Hey guys, what's up? This is a follow-up thread to Calculating the Number of K4 "OLLs" on an nxnxn Cube. TLDR of that thread: @cuBerBruce ultimately was the one to find a method to find the number of OLLs there are on the nxnx in the 14th post. I wrote this paper to help to visualize his...

I have been wanting to ask this question for several weeks to those that live in (and also those who have recently visited) Australia, but I guess when I saw this video today, I had more of a motivation to ask if human rights are being taken away to this extreme in Australia (due to covid).

For those who saw my post in the Community Feedback thread a little while back and wondered why I stated that, this is why. FYI for those who didn't do their research! So is it because Patrick said to pair 4 dedges instead of 3, that merits him 0 credit for what we call the "Yau Method"? Why...

When I go to My Content to see my past postings, I see that there are two tabs to view "results" from. Google Search Results and Community Search Results. I never see any "results" (my posts) show up with Google Search Results, but yet that is the default tab that is selected. So @pjk, if...

I searched this subforum for threads related to the topic on maximum cyclic order for the 3x3x3. One of the best threads that was started was Possible orders of Rubik's Cube positions. Of course, to calculate maximum order, we need to be able to calculate all possible orders (which is more...

I noticed the url format of links to specific post numbers has changed since the upgrade. As a result, clicking on previous links that I made all go to the first post of the thread. (This is especially bad for mega threads.) I would just like to ask if the format is going to change again in...

Dear all, I begin by saying that I am not complaining, but I mean well for our current community and for our future community. I have been skimming through the general cubing discussion and off-topic forums the past day or so, just seeing if I can dig up some good threads out of the bunch...

Although I found it funny at the beginning, I'm seeing more and more users putting a fake YouTube channel link in their profile box on the forums, and now it's getting annoying. Is there a way to add a filter upon inputting a channel url to know if the url users actually put a real YouTube...

Hi everyone. Several members (including myself) have chosen to make our signatures simply consist of links to speedsolving threads, personal websites, and other external sites. I propose this thread to be a tool in which all speedsolving members can use to put as many hyperlinks he or she...

(Mods, feel free to move this where appropriate.) The Dream Ever since I saw the fake reverse scramble 100x100x100 video, I was consumed with an unquenchable desire to actually create a method which satisfies the "fantasy" of solving the nxnxn Rubik's cube in such a manner. A method where...

We already know what God's Number is for just solving corners because we already know God's Number for the 2x2x2. I know the superflip is at minimum 20 moves (as is God's Number for the entire 3x3x3), but would it require fewer moves if we didn't worry about solving back corners? How about the...

If we were to find a way to find an optimal solution for any given scramble on the nxnxn cube or any other order of any twisty puzzle that exists without brute force methods (and I'm talking about within our lifetime), what real-world problems of today could be solved? What real-world processes...

Introduction As most of you know, Brest came to speedsolving.com not too long ago and quickly began to do reconstructions of solves for many cubers. We have a few other members who type up nice reconstructions to solves as well. I have known how to solve the 3x3x3 for 8 years now (the 4x4x4...

I did some research on cycle classes, and I have come up with a simple formula which can be used as a tool to aid us in determining the percentage of possible configurations which are/are not acceptable scrambles. Before I explain what I have done so far in its entirety, I'll give an example...

A little while ago, cuBerBruce found the following four (34 qtm, 26 ftm) move solutions with k-solve: Rw U Rw' U Rw' U' Rw2 U Rw2 U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw' U Rw' U' Rw U Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U' Rw U' Rw U Rw2 U' Rw2 U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw U' Rw U Rw' U' Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw' U' Rw U' Rw U' Rw2 U2 Rw2...

(If this thread should be in another forum, mods feel free to move it where it fits best. I wasn't sure.) I was looking at the PLL Page in the wiki, and I decided to rewrite all 2-cycle cases as commutators and conjugates (along with the extra quarter turn, of course) (one or two algorithms...

If I was new to the forums, I would be overwhelmed with the amount of threads and posts in each thread. Suggestion Now this is just a suggestion, but can a group of dedicated members make a superthread for each main topic: BLD Cubing, solving methods, popular topics covered in puzzle theory...

I was wondering if the number of unique persons viewing a thread is also recorded along with total views. If so, is it possible to integrate this as an optional alternative to total views? I'm just curious to see how many views are actually from non-posters and close followers in threads.

Calculating the Number of K4 "OLLs" on a nxnxn Cube Hi everyone, First of all, I know pretty well that wing edges do not have an orientation on a big cube. Nonetheless, I wanted to find out how many "OLLs" there are for the nxnxn cube. Second, I am not sure if all of my calculations in this...

A little over a year ago, I programmed a solver in Ti-83p basic language which solves back the last layer wing edges on a 4x4x4 (or any NxNxN cube, if you solve one orbit of wings back at a time). Since then, I have significantly improved the code's efficiency as well as written pseudocode for...
