Do you cube everyday? Don’t you do anything other than cubing related stuff? I wish I can be like you but I have a career to pursue. I really want to get into blind cubing, but my mother took away all my cubes and said that i have to finish all my assessment books to get them back…

I don't cube everyday. I am a research student in astrophysics, so that is my main focus in life.

Good comp last weekend. I broke PRs in 6x6, 7x7 and Skewb!

Nice job yo, U M' U2 L2 U' M U L2 U!

 

[abunickabhi]

Nice job yo, U M' U2 L2 U' M U L2 U!

Nice alg, it is [U:[M',U2 L2 U']] in comm notation and it solves UF-LD-DF-RU-UL.

what is it in the Yo notation?

 

[abunickabhi]

It is 'anci bma ia' in Yo notation. You can remember the alg as 'ancillary bomb international association'.

why is yo notation so confusing

What's confusing about it? A face turn or slide turn is a unique letter, makes reading and memorising algs much easier.

 

[abunickabhi]

Yay a milestone crossed on SS forums. 4000 messages in 8 years at the average of 500 messages per year.

 

[abunickabhi]

crossed 122k letter quads!


Goals for the Asians coming up this August:

1. Get podium in 4BLD, 5BLD and MBLD.
2. Get 4BLD and 5BLD mean.
3. Get 4BLD, 5BLD single and mean NRs.
4. Meeting new cubers and volunteer.
5. Enjoy the comp and the new country!

 

[abunickabhi]

125572 letter quads covered in 2052 days at the speed of 61.1 per day.

Hoping for BLD memo and tracing grind to get my memo super fast.
Memo goals are:

1. 100 cube memo in multi
2. Global sub-4 memo in 3BLD
3. sub-15 memo in 4BLD
4. sub-40 memo in 5BLD

5 YEARS??? You must be mentally sick lol from memorizing so many algorithms+yo pairs. Props for tackling this feat that no one would dare to go.
I bet Anthony Brooks didn't have that much of a struggle memorizing ZBLL compared with you memorizing 5-style. I can't even do 3-style algorithms. Maybe that's because I don't want to.

It is tough to compare Brooks comments in 2015. ZBLL requires different TPS and recall speed and it is meant for sighted solving. Recognition and classification of ZBLL algs are tough, so while learning the algset these things confuse more learners.

In UF5 algset, the solver has time during thinkahead(memo) to recall the alg, and also the classification is simple as it is just 4 target stickers that we want to solve at once.

ZBLL is hard to learn but not easier than UF5 by any means yo.

 

[Imsoosm]

ZBLL is hard to learn but not easier than UF5 by any means yo.

But comparing 490 algs with 120k algs, I think ZBLL is much easier...

Are you done with 5-Style edges? Also, how do you plan on doing corners?

 

[abunickabhi]

Are you done with 5-Style edges? Also, how do you plan on doing corners?

Hi I am not yet done with 5-style edges, I have all the 126k Letter Quads down, but the edges, I have only revised 31k and there are ~40k if you exclude mirrors and inverses. It is hard to think of the inverse and mirror of the alg on the fly so we have to drill those as well.

The second part of your question has a smaller answer. 5-style corners is trash algs, wasted entire 2017 year trying to find them.

 

[abunickabhi]

Let's see how many PRs I make.

 

[abunickabhi]

Got 3 PRs in my 56th WCA competition this weekend.

A suprise 13.1 OH single, 3.03 skewb single and 5.84 average. All of these is without practice which shows that there is a lot of room for improvement.

Something that did not progress today is my 3BLD which I triple DNFed.
All 3 were execution mistakes, I did some 5-style UF edge algs wrong.

 

[NigelTheCuber]

3.03 skewb single and 5.84 average. .

3.03 single and 5.84 average????? I have a 4.27 average but single is only 3.59

 

[Samuel Baird]

How much of 5style edges have you learned yo?
