Color Neutrality On A Pyraminx

[Alex DiTuro]

How much of a difference would color neutrality on a Pyraminx make? I'm thinking of doing it. If you are color neutral, has it affected your times?

It's like being colour neutral on the 2x2. It'll most likely make a massive difference.

I was CN from the beginning. It helps, I suppose, if you have part completed. You really should be CN for Pyraminx at the beginning, it's not that hard.

I was color neutral on a 2x2 from the beginning, and I assumed the pyraminx would be similar. I've been solving with a layers first method on yellow every time. It shouldn't be that much of a stretch.

I've only had it for about 3 days, so it shouldn't be that hard.

im color neutral on everything. but since pyraminx is so simple, i think color neutrality would be beneficial

It's basically like 2x2. I don't know of anyone who's not color neutral. Taking a rough estimate I'd say it saves 4-5 moves for me, since I can see easy starts pretty well. There's not reason not to be color neutral on pyra.

I think if I were not color neutral on pyraminx, my times may be a good 1.5 times slower. There aren't that many pieces, so recognition is not a problem, and yes, it is quite similar to being color neutral on a 2x2.

Being colour neutral on pyraminx is of extreme benefit, there is almost always an easy case to use! If I stick to one colour it really destroys my times.

 

[DaijoCube]

I never thought to be color neutral. I always start with the side that has the most done on it, on each puzzle.

I'm not colour neutral for 2x2... Does that make me strange, or special?

yeah its good to be CN at pyra and its not that hard. probably saves about a second for me since with CN i can usually make X cross at least if not double. (I average around 6-7)

or slow.

 

[kunz]

i cant stick to one color i find that it makes me move a ton more but then again im not that great, my times add like 8 seconds if i try to

Édouard isn't color neutral. But yeah, sure, it makes a big difference . . .

everybody is slow compared to you....

 

[qqwref]

There are people who aren't color neutral on Pyraminx?

Ok, how fast should I get with fixed colours to be considered not slow? I'm willing to take this as a challenge.

 

[Faz]

Sub.. 6 or so?

 

[miniGOINGS]

Sub.. 6 or so?

I'll let you know.

This is word-for-word exactly what I was going to say. (Not necessarily spelling-for-spelling though ).
