    Let's talk about Petrus

    Several years ago, I popularized the term "The Big Four," in reference to what I, at the time, thought were the four most powerful speedcubing methods. http://stachu.cubing.net/rants/methodrantings.html Petrus was always 4th place in my head, and I considered it inferior to the other methods...

    How do y'all represent EP as (EP_U, EP_D, EP_E separately)?

    Not sure whether this belongs in Puzzle Theory or Software Area. In any case, it seems most cube solving programs try to store the position of a cube initially as: CP, CO, EP, EO. [CO has 3^7 possibilities.] [CP has 12!/2 possibilities] [EO has 2^11 possibilities] [EP has 12!/2 possibilities]...

    I've been cubing for six years.

    http://blog.stachu.net/?cat=6 Just a rant. I'll repeat the end question here: does anyone else feel a certain degree of passion for the subject, and despises the apparent complacency, or am I alone in my feelings here? I used to feel like people really cared - now the age of the average cuber...

    AlgDb.NET

    I got an idea a LONG time ago to make a proper algorithm database. I finally have the time and competency to do it. This will be a full replacement of and improvement upon the SS Wiki, pages of printable PDFs (Sorry Andy Klise!), BOCA Database, and most every other algorithm database currently...

    zzTimer

    It's just like qqTimer, but I took 90% of it out and now it will generate scrambles that have 'n' flipped edges! Original creds go to qqwref. http://www.stachu.net/cubing/zzTimer Next version will display a few optimal EOLine solutions below the timer (or somewhere) (optional) Hopefully...

    If cubing were your full-time job, what would you do to train?

    Let's say you got paid to sit at a desk and train your cubing skills. Your salary is based off of your 3x3 2H, OH, and BLD speeds (faster times = more money) and you can not switch jobs. It's a typical job that requires you to be in the office 40 hours a week, Monday-Friday. What do you do...

    Woo 3 lines now! (Before: Stop trying to evade signature restraints.)

    When you're creating a signature, evading the two-line limit is not funny, cool, or clever. Using [INDENT] a few times in order to evade this is very obvious to mods, and we have this system set in place for a reason. You will get an infraction if you obviously evade these restraints, and we...

    What software do we need?

    We have plenty of timers, some solvers, and a few tools here and there. There's also a https://github.com/cubing. What software have you, as an individual, wanted, but it's not available? As I see it now, people are only develop for self-induced purposes. They want a script, they make it...

    [Discussion] Alternatives to F2L Pairs

    I don't think enough research has been done here. This is under the assumption that the cross has been made and you want to reduce the cube to LL within 3-4 steps. One suggestion; 2corners, 2edges, 2 corners, 2 edges. There must be something here we've neglected, no? Let's expand...

    Marble Hornets

    Basically, Slenderman was thought up for a photoshop contest in 2009, and this video series (Marble Hornets, unrelated name) is just to show an idea of what the creature may actually be like. The wiki for it (independent from the video maker) supposes that the videos are actually valid, and...

    Software representations of the cube?

    If you have access to any virtual implementations of the state of a Rubik's Cube, please post them here. What I'm looking for here is just a class that represents a cube, with some functions allowing turning the pieces. It'd be nice to have a collection of these in each language, so...
