He demanded more rounds of BLD and created a lovely pissing contest.

I DEMAND 15 ROUNDS OF BLD!

Is that where that meme comes from?

I demand *insert number of rounds greater than 2* of *insert event*. Yeah, Haiyan wanted to break his own WR and demanded more BLD like I said. He was banned for 3 years I think..

i dont want walkthrough solves. i want to learn the method (i am a beginner)

This is where I learnt Yau.

Cores

I'm not familiar with the stuff going on in the core, so are all Dayan springs the same, and will it be appropriate to put it in a Shengshou 5x5-7x7? (I read about this here: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?40747-Best-spring-swap-mods)

Also, I have a Shengshou 5x5, and on the green side of the core, the thin 'stem' sticking from the core has cracked a bit. Should I get a new core, or stick with it until it breaks completely?

Some puzzles have springs that look and feel different then others. Like some Maru cube have spring that don't look the same on both ends on the spring. other cubes have springs that compress easily.

How do you take a WeiLong corner/edge piece apart.
They're stuck together like glooo.

Would you consider BLD to technically be a One-Look solve?

 

[slinky773]

Well, isn't a look supposed to be when you use an algorithm for a certain case? For example, for 2 look OLL you're using 2 algorithms for 2 cases, aren't you? So then BLD wouldn't be a one look solve because you're using multiple algorithms for multiple cases. You ARE looking at the cube once, but that's not what that phrase really means.

Yes, technically. But a very long look it is.

No.

No.

It is a "One look" solve, in that you look at the cube once.

One look just means you don't need to look at it after your first turn. Good 2x2 solvers one look the majority of their solves, but they don't just use one algorithm.I'd consider it a one look solve even if you need to look for the AUF (last turn) or the tips on a Pyraminx, buy it doesn't just have to be a single algorithm.So by this definition, BLD solves are one look.

Did you even read what slinky posted?

EDIT: Ok got it. ^^^

I'm using look in a very free sense. :fp yourself.

Exactly my point. Thanks.

It takes a stretch to call it like that. In reality one looking is completely different. You can't look at a 3x3 and immediately see your solution. You track pieces as you solve.

Would we consider SpeedBLD 1-look then?

 

[Renslay]

I can solve the cube in one look, with one algorithm. I just need 60 seconds for case recognition.
