I would assume that breakthroughs would occur, but then again, I don't know how much academic research is done on rubik's cubes and cube theory already. Either way, I think it's interesting to think about. When I say "world's best mathematicians," I mean those who are the best in the areas most...

In my calculus II course we have to do a project where we apply integration to some aspect of our lives. We've learned a whole bunch of different applications of integration, including area, volume, work, averages, centroids, moments, arc length, surface area, laminar flow, cardiac output...

So I was thinking, if I calculate the equation for the logarithmic regression of my 3x3 PB averages, what do I get? So I used this website to plug in my data points, with the x value corresponding to AoX and the y value being the time. Since obviously everyone solves at different speeds, meaning...

I've been reading a decent amount of philosophy lately and I've been putting lots of things on my reading list. I like continental phil much more than analytical phil (I don't really like kant, most of the classic philosophers, mill, etc) and I also tend to lean towards the more critical/leftist...

Anyone else here on their school's debate team? I just joined a few weeks ago and I'm really getting into it. My school has a pretty successful debate team, we had two kids go to the TOC last year and many more in the past, plus we are probably going to have someone go next year, if not this...

I'm getting an iPhone 6 as a late birthday present, and I was wondering if anyone has had experience with transferring their timer data to a new device. I currently have a bunch on ongoing sessions with thousands of solves on my iPod 5th gen, and I want to be able to transfer that data to my new...

I'm curious when people got their first sub 10. Or more specifically, at what they averaged when they achieved this. Also, for the people who have an incessant need to vote on every poll, I added a "never" option.

I'm looking to buy a shengshou 8x8, 9x9, or 10x10. White or black, doesn't really matter. I like bright shades, but if the stock shades are on there that's fine. Please, not too expensive, either, use your discretion.

So I was thinking a while ago, there are parities for every type of piece on some cubes, except for corner orientation. So what could be a way to create a parity for CO? Have the corners twist as the cube moves. So the basic concept is that as you turn a face, all of the corners on the face...

So a few days ago I realized that I really need to learn some more algs. And I hate learning algs. But I realized, if you learned an alg a day, you could finish ZBLL in about a year and a half. So, how about we all try to learn more algs by just learning a single one each day? For beginners...

Unless there's some sort of "prom thread," I just figured I'd post this haha. Probably doesn't warrant its own thread, but I just found this pretty funny.

So I basically just have a couple of questions about photography and videography. I actually saw Chris Olson's glidecam video, and I thought that was really cool, so before I knew it I was subscribed to filmriot, I made my own steadicam (pretty nice too, has a gimble and everything, well...

Recently I was thinking to myself, if a method is just a bunch of steps that solve the cube, you could figure out the optimal number of moves for the method just by solving each individual step optimally. So for CFOP, if a cross can be solved optimally in N moves, and each F2L pair can be solved...

Hey, I'm looking for a few things: -A bunch of 2x2s, preferably shishuang, Dayan, wittwo, or lingpo. -A Stackmat timer, (pro or gen2) if you have any other accessories for it as well, (mat, bag, display, etc) let me know. -Some stickers and application tape/tools, for the following...

So I've noticed that there is a lot of confusion in all of the CxLL methods, and I just want to clear some things up for people. So here's the quick guide: 2x2 CLL- Corners of Last Layer. Orients and permutes LL corners. Disregards everything that isn't a corner. Most "destructive" alg set...

I'm starting to like 7x7 a lot more, and I've done a bunch of solves over the past week or so, and I've been averaging around 8-9 minutes, and I feel like there are certain parts of my solves I could be doing much better, but I just can't put a finger on it. Here are my pretty detailed splits...

I decided to post them here as well, maybe you guys could give me some constructive criticism. I use mostly LBL for 2x2, with pretty much all 3x3 algs. I only know one PBL. (adj/adj) For 3x3, I know about 25 OLLs and almost all of the PLLs except 3 G perms, and one N perm. For 4x4, I was going...

I had a quick question about Graham's number, and it's relation to googolplex. So let's say ^[n]^ just means number of power trees, so 5^[5]^5 would be the same as 5^^^^^5. I'm not sure if this is proper power tree notation, but I'll go with it. So let's also say that we had a power tree...

So I really need to start practicing 6x6 and 7x7 more, so I decided to create a thread to encourage people to start doing more big cubes solves! This will be for 6x6 and 7x7. If you want, I could include bigger cubes, but you would have to give me some approximate times that most people would...

Hey guys, I'm a (beginning) youtuber who just wants to help out people who are in the 20-30 second range. I started a series on how to get faster at F2L and I will cover topics like: Tricky F2L cases Rotationless F2L Lookahead Multislotting/Xcross/other advanced techniques This isn't really...
