    [Member Intro] Hi from a redditor

    I didn't even know they make 21x21x21's! Nice! Edit. For those who are confused, clearly you didn't view his collection.

    Cubers who also speedrun?

    If a thread is bumped for a good reason, then there is nothing wrong about it. And I don't understand why people's opinions from 2 years ago are no longer valid because 2 years has passed. And at least one other former participant and I don't see the problem with this thread being bumped. We...

    What videogames to you like to play?

    I do admit that I didn't read any of the previous posts (yet). But just in case no one mentioned the thread Cubers who also speedrun?, I think that's a relevant topic!

    Stadler 4x4

    When I used to solve the 4x4x4 often, I used K4, which from the sound of it, sounds like they share the same edge algs. For example, I remember making corrections to Kenneth's Big Cube Method's last layer edge algs (a variant of Stadler... or should I say Stadler is a variant of KBCM) on our...

    What Does Everyone Think Is The Biggest Change In Speedcubing From 2010?

    It could be too simple of an observation, but hardly anyone gets excited when new WRs are set (compared to like they did back then). Back then, if someone got a WR, it was like a hurricane was coming. But now it's just like, "oh, another afternoon thunderstorm".

    Community Feedback: how can the site improve?

    And if they feel the need to include a lot of content in the signature, they can simply provide a link to a post(s) for people to view as an alternative. For example (as you know in my case), Cubing Contribution Hyperlink Thread (to Reduce Signature Size). (The link in my signature goes to that...

    Unpopular Opinions thread.

    I just saw this thread! Well, mine is simple. My unpopular opinion is that posts on these forums that are longer than 1 sentence shouldn't require a TLDR version! That, if it takes someone 1 hour to write a post and it takes you 5 minutes to read it, that you respect the writer's time by not...

    Yiheng's Mom slapping Yiheng in Public

    So you agree that hitting a child (for discipline) is okay, but just not in public? And if so, why? If anything, that makes her most likely not a hypocritical person. You act as though he is one of the top cubers in the world...because his mother will beat him to death if he isn't! I'm...

    Yiheng's Mom slapping Yiheng in Public

    If it was for the middle finger only, then I don't see what the problem is. If that (the middle finger) is the reason, it's none of our business, period. (And I don't understand why the cubing community is talking about this at all.) This post is assuming that at least part of the reason was...

    Yiheng's Mom slapping Yiheng in Public

    Wait, she slapped him for not solving the cube fast enough or for giving the middle finger gesture? (Or did she slap him twice?)

    How to stay focused with cubing?

    You made cubing your religion to stick with it? (Cuber07 wasn't asking who cubes the most often, so I had to assume that's what you meant.)

    How to stay focused with cubing?

    If you aren't referring to speedcubing and just playing with the cube, then try to learn how to solve it with different methods (or try to make your own). Learn to be more efficient (use fewer moves). If you like math, then view the cube as a mathematical object (and try to relate it to math)...

    How to create algorithms ?

    It sounds like you're interested in 2 corner swap PLL parity algorithms? If so, I summarized what I know about them with 10 Ways to Swap Two Corners on a 4x4x4. (There are links you can follow from that post... and follow those links to other links.) From 2009-2013, I was developing parity...

    How to create algorithms ?

    If you are not using a solver, then yes. I recommend messing around with a virtual cube like CubeTwister so that you can reset the cube as often as you like (save a lot of time). (It's powered by Java, so you may have to reduce security settings on your computer to be able to use it. It does...

    I know how we can make the cubing community EXPLODE

    I wrote a handful of posts like this in the past and only do this once in a while, due to the headache it gives me (both in writing it, and with the feedback I receive afterwards). The content in this post shifts from one aspect to another, so for those who can actually read, just bare with me...

    Introducing Twizzle (alpha)

    I found another cause of parsing error. When there is no space between a repeated sequence (that is in parenthesis) and a parenthesis of another part of the algorithm. For example, (r B' z')(2R' F U2 F')4 2R' (z B r') will not parse, but (r B' z') (2R' F U2 F')4 2R' (z B r') will. I added the...

    Introducing Twizzle (alpha)

    Wow, yeah, in your previous post, it sounded like you are currently importing a package of which much of it you don't use. Not sure if this is exactly what you're trying to accomplish (mimic real-life mixture of pigment colors) ... or this dependency's size (I'm not at all familiar with...

    Introducing Twizzle (alpha)

    Just looking at the "example solves" in various pages in the wiki, yeah, I think content like that could benefit the most. (Like the embed feature being used for those... not with long alg sets.) I actually just thought about that today. But if you (as an administrator) can see how many views...
