Alright I have a cool (may not be good), Pyraminx method I came up with when solving. It might be used to build up to intuitive top first solving. Hope you like :D Step 1: Create a backbone whilst orienting the RD and LD edges. (2 corners around one edge Piece) in the back of the Pyraminx To...

The only problem I can see in this method is how on earth are you going to orient the first layer corners. If it is in a way we’re you kind of do F2L with the E layer edges, then I think CFOP would outdo it. I just don’t think it would be easy at all to orient the first layer corners without...

Yes I did briefly mention that during the document, though, for many reasons listed in the document, is slightly worse than my proposed method. Though it is a viable way to approach it especially since no Algs. Edit: It would be greatly appreciated if you guys let me know whether the 8 example...

Alright so I’ve been experimenting with the PCMS method for solving a 3x3 (link below), and I noticed that the first steps for building columns are great, but realised that the Last eight edges step needs development. And with experimentation for a week, I now average 22.5 seconds with this...

Sounds good. Especially that I have a comp on in a month for extra motivation.

Currently averaging mid 17’s with 4LLL, learning PLL and OLL now lol. Would like to be paired

I can’t believe it guys! Just got my first sub 10, as it was 8.87!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although I average 17 with 4LLL, I got a 1LLL and efficient start which I dont think I’ll break for years!!!!! (Sorry guys I’m just so pumped) Try it yourself and see what you get: F' D' F' R2 B2 L2 F2 R2 D R2 D2 U'...

Ok, these are the best cubes IMO and I currently own all of the ones I will recommend. 2x2: Weipo WR, Dayan Tengyun, Valk 2 3x3 GAN XS, GTS3M (dont have WRM) 4x4: Valk 4 M and GTS2M I like for different reasons Pyraminx: Xman Bell is honestly the only really good option I’ve heard. I don’t have...

I average sub 18, but I never connect on my lucky solves! I got a PB a few days a go in 12.08 seconds, but I’m sure someone else can do it quicker Scramble: B' F' D2 R2 B' D2 L2 F D2 F2 D2 U' L2 B' R F2 U' F2 U2 R Cube: GAN XS Method: CFOP 4LLL White Cross x2 y// Inspection (red front white...

I believe the list needs to be updated because it’s been three months and a lot of new releases have come out. I’ll help out by adding cubes for events I have experience with and a variety of cubes for: 2x2: Budget: YJ Yupo v2 M Great: YJ MGC Expert: Dayan Tengyun (now my main), Valk 2, Moyu...

Just signed up! Sounds like lots of fun, unfortunately no pyraminx....

Living in Brisbane sucks, there are barely any comps tbh....

I believe this method can be subset to solve Petrus (not a Petrus solver at all, so Petrus users I’d like your critique), than just COLL+EPLL and I think it could be beneficial. 1. 2x2x3 block like Petrus in the back 2. EO (same as Petrus) 3. Last 2 F2L pairs (therefore ignoring the last cross...

Personally, I learnt it in 2 days. A few solves without memorisation just understanding set up moves and lettering, then getting into the full thing. Took around 3-4 attempts. Memo generally wasn’t hard for me, just understanding set-up moves, new cycles, and the theory helped me. Go really slow...

100% F2L. I am currently just sub 20, so I’m not as good as you, but because i use 4LLL (i know algs suck), I average faster on cross and f2l. Cross: 2 F2L: 8 OLL: 4.5 (dont ask) PLL: 4.5 (dont ask) What I think would’ve helped me when I was averaging what you are now (for the first 2L)...

For me I find that solving 2x2 is a great way to warm up (because of fast TPS). It basically forces you to warm up which is why, I’ve always practised 2x2 at the start of every session. I sometimes drill PLL’s if I just dont feel like doing 2x2 but I always prefer 2x2 for warmup. Hope this helps.

Add more of a gap between the pieces (not sure how though).

That’s right. Looking forward to the release!

Not sure the context, so ill answer both scenarios... If you solve with HD, you must always solve with a V on bottom when orienting corners so you dont have to separate. But if your talking about just using Guimond, then doing the separation step then PBL is the best option.

Personally, I have always bought my puzzles at speedcube.com.au. Free express shipping over $100 and a rewards system. Always great service. I have contemplated buying speedcubes at dailypuzzles but in the past they haven’t had the newest hardware, and have been more expensive. I have recently...
