    That is just incredible... wow.

    Forum "blogs" are gone?

    I was planning on referring to an old interview by Sillas (Interview with Jessica Fridrich and Zbigniew Zborowski about Feliks Zemdegs), when I realized that it's no longer accessible (all "blog/entry" links too). Was it removed? Or probably just not restored when everything went down during...

    [Help Thread] Petrus Discussion and Help thread

    Interesting... having an explicit EO step, I'd never have expected rotations to be a problem. Is there no fast rotationless "technique" for the block building? e.g. Roux 2nd block can be done by limiting the moveset to <M, R, r, U> (and inverses and double turns) Maybe a similar technique can...

    [Help Thread] Lubrication Thread

    One of the shops listed here or here may have it. I used a similar approach to find the store where I got my 40000 cst silicone differential oil (and I live in a 3rd world country where a lot of things are hard to find in stores).

    New 3x3x3 Cube : MoYu ChiLong

    I wish they would make a 55mm weilong instead of "the next x-long". And maybe going down the stickerless route wouldn't hurt either. I'm still staying with my zhanchi despite wanting the weilong badly, since 57mm cubes make my hands hurt after a while. And I prefer using a stickerless...

    Random Cubing Discussion

    I agree that it seems cumbersome. Since 3x3 with inspection is still the main event, and no-inspection is only a side event, maybe we can have it open only for 3x3 (with inspection) final round qualifiers. And only a single round. Sort of an "attraction" type of thing at first, which will...

    Random Cubing Discussion

    I personally find the concept of inspection weird. Especially in a world where many noncubers hide the cube from you when scrambling, as if they think you can actually memorize a hand scramble instantly and do it backwards to solve the cube. "Solving it in your head", before the timer even...

    Cookie Clicker

    You don't even need to add a cookie, even just spawning a golden cookie works: javascript:Game.goldenCookie.spawn() Also, apparently, there's a new upgrade tier, and milk tier. And dungeons in the beta.

    I can't even see a lot of the turns. Wow, that's amazing.

    3x3x3 simulator in 745 bytes of javascript

    Very nice. I recommend changing FA0 to something like F50 (the current orange and yellow confuses me).

    Which 3x3x3 positions require at least 20 moves to solve?

    I totally agree. That's a very clear and surprisingly accurate representation. Very concise.

    3x3x3 simulator in 745 bytes of javascript

    I think just requiring at least 27 stickers is a more accurate "realistic simulation", since you can only normally see at most 3 sides of a cube simultaneously. (Although seeing the other sides wouldn't hurt) Back when I was first learning Java, I made a sim (with almost the same controls as...
