When putting magnets into a cube, one has to take care that the orientation of every pair magnets is correct. If you put a pair of magnets in reversed, then in many unsolved positions, some of the magnets will be repelling while others are attracting. This makes the solved position of the cube...

I thought there would be some interest in a project I have been working on for the past few days. http://www.speedcub.es searches four of the most popular speedcube shops at the same time. I will eventually add more shops, but currently I want to keep it to shops that have free shipping to the...

Hello all, I'm happy to finally announce a project I've been working on for a couple months. I have teamed up with David Adams to resurrect the Sunday Contest (again)! But this time, it has been given a fresh look and been fully automated with ruby on rails! In addition, Michael Gottlieb has...

Seeing how many mistakes and pauses I made makes me believe that sub 10 averages are easily possible by people who are actually good at 3x3. Gopros are fun.

Hooray!

I'm a senior in high school this year and I'm having trouble finding a good senior quote for the yearbook, so I thought I'd ask the SS forum. I have no idea how long its supposed to be or when it's due, but it's due soon. gogogogogo

This average could have been faster, but I suck. I accidentally the last solve so I had to spend 30 minutes trying to recover this file.. lol 10.16, 9.98, 13.18, 10.67, 10.41

Pretty good average of 5. Second fastest online next to Michal. Of course he had a good average of 12 too... (13.10), 14.78, 13.89, 13.97, (19.82)

I didn't get my 9.16 or my good OH average on camera. I'm a little late uploading this. I know. Shut up.

My first two solves of my last competition OH average were similar to the first two solves in this video. Just 4-5 seconds slower :( I hate how my fail solves at home are still way faster than comp PB.

IcKb3lQXgv8&playnext_from=TL&videos=33UtfG0FfTk&feature=sub I thought this video was pretty funny. XD (And also a great average.)

I hope I'm starting/stopping the timer correctly. Meh I rarely/never do it this fast in solves anyway.

16.83, 21.12, 20.13, 24.53, 19.70, 19.27, 17.75, 18.58, (27.42), 18.75, 15.73, (14.28) = 19.24 The last 5 solves was a 17.69 Average which ties with Rowe's official average :P Too bad I suck in comp. On the 24, I did the wrong OLL. >.< Timer fail on the first solve, I undid the move I did...

Yay. A couple months ago I was barely sub 100. Big mess-up on the Z perm, but I kept going because I really liked the U perms. I need to work on my stamina so I don't fail on the last 2 G perms. That's my new Haiyan cube that I won at Caltech.

As far as I know, people that know COLL use it when all the LL edges are oriented correctly. I think that the problem with this, is that some of the COLL algs are slow, compared to the alg that you would do otherwise if you did not know COLL. So what about using COLL when all edges are...
