    I performed a successful official FMC attempt with no cubes. I did it in 37 moves.

    Yesterday, during FMC Europe 2018, I managed to get an official successful FMC attempt without using any cubes or stickers (or a scramble for that matter), using only tools provided by the judge. We were handed pens, blank sheets, solution sheets, and scramble cutouts, but I chose not to reveal...

    [Help Thread] Skewb Discussion and Help

    I'm currently working on an online solver (in a browser), but I don't know when it would be ready. Anyway it should be ready rather soon.

    That alg for peanut I do without regrips. Before start my thumbs lay on the front centers, index and middle fingers on the back centers, ring and pinky fingers on the bottom face. I don't know if it's an optimal way to do this, for me it is quite comfortable, but I'm not very fast so that may be...

    [Help Thread] Skewb Discussion and Help

    You're right, I forgot about the bottom center. I think that 2 gens can be even better in skewb than 3x3, because you often don't need to do any regripping (similar case in pyraminx). But it's just a theory, I'm not fast enough to prove it empirically. Although some 2 gen algs can be not that...

    [Help Thread] Skewb Discussion and Help

    When I purchased skewb I wanted to be able to solve it, but not necessarily in shortest time. So I developed a simple method with only 2 algorithms. Today I checked a method on the Meep's site, especially the peanut case. I think I found a better algorithm (it's 2 gen.): R' L R L' R L' R' L...

    [Help Thread] ZZ and ZB Discussion

    Regarding breakdowns, I have average sub 20, but that isn't pure ZZ. I'm in the process of switching to blockbuilding, but I still have better times when I do EOCross. Would my breakdowns be helpful?

    Translation: [Maskow]: Ladies and gentlemen, in front of me lies 24 Rubik's cubes. Each of them is scrambled in different way and now, for judges, I'm gonna solve 3 cubes. Mrs. Małgosia, please give me number from 1 to 24. [Małgosia - judge]: 18. [Maskow]: Mr. Robert, please choose number from...

    ZZ trivia: Did you know that on average you need less moves to make EOLine from 8 disoriented edges than from 6?

    What method do you use? (poll)

    Hehe, no big deal, especially when there are so few ZB users. I bet that all cubers who voted for ZZ/ZB are ZZ solvers.

    What method do you use? (poll)

    To the creator of the poll (ZZ and ZB user counts are aggregated).

    What method do you use? (poll)

    ZB is more similar to CFOP than to ZZ. So why do you group ZB with ZZ?

    WCA has now banned stickerless cubes for BLD. Thoughts?

    I'd like to post some of my thoughts and opinions on this subject: Some said that you can avoid rotating cube while memorizing in BLD with the colored cubes. I don't agree with that. Although I'm not a top BLD cuber, I think that the delicate tint of shadow in a colorful environment doesn't...
