So, you switch buffers in 3style (at new cycles, or whatever. That's not really what I got from my search after A Leman's post)? How would memo for that work? (Anything special?)
:fp
Derp, my bad. Funny I look at the wiki and forget to simply search the forum itself. Thanks, though. Both...
Ha! Derp; I feel stupid now. Thanks for that.
Just as a note: the group here in Vancouver generally meet at least once a month for a (totally casual) 'cube meet,' where we would go to a predetermined mall, hang out at the food court and bring out puzzles/timers and just hang out all day...
@Mike Hughey: Wow, I never even considered changing rooms. Thanks. My memo still takes really long in comparison to what I see on the forums (2-3 min). Interesting bit of information. Many thanks. I guess I'll have to go about changing the way I memo (a little bit), too.
Eh, if there's any African country to host one, it's more than likely to be South Africa, methinks. I think they/we could accumulate a significant enough amount of people to host a small competition eventually, as long as we make it clear that there is a South African speedsolving community...
Greetings, DonnyStar!
I'm a South African, from the relatively small town of George, in the Western Cape, currently residing in Canada. I think it's great that cubing is growing there and despite no longer actually living there, would love to be involved with your group. Why don't we form a...
All right. Sounds good. I think what I'll do then is do time attacks as I make my list (one day, write out 18 buffer-x-other comms, and time attack them, then next day, write out 18 buffer-y-other comms, and time attack them, and so on). Will require more patience, as I don't purely focus on the...
I know the question is for Noah, but... It looks like the commutator you have there actually solves ULB > FDR > LFD, not ULB > RDF > FDL. This is because of your insert. I would personally use [F' U2 F, D] to solve this case.
Also, for URB > RDF > FDL:
Thank you very much, Mike Hughey and A Leman. I think the issue isn't as much understanding the commutators as much as it is thinking of them quickly. I'm fairly familiar with commutators (especially as a K4 user), except maybe cyclic shifts (I'm not very familiar with the terminology).
@Mike...
So, I've been keeping myself busy learning full BH (thanks to all the help on these forums), and am also in the process of creating my own full list of cycles (about 1/4 way done. I find it very helpful to write one rather than just to look at one by someone else). I certainly know enough to at...
Well, I've decided to switch to full freestyle comms. My times are now suffering.
session avg: 1:35.44 (σ = 21.14)
Individual times:
2:03.69, 1:20.63, 1:25.15, 1:35.89, 1:26.28, 2:09.57, 57.84, 1:19.42, 46.07, 1:40.57, 1:55.38, DNF(1:05.71)
I used to think I was good at commutators until I...
