If it's 60% or above, that starts to become the environment for mold/fungus to start to multiply = bad for your health. If the relative humidity in your home is 65%, that's definitely a lot . . . enough that you need to take action to change (see the second half of this post). An air condition...

The table on page 41 of this PDF (you can read a little of the background of the author from this post) is showing the mean move counts which were the results of 10,000 solves using different variants of Fridrich (CFOP). The first sentence of the bottom paragraph on page 8 reads: So it is...

EDIT: But I guess you can interpret this in two different ways. (People who think of "just one edge flipped" when thinking of last layer yellow cross edges after F3L.) But I took the wording of his question literally.

Just so that people (who would get confused by this) don't get confused, Lucas Parity: r U2 x r U2 r U2 r' U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 r' U2 r' The old standard alg: 2R2 B2 U2 2L U2 2R' U2 2R U2 F2 2R F2 2L' B2 2R2 He was asking for an algorithm which just flips the dedge. These are not the same...

To add, if you want to create patterns in which there are large blocks of pieces redistributed in different parts of the cube, than you can actually use Cube Explorer to find the shortest solution. (Cube Explorer can be used to solve just the corners or just the edges, separately. See this...

Even if that's the case, what does that matter to him? He's the one who asked the question. He's the one who gets to decide what's best for him. If the well-known algorithms are easy for you to learn, good for you. That doesn't mean that the alternative algorithms I provided are not exactly...

Don't you think that it's very possible that he has seen those (since they are all around the internet)? He's clearly looking for an alternative to the well-known algs. They are not what he defines as "easy". So it's called "Drew" now? How did that come to be?

He specifically mentioned that he's not interested in speed . . .

It probably cannot get any easier than something like these: Uw' m F U' 2R' U F2 U' 2R' U F2 U' 2R' U F2 U' 2R' U F2 U' 2R' U F2 F m' Uw [Link] Uw L' R L' U' 2R U L U2 L' U' 2R U L U2 L' U' 2R U L U2 L' U' 2R U L U2 L' U' 2R U L U2 U2 L R' Uw' [Link] Uw' L' R R2 U' 2R U R2 U2 R2 U' 2R U R2 U2...

This method does not avoid OLL parity anymore than Cage does (which it doesn't). You have to handle it in L5W step. (Some of the algs are 4-cycles = OLL parity. We consider pure Double Parity to be OLL Parity, don't we? Double Parity is a 4-cycle!) What I mentioned in point #1 in this post...

Conjugated commutators are probably the easiest approach to doing anything like this. You can simply use variants and conjugations of Niklas to handle any case. I don't know if you have seen my video Easy Beginner Tutorial on Rubik's Cube Commutators, but it may help you to get the general...

Maybe someone can create a bot which searches the web for every possible transformation of an algorithm and view the results that it gives. (Just as a start.)

Yeah, that will be the biggest challenge. This will have to be a community effort (and a several year project, since people are inactive some years and active in others). You would have to literally put a list of algorithms somewhere that everyone can access, and then people can post a URL...

I like where you're going with this! I find it great to be able to seek out the first mention of an algorithm that we know of today. But of course we need to also consider all transformations of an algorithm too, otherwise we may miss out identifying the earliest occurrence of the algorithm...

It didn't break when I tested it just now, so it looks like it's fixed! Thanks!

@Lucas Garron When I clicked on the link to the pattern that Per found an algorithm to in your post on twistypuzzles, this happened. (This is the puzzle vanishing bug from before, only this time, the puzzle disappears without spinning it. Just gently turning it! You can see where I am...

No offense, but this thread is about combinations on other puzzles. So continuously bring up the nxnxn is off-topic. There are plenty of threads on the combinations of the nxnxn. And this thread is certainly not about fascination with weird names given to large integers. Thanks!

Okay, this is an off-topic film scene that popped into my head when I read this question. But the term that you want to google is "pillowed". You will find explanations much more easily using that keyword. For example, From the wiki, [Link] And here's a random reddit discussion about the...

This doesn't sound like a good long-term resolution; but, if you are certain that the NaN error is only caused by (and will only ever be caused by) our superman turning speed of the puzzles, then it will suffice! (Just be careful!) I had no idea that Firefox on Windows was actually a special...

It should be very easy to replicate. Just try to spin the puzzle as fast as you can. A few times should do it (if not just once).
