Congrats! Looks like that was started even before you joined the forums, was this your own idea or had you seen others do this prior? I know I've seen a few other people do 1 yr, 5 yr, etc delayed blindsolves before.

That person did not move onto the next round for some reason other than qualifying time.

Are all EP cases equal probability? I know that's not the case for 3x3 PLL but don't know the math behind it so not sure if that translates over to SQ1.

Also look around your community, near where I used to live there was a community "workroom" of sorts that had a lot of crafting/modeling/hobby tools including 3D printers. It worked on a subscription basis like a gym. Probably not the most common thing to find, but if there does happen to be...

This probably isn't a point of confusion but just in case it is based on your last comment: you don't need to wait for a cue to start your solve when you're done with inspection. You could start immediately if you wanted to.

Don't see LL skips that often. Completely unforced, can't remember the last time I got one. 6.12 U R2 F2 U2 R2 U B2 U2 F2 R2 D F2 R' U' F L2 B2 R U B2 F z2 D R2 D2 R L F' L' D' U R' U' R U y R' U R y' U R U' R2 U R y' R' U' R y' U' R' U R U' R' U R U'

I actually glanced up at the post date to make sure I wasn't reading a necro'd post from 2011. Do you have access to cubes made at any point in the last 5 years? But serious answer, as many people have pointed out there is no good way to determine intent. Rules and laws can only govern things...

This is a very cliche response, but you currently don't know what you don't know. From your account age it seems obvious that you are pretty new to cubing, which is not an issue because everyone is at some point. It does, however, mean that you haven't had the opportunity to see evidence of the...

You all keep throwing out that 900 number off of somebody's random guess but has anyone actually verified that? I'm thinking 22 x 22 = 484 algs, no? Mirror cases U/D might cut that even further. Still a lot but you're getting closer to the point of identifying good subsets to pick and learn. Now...

Instead of thinking of left and up etc, it is clockwise for each face. " U " is clockwise when looking at the U face, and " U' " is counterclockwise. x, y, and z rotations follow R, U, and F moves respectively. Example using your left/right/up/down notation (but move on from that as quickly as...

How does that work? Doesn't a y or y' rotation mess up eo, thus turning your solve into CFOP-begun-with-a-restricted cross? To my understanding that would happen with multislotting as well. Maybe I am missing something but neither of those seem like they would be great options.

Trying to get rid of some old puzzles since I don't do a lot of cubing anymore. Gen 3 Stackmat and timer $15 Moyu Weilong WRM $10 Entire collection in photo besides what's above $15 (sold)...

I see you did end up using that color scheme swap option you mentioned earlier. Must be neat to have that ability in the software, and handy for your different solving orders.

Not being familiar with ultra-big cube strategies, what is meant by 'cleaning'? From the image it's obviously denoting the change from a totally jumbled face to the obviously green face; how is the 'static' left behind determined, aka is the solver initially drawing from only four other faces or...
