Hallo speedsolving.com, Over the past 12 months I've been piecing together my thoughts on speedsolving (the 3x3) from a variety of different angles - direct advice on CFOP itself (ground-up to high level); my research on deliberate practice and expertise; thoughts about flow; cubing and...

I realised that PLL prediction during the middle of OLL is one of the main problems people have when trying to get 'Fazt'. So: - User inputs (or selects) the OLL algorithms they use for each case - Software looks at the last 3-6 moves of each OLL - Then for each case (the last 3-6 moves of...

As of writing there are 6/21 threads on the front page (usually more) that contain basically no new content for those not already interested or involved in the thread. By that I mean the 'Race to x' threads, or 'the x thread' where x = 'lubrication' or 'awkward case' etc etc. I was thinking...

Last night I had a couple of solves where the f2l ended with the really crappy f2l case with a placed and solved corner and placed but flipped edge. So I decided to generate a bunch of algs. This f2l case usually takes 11 moves to solve and really sucks. Apparently all of the 1FE cases take...

I really suck at getting sub 9 on cam. Got a 9.23 avg on cam later, which was also fail. I promise to try to attempt to not be suck and get something good this week <3 Times:

Finally something okay, gonna try and sub 9 soon... Average of 12: 9.48 1. (7.94) B' L B2 L' B F R' D' R2 U F D2 B2 D2 B R' D2 U' B L2 B' D U2 F U 2. 9.18 D2 L2 U' B L' F B L U' F2 B' L F' B L U' F' U' F U2 B F2 D B2 F 3. 8.96 D2 L2 D' F B' D' F2 L D2 B2 U F' L' B R2 U F2 L' F2 B L' F L2...

I've been wanting to make this thread for a while since it's something that plenty of people don't really seem to 'get'. Although I'll mostly be using 3x3 and CFOP as my basis for examples, I'll try to keep each rule or guide as generalisable as possible to other methods and puzzles. In...

9.83 avg: 9.51, 9.34, (13.20), 10.10, 8.61, 12.21, 7.87, (6.87), 10.34, 8.30, 12.00, 10.07 ... 12.93, 8.46, DNF(8.07). 8.84 avg5 from (12), 7, (6), 10, 8. 6 was PLL skip, rest either decent & NL or a terrible fail (hence the 2 counting 12s). DNF made me want to crey, if I had just...

A bit like the last thread I made, this guide is going to be text-based and the thinking behind each solve will be more complicated than that which anybody does in a normal speedsolve. The basic idea of this post is to teach you how to recognise the orientation of f2l edges and also how to...

So I've been thinking of making something like this for ages and now I have to actually do some work here it is. For brevity's sake a couple of these solves will not be my normal approach and include way more tricks, but I'll make sure a couple are genuine speedsolves. Most of these tricks...

Finally! after a million 30.xx and 31.xx... first sub 30 on video and 2nd fastest ever(?) I think i could do sub 27 if i had a good cube and practiced a bit. btw i'm not "back", i still dont practice. Just felt like making a surprise video:P Your move Sajima :P (sorry about the keyboard...

Rowan - 10.49 avg of 12, with 9.76 avg of 5 I love Django. Only good track apart from Chuck Berry on Audioswap, since Sony didn't approve of my use of Bob Dylan. Average of 12: 10.49 1. 9.85 L2 R2 B U2 F' U2 F U' L' B' U B' F2 R2 D2 F' L D R D L2 D2 U2 R U' 2. (13.80) L' R D F2 L2 B' R'...

The 2nd of May is Charlotte Cooper's Birthday. Congratulations :D I think a video montage needs to be produced, or at least some nice links.

Hi, I'd like to buy an A-V from anybody in the UK. If you're interested in selling one, please send me a PM/post here with a price in mind. I'm willing to haggle too :D Thanks very much, Rowan

38.09 37.83pp 55.53dp 48.46 39.47op = 42.01 nice :D

EDIT: The scariest thing is that 3/4 of the 9s in this average could've been much better. I expect sub 8.50 in a few months 0_o

and then I got this...
