I’m creating short educational videos about the mathematics of twisty puzzles — some tutorials, but mostly theory and structure. This could include: Impossible states and parity Probability distributions of cases Move-count limits Structural/group properties Mechanical or reaction-time limits...

I've been thinking a lot lately about how much lube, tensioning, and quality of cube impacts a person's speed. For example, if you took your main and cleaned the lube out and tried to solve it dry how much of an impact would it have on your speed? What about a different cube of the same affects...

I'll start: I was at Sub 50-40 at the time, and my parents were like "You know, I think you should move on from cubing.". For a second I actually considered it. We were watching the news at that time. At that exact moment, I don't know if got lucky or something, but there was a headline about a...

We got stickerless cubes, rounded off corners, torpedos, magnets, good corner cutting, lots of customization options, corner to core magnets, and now maglev. What do you think a modern speedcubes could use to be better? I personally believe that a more intuitive customization mechanism is...

So, I just randomly had this idea for a fun competition. The idea is to take a 3x3 scramble, and you can solve it however you want to. You can use AI to find the best solution, or just find a fast solution yourself- the idea is to get the fastest time possible with the scramble. I am not super...

So I attempted the first scramble of the speed FMC for practice in the Weekly 22-49 competition. Scramble: I was using NISS and normal blockbuilding, and got to a pseudo-F2L-1 case in 18 moves which I was incredibly happy with. However, I was immediately stuck on how to continue with skeletons...

Hi guys, I've been cubing for around 3 years now (2 years actively) and due to the recent pandemic, I got back into cubing! Within a few weeks I was averaging lower 20's and just a couple weeks ago, I was able to achieve sub 20! it was extremely gratifying seeing all my hard work go to use. I do...

I am REALLY frustrated with the amount of ghost posting, necroposting, and general lack of forum etiquette. I find that alot of the posts here are just used to fill up extra reactions or free post count. I would like your opinions on things like reaction games, and threads where you just spam...

So I think this could spark up some discussion. Four or five years ago, almost everyone would have answered this question with "No freakin way!". But I feel that in 2015, posing such a question doesn't sound so unrealistic. The question is whether it is possible for every cuber to achieve...

Hey people, I recently have been very frustrated with BLD, with DNF after DNF after DNF. I'm making this thread so that we can discuss accuracy in terms of BLD cubing, and as opposed to the Random Cubing Discussion Thread, this thread will be reserved for discussion only about accuracy. It's...

Everone has music that puts them in "The zone." What music works best for you when cubing? For me, the John Butler Trio and Dave Matthews Band get me in the zone for cubing.
