Search results

Already done. (Added a space.)

And speaking of color codes, @Lucas Garron , I recently found an online calculator that finds the closest 3 digit color code to an inputted 6 digit one. You (of all people) probably know about algorithms like that, but just in case you didn't, and such a change would save memory/space, etc...

Yeah, just googling (without quotes): The first search result states: So according to that, P(someone can solve the 3x3x3 cube) is approximately 29/500. (There are A LOT of people who can solve the cube who never participated in a competition, and I'm guessing that percentage is going to...

When integrating this into the wiki pages involving 4x4x4 algorithms, I noticed that the algorithm will not parse with comments if there isn't at least one space between the // and the comment algorithm. For example, try running this algorithm for the 4x4x4: L R U2 L' R' U' L R U2 L2 x' U B2...

Instructions followed. Now pages that use Template:Alg6 (currently 4x4x4 parity algorithms) and Template:Alg4b (currently 4Z4 Method and ZZ44 Method) go to alpha.twizzle.net instead of cubing.net. (Better late than never!)

I have also updated the template that 4Z4 Method and ZZ44 Method use so that their printable version is at least not hindered by the "algorithm bar" template that they now use (Alg4b). In addition, I have added the line of code to the very beginning of their page code: <div...

I notified our beloved @rokicki about me updating this wiki page. After he looked at it, he suggested that I removed the urls (from the algorithm rows/bars) from the printout. One thing led to another and ... go check out the printable version! (You can remove the headers/footers by the...

Hey everyone! I upgraded https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php?title=4x4x4_parity_algorithms to have a (much needed, IMO) DARK theme! I also fixed the previously messed up abundance of vertical spaces. FYI. And don't worry. The "printable version" wasn't good before anyway. (And I...

From Lemma 4 and Lemma 5 from my post, another way to look at it is that we cannot isolate a corner in the U or R face using only < R, U > moves. In other words, we cannot do 2-cycle or a 3-cycle of corners using only < R, U > moves. That will effectively reduce the number of possible corner...

Here is something also irrelevant to this thread, but at least it holds a similar theoretical idea: Inversion by Conjugation. You can actually invert a move sequence that generates an nxnxn cube scramble by conjugating it! But the catch is (and why it's relevant to this topic, especially to...

That's correct. Even on the 3x3x3, where it may appear that some positions should be 2-gen friendly (solvable with only <R, U> moves), they are not. (Fun fact: For the <F, F', F2, B, B', B2, L, L', L2, R, R', R2> 3x3x3 move set, you are able to do a U or U' move, but a 4 edges must be...

I won't hold you to that, as it's a lot of content! But yeah, 2-gen is not very practical for much of anything for big cubes . . . Maybe if you reduce a fully scrambled big cube to become in a commonly restricted move set like 2-gen (which is very hard to do), then maybe it may be interesting...

Oh boy do I have a video series for you! (About odd parity algorithms, but I did need to come up with commutators for most cases addressed.) I spent a lot of time figuring this stuff out in the past! (Watch videos in sequence, as the content is mostly cumulative.) But also see this thread...

And since you realize that reduction parity occurs on all cube sizes, it's important to note that, should you be interested to find algorithms for big cube edges or centers, to not make the mistake of just testing them on even cubes . . . because even cubes are more "lenient". It's better to...

Hi. First of all, I have been (well, I haven't been into cubing that much for the past 4 years or so) interested in K4 off and on since 2008. Here's a capture of the original K4 webpage that was probably published in 2006 (if interested)! But okay. Firstly, you can look at this webpage that...

The cube through a cube pattern is a really nice one that I and two others collectively came up with this algorithm to create it. Here is the algorithm translated to the 7x7x7...

Out of curiosity, did you view the page since I added the Quick Navigation section at the beginning? And if so, how do you propose it be changed? (BTW, I have heard several people say that it is one of the best pages in the wiki. So I'm surpised to hear the other extreme.)

For 4x4x4, how about one which flips a single dedge . . . but literally looks like a complete scramble of the cube half way through. First half (Pause and show them it at this point . . . and make sure that they were aware that a single dedge was flipped before applying), Second half. This...
