CubeCast Podcast Thread - Episode 24 released!

Maybe your players feel too posh for 16 kbps? (Andrew, you used to use 32 kbps before, ts ts ts...)

I thought I did. But then again... It did sound different when I listened to it on the car. Ill check again when I get back home tonight. If it is the wrong kpbs, I'll redo it.

 

[Stefan]

......

I asked him for his answer when I thought he meant he would've won if the hosts knew their geography. Deleted it when I saw I had misread, but he was too fast.

The UWR for the 3x3x3 cube assembly is I think 9.14.

 

[krnballerzzz]

The "second server can't serve alcohol" doesn't make any sense. Why would she bother asking him for his ID if she can't serve alcohol in the first place?

 

[keemy]

I would have loled if I won puzzler twice (I had the right answer for this one too XP).

 

[Sa967St]

Great episode.
You guys should settle everything over oral rock paper scissors.

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

I love it how whenever you download a codec, it doesn't work the way it said it would.

edit: I'll just try iTunes once it downloads

2edit: Okay. It's working fine now. The audio is just a little weird. I think you already know what I mean.

 

[waffle=ijm]

I enjoyed it thoroughly. Stefan accent > Thom accent.

 

[Innocence]

Well done Andrew, you win at pronouncing my name (Ryan Paroz) first try, then screwing it up by trying again. Thom, you lose, I'm sorry.

 

[da25centz]

The UWR for the 3x3x3 cube assembly is I think 9.14.

well i dont think its really fair to start with all the pieces laid out in pairs like that. They should be randomly scrambled

 

[krnballerzzz]

What do you guys think of....
1) skype team blind? Should this be a regular thing?
2)the puzzler? Is it a good segment to the show?
3) the quickfire questions? Is it still funny, or is it losing its comedic value?

How many of you guys followed the team blind with the show?

 

[Faz]

Well, since I didn't have the scramble, I couldn't

 

[krnballerzzz]

Well, since I didn't have the scramble, I couldn't

Like I said in the show, it's on the website faznub.

 

[Innocence]

@Andrew: Puzzler is good still, QQ are still pretty funny. The Team BLD was fun, but I lost it toward the end, sounded like Stefan did too Perhaps more code words for move sequences, or just go slower.

@Faz: It's on the website. As Andrew just said when he ninja'd me.

 

[AJ Blair]

GAH! I said West instead of East....That makes me sad...

 

[Rook]

I thought the F B' solution was for the website scramble and I kept re-scrambling and re-listening to Thom's solution, trying to get the first block. :fp I still think it's a good idea and you guys should try it again. Maybe use a funny/weird method each episode to make things more interesting?

Someone needs to remix the Master Magic song. Now.

I LOL'd when Thom said he got a last layer skip.

Great episode!

Amazing episode!

I followed along with the team blind solve, and the first attempt had me busting out laughing. All I heard was "3...2...1...go *sdfhiwuhn ;whef*" from Thom calling so quickly! Then it got even better when Andrew called out turns as well, trying to keep up!

Another bust out laughing part was the question to Thom:
Andrew: "If you had to eat one of your cubes, which one would it be and why?"
Thom: "Wait what the?!?...what???...... uh???... what?!?!"

[r2,U] style solving was fun. I ended up going with Stefan's suggestion to solve corners first, and then I used a Classic Pochmann style BLD method to solve edges. Probably 1:30 minutes solves on average, maybe 2:00 minutes.

Stefan, you're awesome! Loved this episode, easily one of my top favorites! Thank you so much for the master magic song encore as well! I agree that maybe some of the newer cubers won't know what it's all about, but we oldies still that song I'm interested to look into the deep cut puzzle methods as well. There was a lot of theory and discussion in this episode, and I was really taken with the [r2,U] solving once it was mentioned, but I promise I'll try to put some thought into the deep cut puzzles as well.

I'm happy to have won the puzzler! I had a hard time on the spy one, so it's nice to get one correct! Andrew mentioned possibly doing something else with the shirt since I already have one (the cubecast shirts are awesome btw!). If Thom and Andrew are ok with this then I would like to offer my shirt from winning the puzzler to the best Stefan Pochmann master magic song remix.

Awesome episode, and I look forward to the next 10!

Chris

Good episode. Skype team BLD was rofl. I wouldn't mind it being a regular thing for the show. I love QF questions! It still adds great value to the show. The puzzler is fun for those who like riddles and winning prizes. I'm clueless with most of them though.

Again, good episode guys! Stefan was great. It would be so awesome if Tyson really made the Pochmann 8-ball.
Can't wait for next episodes!
