Old news, but this didn't get as much interest as I was hoping for. Me (Peter Greenwood) and Ravi Fernando solved a 100x100x100 computer cube in December-January earlier this year. It took 34 Days, 4 Hours, 13 Minutes, 11.22 seconds. While we called it a "team-solve", we didn't switch off...

I'm leaving for camp on friday, for 5 weeks! I won't be near a computer for email, but if you do send me an email I will read it when I get back.

As much as that sucks, it is about three million times better than I can do! Kepp it up!

I don't remember much before cubing, but I do remember getting my first cube. All i could think about was getting home and playing with it. I never did learn to solve it on my own, try as I might. Eventually I knew the method from the booklet cover to cover, with a few of my changes thrown in...

If you are looking for more extentions than the ones at mozilla.com, check out this site: http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/20...-power-surfing/. I am currently using alot of those suggestions and have been for a while.

This is too general. Most of the time all I work with is free software, so I have come across a lot that I like. It really depends on what category you are talking about, but a few of my favorites are Firefox, Crimson Editor. I have tons more I use alot, but after those it gets very difficult to...

IMO, F2L doesnt really use algorithms, more like moves (just like first and second blocks of roux).

What do you get when you mulitply your PB single time (non-lucky) for 3x3 by the number of algorithms you knew (for that method) at that time. 19.42 * 21 = 407.82 for me. What are yours?

I believe it is actually turning the 5x5 that makes your 3x3 times better. At rutgers, I helped out scrambling 5x5 cubes, while doing second round 3x3. My second round times were excellent! The only reason I can think of is that your hands become pumped from turning the not so loose 5x5, and...

Check my page: http://geocities.com/pjgat09/misc.html 4x4 should be up very soon, I am trying to get it up fast.

I think of it as a 3x3x3 without edges. Imagine you have already solved cross, and you are now doing F2L, but without edges. Then orient the last layer, but ignore the non-existant edges. Then permute with a 3 cycle or y-perm. Thats what I do, but its not very fast. If you want to get faster...

I had the same problem, so I "borrowed" some from Stefan's page. I ended up with WO having no name, so I named it a whitehole. :) Heres the list of my names: http://cube.ionws.com/peter/Misc/names.dat WG is crossed out because I never use it. Also remember that corners can use the same names as...

Thats a great alg Joel! I think I might start using that myself. That case gets really annoying for me, so that will be a really handy alg.

If you are using pochmann's, memorize in the order you solve in, edges then corners. I use a story to memorize the pieces. This method can be found on his site: http://www.stefan-pochmann.de/spocc/blindsolving/3x3/

I think Bob Burton's website might help. He has videos for each of his algorithms, both slow and fast. His website is http://www.cubewhiz.com.

These kind of cases are nothing to wprry about. Take the piece out in one way, then put it back in the other way. For example, say RY was flipped. You could take it out YR, then put it back in RY. There is also an alg to flip both the buffer and the other edge, but I don't use that. Maybe...

I believe Stefan Pochmann's method is the easiest for beginners. Start by just doing a solve eyes open and everything. Slowly move into just edges, then corners. Eventually you will find it easier and easier to do it. The thing you want to remember: don't rush. Until you have done a bunch of...

Section: Blindfolded Solving Article: Can I use my current method for blind solving? Yes, it is possible to use your speedcubing method but it is very difficult. You will have to memorize the moves to solve with. And don't forget, you can't move any sides of the cube while memorizing, so you...

Section: Blindfolded Solving Article: How hard is blindfolded solving? Blindfold cubing takes a little more practice than speed solving, but with practice it is not very difficult. It is more of an excercise for the brain. You have to practice memorizing objects, numbers, or letters (or...
