The One Answer Question Thread

best coll algs?

right hand ones that flow smoothly?

also what are the split for sub 10? 1-5-2-2?

I'd say 1.5-4.5-1.5-1.5.

Well, it seems like cross+f2l vary, but entire f2l should be around 6. Then the LL should be sub 4.

What are commutators and conjugators? I can't really seem to find any sources that made I understand it. Lol

A commutator is an alg of the form X Y X' Y'. X and Y are sequences of moves, X' and Y' are their inverses. They're very useful in BLD for cycling pieces around, but they have lots of other uses as well.

A conjugate is similar, but its form is X Y X'.

Oh, that makes sense. I don't think I know how to use it on my solves yet. haha

I'll try to fully understand them eventually. But, it's not actually that important, right? I mean, I don't do blindsolving yet.

They're very helpful for Fewest Moves solving. Besides which, they're fun.

How long did Faz take to sub 20, sub 15, sub 10, etc. ?

How long did Faz take to sub 20, sub 15, sub 10, etc. ?

2 months to sub 20, a year or so to sub 15, 2 years to sub 10.

 

[AmazingCuber]

2 months to sub 20, a year or so to sub 15, 2 years to sub 10.

Source? But thanks!

Do you mean sub 10= 2 months+1 year+2 years or sub 10=2 years?

Anyway, if it is the second one, that is fast!

I'm not actually that intellectual to do FM solving Lol. As my signature says, I just started speedcubing since May.

The second one. Yes it was fast.

The second one. Yes it was fast.

How long does an average person take to sub 15, sub 10, etc. ?

I learned that no matter what cube I use, I can still get sub-20 right? What's important is my enthusiasm, skills, knowledge about speecubing and modding cubes and fingertricks. If I'm not mistaken though.

I only have 4 more OLL's to learn before I know full CFOP. I want to learn something more, what is next? Also what is sup? I know it is the opposite of sub, but where is it from?

Edit: Is it normal to have nl pb's better than lucky around 19.25 average?

Well, any Cube at the level of a rubik's is sub-20-able. I'm not sure about crappy dollar-store ones.

Still hardware does matter. I'm sub 20 on a decent speedcube but not even close with say a rubiks brand or a cube that does not have an antipop mechanism.

Any speedcube is sub-20-able by anyone. A rubiks brand cube is sub-20-able only by people that could do much better with a good cube.

I'd say the cheapest option for a speedcube type puzzle is a shengshou aurora.

That's true, but it'll be easier with proper speedcube.

Where is a good place that I can learn yau5/advanced edge pairing for 5x5?

 

[AmazingCuber]

Does someone have some good things to do to warm up?
