Old news, but this didn't get as much interest as I was hoping for.
Me (Peter Greenwood) and Ravi Fernando solved a 100x100x100 computer cube in December-January earlier this year. It took 34 Days, 4 Hours, 13 Minutes, 11.22 seconds. While we called it a "team-solve", we didn't switch off...
I don't remember much before cubing, but I do remember getting my first cube. All i could think about was getting home and playing with it. I never did learn to solve it on my own, try as I might. Eventually I knew the method from the booklet cover to cover, with a few of my changes thrown in...
If you are looking for more extentions than the ones at mozilla.com, check out this site: http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/20...-power-surfing/. I am currently using alot of those suggestions and have been for a while.
This is too general. Most of the time all I work with is free software, so I have come across a lot that I like. It really depends on what category you are talking about, but a few of my favorites are Firefox, Crimson Editor. I have tons more I use alot, but after those it gets very difficult to...
What do you get when you mulitply your PB single time (non-lucky) for 3x3 by the number of algorithms you knew (for that method) at that time. 19.42 * 21 = 407.82 for me. What are yours?
I believe it is actually turning the 5x5 that makes your 3x3 times better. At rutgers, I helped out scrambling 5x5 cubes, while doing second round 3x3. My second round times were excellent! The only reason I can think of is that your hands become pumped from turning the not so loose 5x5, and...
I think of it as a 3x3x3 without edges. Imagine you have already solved cross, and you are now doing F2L, but without edges. Then orient the last layer, but ignore the non-existant edges. Then permute with a 3 cycle or y-perm.
Thats what I do, but its not very fast. If you want to get faster...
I had the same problem, so I "borrowed" some from Stefan's page. I ended up with WO having no name, so I named it a whitehole. :)
Heres the list of my names: http://cube.ionws.com/peter/Misc/names.dat
WG is crossed out because I never use it. Also remember that corners can use the same names as...
If you are using pochmann's, memorize in the order you solve in, edges then corners. I use a story to memorize the pieces. This method can be found on his site: http://www.stefan-pochmann.de/spocc/blindsolving/3x3/
