Is MF3RS2 the best choice now?

I saw some people on the livestream wearing electronic headphones during some solves. Someone should be looking in to that, as it's not allowed.

M2 question: Regarding the FU/BD and UF/DB interchanging. You can either a) Notice if it's first or second in the letter pair and use the inverse algorithm if it's second. or b) Memorize e.g. FU as BD during memo and not worry about choosing the correct algorithm. Which method is better...

Quahog?

Why? How do you know?

What is the probability of parity in 3x3 blindfolded? What is the exact probability of getting an edges memo of length 11 (11 edges need to be solved, buffer does not count)? If buffer piece is solved, it adds 1 to the length. There may be a permuted flipped edge and a solved edge (11 +1 -1 =...

Exactly. Denying arrangement gives an advantage to rich people who can afford many uniform cubes. It really does take time to find the bad cubes and then arrange them after starting the timer, so time = money. It might or might not be more fair for the judge to arrange them randomly in a cubic...

@mark49152 My question does not seem to be a violation of the regulations. A2e only deals with the orientation, which would be a bigger advantage imo (and a shame that the WR 41/41 was accepted with default orientation, but big respect to Kowalczyk). A2e: The judge places the puzzle onto the...

Am I allowed to request a special order for my multiblind cubes? E.g. if I want to solve my valk 3 first and my guanlong last, I will ask the organizers/runner/judge to arrange them so the valk 3 is to the left and the guanlong is to the right.

When I find new algs, I usually leave CubeExplorer over the night and I will wake up to 40.000 algorithms and a very hot computer next morning. Finding algorithms takes a long time for CubeExplorer, but the algorithms don't take up much space on the computer. So I was wondering if there is a...

Using the batch file: Ignore AUFs (y/n)? y 'python' was not recognized as an internal or external command, a program or a batch file. :(o_O I get the same error when I accidentally write "python algexplorer.py yperm_ruf.txt trained.txt -s -p 5 -o output.txt -tl Uxyz -tr Uxyz" so maybe that's...

Suggestion: Add S to the input moves (and possibly other slice moves). Not sure if it's possible to add a value for this sort-of-rare move, but nevertheless I get this error, so I can't get the output file without computing algs with no slice moves. line 16, in rewriteone face =...

Thank you very much! It works like a charm now. I think this will revolutionize speedcubing. Removing pre/post auf would also be a huge help. I don't even know how many times I've been discovering a suprisingly good alg just to see that I already found it in another move count set. And it takes...

Thanks, that helped a lot. However, I get an error regarding line 43, "TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type "float"". Specifically, this is what happens after writing algexplorer.py yperm_ruf.txt trained.txt -s -p 5 -o output.txt Processing yperm_ruf.txt - extracted 237...

It sounds very promising. But how exactly do I use this program? I downloaded python but I don't understand anything.

Okay, so if I'm only interested in the 3x3 event, I should only meet up on day 2. Thanks; it's a long train ride, so I save a lot of time.

Question: 3x3 event is not scheduled on the 1st day of my first event, only 2nd day. Can I still get official 3x3 results on the 1 st day? I imagine the events being people competing each other, but I've seen a lot of youtube videos where speedcubers get official results with a judge, with...

Hi, I'm having a lot of fun with the CubeTwister program, and I was wondering if anyone have additional cube animations to use in CubeTwister. I am searching a hollow 3x3 cube with stickers only, so stickers on the back can be seen, like this one: http://i.imgur.com/vfUOjbi.jpg or a transparent...

I'm not colourblind, but I was wondering the same thing just yesterday! I figured out a way to do it: Download the software, right click on the file "alg.cubing.net.js" and press edit. Search "color scheme" and you can edit the colours. For example, I changed it to "rgbowy" so yellow is on top...
