If you're not writing out the entire string, then didn't Bruce come up with the best result for this already? The 3.6 million move string is can be expressed in compressed (compact) form on a single page (maybe two pages) of paper.

I forgot to mention it, but for those who want to appreciate that statement fully, take a look at this post by Tom Rokicki on the twisty puzzles forum!

Will alg.cubing.net going to stay on the air even after a beta comes out, or do we have to update the links to all the algs in the wiki again?

Maybe having one sufficiently large monitor is best?

That kind of reminds me of this thread. It would be interesting.

Okay, then please provide an example (that's actually relevant to what you were asking) of what an acceptable answer would be to that. If you were saying that but were already biased that any answer other than an apology is the right answer -- then I think I will dismiss your comment. But if...

There is no "nice way" to doubt someone's word. And my posts appear to be harsh because I am rather thorough in my thought process and the points that I'm making. (I leave no stone unturned in order to justify my posts.) Maybe I should spread my thought process out in several posts instead of...

In the past, I made bold claims about doing something that many thought was impossible and showed no proof (well not immediately). I got a lot worse than what you're claiming I am doing here. Now imagine how bad I would have gotten it if I would have both made a bold claim and showed all the...

So if you were driven enough to know absolutely nothing about how to solve a 4x4x4 (and you used no sources, never heard anyone even say the terms "complete the centers", "pair the edges", "solve like a 3x3x3") and you still managed to get this far, if we told you "No, just learn the algorithm"...

I don't know if you're trying to get our attention, but if it is true as you say and it's just a coincidence that you: Named each of the stages of the 3x3x3 Reduction method as to what they are called verbatim Happened to do them in the exact order as the 3x3x3 Reduction method Happened to hear...

Yes, of course. You cannot "hold" tony fisher's large 3x3x3 "in your hands", now can you? I guess I should have said nxnxn since most people may not be familiar with the phrase "cube size" being a synonym for "cube order". People say you don't have to solve PLL parity on the 5x5x5 and larger...

There is a big chance that this was said because the 33x33x33 is the largest physical cube size that you can hold in your hands at the time (if it isn't still at this moment).

At the beginning of the thread he only acknowledged those whom he got ideas from. This makes perfect sense (and it cannot be any other way . . . what he didn't know, he didn't know). But one of the points in my second to last post (which you seemed to have read in part, at least), he did not...

What the community decides as a whole will have to do. I said my peace, and I don't believe that just because no one has made a case about this in the past doesn't mean that they didn't feel the same way. So that's why I started this thread. I didn't mean for it to go this far, but when I am...

Nice argument, but it's based on only one post in a thread which took several turns. (I was hoping whoever decided to respond to that would consider the entire thread, not just read that portion of that one post and tell me that they told me so.) In this post he listed names of people he...

For the time being (I've got to go to work), this is the announcement thread regarding what we currently call the Yau Method. I will potentially be commenting about it later (as well as other threads). But for those who say that "they don't care", I have two things to say to you: This thread...

Not really (in this context). After all, this is just cubing related issues. It's just about a "toy". So no, I don't think lawyers are going to get involved. My only objective is the hope that the name of the method is changed. That's it. (And a secondary purpose of this thread is to let...

Yeah, I think it's straight up theft of intellectual property. Not cool. (And for those who keep mentioning the word "popularizing", didn't you see my post? I was kind of aware of that! And hearing from one person was plenty enough if I wasn't obvious to me.) Not sure how this happened, but...

For those who saw my post in the Community Feedback thread a little while back and wondered why I stated that, this is why. FYI for those who didn't do their research! So is it because Patrick said to pair 4 dedges instead of 3, that merits him 0 credit for what we call the "Yau Method"? Why...

Maybe you need to use Waffle's parity alg instead of the one you're using? (Although off-topic, I show how that algorithm (and Lucas parity and the Redbull) algorithms work in 2010.)
