Chris Hardwick, Mike Hughey and Dan Harris in a Speedsolving thread in 2026 - I’m absolutely here for it. Almost all of you reading this weren’t cubing during their primes (many not even born)… So, I’ll say this (without fully dating myself or them) - it’s worth going down the rabbit hole of...

I've worked on ZB for 5 years. The first 3 years were primarily development of the method (thousands of hours spent revamping the algorithms through play with the cube and relentless CubeExplorer searching). During this time I constantly relearnt algs as I discovered faster ones. As I became...

Thanks! To address his questions and your answers: - ZBLS is the alg set which solves final pair and orients edges, but I find that the former name, ZBF2L, is a more comprehensive description as I sometimes use ZBLS algs on 2nd/3rd pair. - As far as the “better than CFOP?” argument... No one...

long time coming. :D

It's actually an interesting bump tho. I had forgotten about this, but yeah, this is when Kirjava was showing off the potential of OH M slices way back when. No one was really doing Roux OH at a high level yet. This is bringing me back to those days, and it's insane to see how good guys like...

Finally broke my PB from 2014 - fittingly at my 100th competition. :)

In case you were wondering what Kevin and I were up to last night... A few mins after this I got a 6.7 avg that I'm gonna upload later, as well as a video of me beating my 4-year-old comp PB twice yesterday lol. Dylan Wang (aka Jperm) was trying to talk me into posting more YouTube videos...

I could feel your excitement after pulling off that fourth solve haha. Nice one Dan. #double708

Ah, at least it's not just me then. Thanks! ChicaGhosts will be a fun one -- see you there!

(is the video embedding working? seems to be messed up on my laptop, but the link is clickable) A montage of some clips over Nats weekend. Worlds coming next. In the meantime, off to NW Champs! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcevyZ394_w

In comp I haven't been forcing ZBLLs with ZBLS if it disrupts the flow of the solve, so I didn't end up with any ZBLLs here. I got a few 7s in other rounds with ZBs, though

PB! Even though I messed up the U perm on solve 2, I'm pleased that the N perm on first solve and E perm on last solve went pretty well.

Damn Rowan, sorry to hear about your laptop. I'd read the hell of out that book.
