lol

my strategy is rubbish, I just try each piece in every place one by one and see if anything turns not-grey

also something else I thought of, what about making a version of qcube where you have to solve it into a checker pattern?

Couldn't you just solve it normally, and then M2S2E2?

 

[cubersmith]

Sub 15 pyraminx. I know its not much but still ..

Exactly this... I don't really see the point of having someone solve into an easy pattern.

3x3:
10.71, 12.27, (14.86), 11.41, (9.81[PLL skip]) = 11.46
12.50, 12.84, 11.12, (14.98), 12.79, 10.71, 12.27, 14.86, 11.41, (9.81[PLL skip]), 14.15, 11.83 = 12.45

First day with a clock, 28.02 avg5 and 35.04 avg12. I don't think I'll be sub 18 by Nationals though.

...and a 14.13 avg5 with my new zhanchi. Finally, I found a cube that could be better than my Ultimate Guhong.

13.22, 14.76, (15.81), 14.39, (12.79) = 14.13

Could set it so that if the cube passes through solved state then the solve is stopped and DNFed?

Wouldn't work. They could solve it normally until it is one turn away from the solved state, and cancel into M2S2E2.

2x2 pb average of 5 - 4.16!

 

[collinbxyz]

Hehe, Oh pb single: 27.75 5 seconds faster than old PB, and only on the second try for a few months!

 

[iEnjoyCubing]

New lucky PB of 16.71. PLL Skip. Still nice though, beats my other lucky one by 0.8.

 

[qqwref]

Could set it so that if the cube passes through solved state then the solve is stopped and DNFed?

The trick then becomes "add a D2 after finishing F2L, make sure to AUF to a U2 away, and then apply M2 y M2 at the end".

[chris w]

first 4x4 avg12 in a while and its a pb: 1:05.38[pp], (52.16), 1:05.10[op], 1:06.45[dp], 1:09.30[op], 59.48[op], 1:13.79[op+pop], 1:23.57[op+2pops], 1:02.68[pp], (1:29.79[op+pop]), 57.67[op], 1:07.26 = 1:07.07
could have been so much quicker but parity... :/

I solved a 12x12x12 cube on qCube.

Why's this a big deal? Because you can get through the centers of all cubes up to 11x11x11 without changing your handshift - but all larger cubes require handshifting (and a LOT of it). Although keyboard sims that can handle cubes of this size have been around for a while (I guess jfly was the first?) I think it's likely that this is the largest cube ever solved on a keyboard sim.

Although I wasn't specifically going for speed, I did end up beating the UWR (which was 26:26 on a mouse sim), which is awesome. The time was 21:04.365, with 3511 moves recorded and a tps of 2.78.

New PB stuff. I'm not sure the Avg5 is actually PB, but I can't remember my other one so I'm just going to claim this one now. Beat my Avg12 by 0.03. Stupid counting 16...
