Blindsolving Discussion and Help

[Julian]

How are the multi-blind WCA rankings calculated? Is it solve time per cube solved? Is there some sort of penalty for unsolved ones in the rankings? Does it count better to solve more cubes, even if your rate will obviously stay the same?

I'm sorry for teh n00b qu3stion(s) pl0x.

Cubes solves - cubes unsolved.

Tiebreaker: time taken.

what's the best memo system for Old pochmon/M2? At the moment I'm using letter pairs for corners (well, I'm switching to that as we speak) and for edges I just use random words....and I really need a new memo system.

^ This isn't something people can really tell you off the bat. Memo methods are extremely experimental and highly variable, more so than execution methods. And although it's generally agreed upon that 3-cycles using commutators and speed-optimal algs is generally fastest (I feel like I'm missing another adjective/prepositional phrase and I didn't want to say "freestyle"), there is no widely considered "best" memo method. Whatever works for you. This is something you'll have to look up and decide on your own. The stickies have great guidelines and googling memo methods or BLD memo methods certainly doesn't hurt.

http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?21339-BLD-Memo-Method-Poll would be helpful in knowing what's popular.

Can anyone a nice alg (move or speed optimal) for 4x4 wings, where the buffer is DFr and the 2 targets are part of the same dedge?

 

[Sakarie]

There are 5 for variations of them.

DFr > FDl > FUr , A9
l D2 l U2 l' D2 l U2 l2

DFr > FDl > UBr, Columns
U2 r2 U2 r D2 r' U2 r d2 r U2

DFr > FDl > URf, A9
r2 U' r D2 r' U r D2 r

DFr > FDl > DRb, setup to 8-mover
r y U' r U L2 U' r' U L2 y' r'

DFr > FDl > RDf, setup to 8-mover
l' y L2 U' l' U L2 U' l U y' l

Then there's variations of these.

anyone sub 1 with old polchman method

anyone sub 1 with old polchman method

Cornelius is sub1 with M2/Old Pochmann Corners. I'm guessing one of the really fast people like Aron could get a sub1 with Old Pochmann.

can someone give me example solve of TuRbo Edges?

 

[Escher]

F D' B2 D2 F2 B D' R' L B' L2 F2 B U' D B U' F2 U D2 R F B2 U2 R2

(LB FR) L' R (U' r U R' U' M U R U' R' U) R' L
(DR LD) R2 L2 (U' R U R' U' M' U R U' r' U) R2 L2
(BU BD) x' U' M' (R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2) M U x

2-2 cycle - B D' L2 (M2 U' M2 U2 M2 U' M2) L2 D B'
Edge flip - L' U' (R' U2 R2 U R' U' R' U2 r U R U' r'

There are a couple of examples at the bottom of this post.

Does OP stand for Old Pochmann?

look at kirjava's site for some comms for things like this

 

[RyanReese09]

Depends on the context. Could mean Original Poster.

Letter pairs.

I think it means orient permute.

 

[sa11297]

how do I deal with parity when using turbo edges and BH corners?

 

[Erdos]

So I'm trying to figure out how to optimize my Edges method.
With TuRBo, I can do fast S-slices and always set-up in 2 moves, excluding cycles with DF/FD or DB/BD. I figure I'll just memorize the 4 speed-optimal algs for these 4 cases. I'm interested in BH Edges, but I'm not sure how I could incorporate it into TuRBo, excluding these 4 cases. How do others mix in BH Edges with their Edges method?


EDIT: or would it be better to switch to BH edges altogether?

DFr > FDl > FUr , A9

DFr > FDl > UBr, Columns
U2 r2 U2 r D2 r' U2 r d2 r U2

DFr > FDl > URf, A9
r2 U' r D2 r' U r D2 r

DFr > FDl > DRb, setup to 8-mover
r y U' r U L2 U' r' U L2 y' r'

DFr > FDl > RDf, setup to 8-mover
l' y L2 U' l' U L2 U' l U y' l

Then there's variations of these.

Thank you

Old Pochmann isn't often abbrevitated as OP... Orient-Permute is. See 3OP.
