias

edit: oh and do you think I should start with the hi-games sim, or go straight to qcube?

How do you order using paypal from zcube?

How do you order using paypal from zcube?

Its odd, because under payment methods it does not list paypal, however it does on the how to pay section.

You have to change the currency in the top left of the screen to $.

Are there any good non-redux methods for 5x5?

Hi-games makes more sense but qcube could help yer piece tracking
For me the whole point of sim is that you don't annoy the people around you with cube noise, so you can still practise in the library

Yau5

 

[Wassili]

That's a reduction method aswell...

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Is there a difference between yau and yau5?

 

[Wassili]

Well there are some obvious differences such as the centers and edges, but the steps are still the same.

Spoiler: Watch this video

no. really you only have redux variants, blockbuilding variants, and K4(5) variant(which is sorta mix of both.
But redux is by far the most efficient for speedsolving.

No, the steps are not the same. With Yau5, you solve 2 F2L (er, F4L) slots before pairing up L4E. You do not do this with yau4.

But redux is by far the most efficient for speedsolving.

I have done movecount averages with regular redux and Yau5, and I consistently get lower movecounts with Yau5.

My bad.

K4 is pretty good I think and so is OBLBL whatever that is
