method development

I noticed a lot of forum members who want to pursue the very interesting and slightly discouraging hobby of method development, but end up making a method that already exists, or is just another variant of a method. Method development can be confusing and overwhelming without a guide, which is...

Uh-oh. There's nothing here about using ChatGPT to generate 3x3x3 solution methods. You've just been Surprise Challenged by Chris Hardwick! There's only one Golden Rule: Surprise Challenge Golden Rule) Do the challenge listed below right now. Clarification of the #1 rule: Don't warm up...

For any good clock solvers/method developers out there, I have a question about flip/no flip I currently main the method 10-move memoless, and it's a more efficient method than the standard Flip method. However, I wonder how many moves you could acheive if you could flip the clock multiple...

I couldn't find the correct parameters to gen an alg set for this: U Yellow R Red F Blue State A: EO (Z), F2L-LXS(dFr unsolved), 1*1*2 yellow block anywhere (preferrably in U or RF) State B: EO (Z), F2L-DFR unsolved, previous 1*1*2 in U A to B Preferrably RUrD gen, ≦7 STM. If Movecount exceeds...

More clearly defined as: within a given 1LLL alg set (one that end with a solved state and deal with permutation and orientation of LL pieces simultaneously), what do the shortest algs (arbitrarily defined as below the 33th percentile in movecount; need a better definition) have in common? What...

I think I have thought of a new method but it seems like an idea that has probably already been developed. I call it CRoux it’s pretty much ZBroux but with CP first block combining the Rouxvalution with Ceor ment for OH. Some other alg sets I have considered due to reduced number of algs because...

Hey guys, Silky here!! I'm excited to share, with you all, my completed SSRC method proposal. It has taken me 4 years to complete but I am very pleased with the final result. It's been a dredge but here it goes: Intro: SSRC (Silky Sexy's Roux + Columns) was proposed in 2020. The original...

Here's a new method I made the other day which is a cross between the Roux and Mehta methods. There are example solves near the bottom and the steps are shown below (white on bottom) Step 1 - Left block: Make a 2x3x1 block on the left like in Roux Step 2 - Belt: Solve the remaining two edges...

I am aware that you can simply use a regular 3x3 method like Cfop or Roux, but are there any methods that have been created for the mirror cube to make it easier or more understandable? for example, EO is extremely hard on the mirror cube because it can be hard to tell if an edge is flipped or...

Hey guy, I'll try and keep this short. As most people have noticed, there has been a large influx of method proposals recently - which ISN'T a bad thing. However, many of these proposals are vapid, poorly thought out or reseatched, and/or are rehashing of previously proposed methods. The...

Looking to develop K4 EOLL algs. I believe that there should be 64 in total ( saw the number is some other thread a while back ). If they've already been genned just drop them here.

Hi. So this thread is going to be about trying to develop a Lin approach that both lowers the amount of algs needed for CSP ( either for people that don't like algs or who want an easier transition to full CSP ) and allows earlier implementation of PLL+1. This would be a 2 part approach. Part...

Hi all! I've been thinking about the Snyder method for the last few day as it was recently suggested in my Quantitative Method Analysis Survey ( which I recommend you take ). anyway, I've become interested in revisiting this rather obscure method and its relatives. I've grouped all the method...

Hi, Silky here, Wanted to make a post to start discussion on creating a more systematic way to analyze and compare different methods. The majority of method debates, in the past, have relied on rather subjective analysis and comparisons which makes comparing methods difficult as each one...

Master Pyraminx! So much potential for speedsolving, and such a good non wca option. As of late, I've been working hard at making my own speedsolving method (technically I started it forever ago but am only really working hard at it nooowww... :V ), and I thought here would be a great place to...
