    Scrambling and solving a 4x4x4 as a 2x2x4

    I have no clue where to put this thread. As of late, I've been messing around with my 4x4x4, and tried restricting myself to only a limited moveset: Rw2, Fw2, Bw2, Lw2, and anything for U/D. For rotations you have to choose 2 colours to always keep on bottom/top, easiest choice is white/yellow...

    Anyone here competent/familiar with heise?

    Sorry if puzzle theory isn't the right section. Hey, all! Recently I've been checking out 3x3 methods, and this one in particular: Heise, caught my eye. For the uninitiated, the steps are: 1. Solve 3 1x2x2 blocks, and 1 edge attached to both correct centers. You avoid using 1 color, that color...

    Hey, all! I've recently been getting back into 3x3, and I thought i should start a thread like this to keep my motivation going. I'll be splitting this up into 4 chunks, one for CFOP, another for physical 2^4, a third one for learning APB, and the last one for writing down my progress with...

    Any good SmartCube timers?

    (I have a gan i Carry S 1) I've recently been trying out Cubeast, and its pretty good, except its a $5 monthly subscription. (For the full version) So my question is: are there many good SmartCube timers that are free? (If you're on the r/cubers subreddit this post may give you deja vu)

    "Cubers with the same interest" as a new forum

    People really like to use the "Local cubing groups" for finding others with the same interests on this forum, so why not add a "cubers with the same interest" group or something like that? (sorry for a short post I don't believe there is much to explain)

    Why i think we shouldn't say "You should be able to..."

    E.G. you're trying to get sub X using CFOP, you don't know full OLL, and someone says "You should be able to average sub X when you learn OLL, it for 1, gives them an idea of how useful something is, and for 2, gives them an expectation, which I believe could be pretty stressful if you don't get...

    why do you like cubing?

    for what reasons do you like cubing! i'll start : its so simple to get into yet is so complex, it feels impossible just looking at it scrambled for the first time, then you search up a tutorial and you try and solve, each step is confusing, but you do it finally, and after ~2hours you solve it...
