    Need an X-cube internal +center piece

    The first competition in which I used my new x-cube I improved my average from 1:13.xx to 1:03.xx in the first round. But sadly I had an explosive pop in the final and was never able to find all the pieces. I'm now missing a single piece. It's an internal piece which relates to the + center on a...

    Partial edge control for cross on left

    I'm looking into doing some parital edge control in my CFOP solves. I've looked at a lot of the common tricks for inserting the last pair while avoiding the dot OLL's, but they are designed for F2L with cross on buttom. These don't work well for cross on left, at least not for me (U F' U' F :(...

    CLLEF, the evil twin of COLL

    I like to use COLL for my fridrich solves and I know that there are a few people out there who does too. An argument not to use COLL is that COLL algorithms take longer to execute than the relevant OLL's. That's when an idea came to me... What are the OLL's that most people hate. For me it's...

    How would you solve this scramble (left cross)?

    I’ve been trying to improve my f2l which I do with cross on left by looking at some speedsolve videos. Problem is that most left cross videos are shots from competitions making it very hard to analyze the solves. So inspired by another thread I’m hoping that some left cross solvers would try...

    Orient First method

    I've been messing around with the idea of an orient first method (3x3) for a few weeks. I don't know if the idea is original, but anyway here is a link for a guide I wrote on the idea. http://www.speedcubing.dk/index.php?view=category&id=40%3Aadvanced&option=com_content&Itemid=58 I think...

    Edge parity 4x4 blind

    I solve 4x4 blind using simple commutators for both edges and centers. A buffer/helper method I learned from the "How-to" section. When I encounter parity with edges using this method, I.e the buffer and helper needs switching, I use this alg: r2 B2 U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 F2 r F2 l' B2 r2...

    Tips for F2L cross on left

    This is not to debate if you should keep cross on left or buttom. There are plenty of threads on that topic and I've already decided to do cross on left. I'm looking for tips from some sub20 cubers who do the f2l with cross on left. Like... - do you try to always insert at pairs at UF...

    First succesfull timed solve...

    I've been having a hard time learning this blindfold solving. I use 3-cycles and I find the technic easy enough to understand, but it's taking me months to get stable enough to start timing my attempts. Especially in the beginning my memorisation was failing a lot due to the stress of the...

    Fluid motion or fingertrick bursts?

    I've got a question on how to perform algs the fastest (especially PLL algs). When you find algs on the net they are almost always seperated into fingertricks and when I try to study videos of fast solves or instructional videos it looks to me that most people perform the algs like bursts of...

    Danish speedcubing community?

    Speedcubing seems to be lacking in Denmark for some reason, but I'm trying to find other danes and maybe set up a danish speedcubing community to help improve the generel interest of speedcubing in our country. So...are there any danes out there? If your not danish I would still like to...
