Fast single sequence repetition

[peterbone]

I'm sure that this has been done before but I'm fairly new to the cubing community. If you do RU 105 times the cube returns to its solved state. It occurred to me to time this and maybe others could have a friendly competition to see who can do it the fastest. Others could suggest new sequences to compete on. Here are 2 sequences I've timed (these are my first goes at timing them).

RU (or L'U') : 105 reps : 37.3s
RUR'U'L'U'LU : 30 reps : 59.2s

Try...
r U R' U'
12 reps to return to normal
Takes me about 6 seconds :\

 

[abctoshiro]

R U R' U' R F R' F' till solved.

It's comfortable to the hands. 7.98 seconds.

BTW, it's an OLL.

 

[~Adam~]

I usually do sub 15 RU'

Off your youtube account, 21 seconds is definitely worth watching.

 

[keemy]

how about U 4 times. >_>

 

[Toad]

R R'
Repeat.

 

[Rinfiyks]

R U R' U' R F R' F' till solved.

It's comfortable to the hands. 7.98 seconds.

I guess you mean R U R' U' R' F R F'

try 63

 

[Kynit]

try 63

Isn't that R U'?

 

[maggot]

he is indeed correct that R U takes 105 repetitions. R U' takes 63.

i find this interesting to try this challenge again, now that the speedcubes have progressed. im sure that we can get faster times with guhongs/A5/lingyuns, the pure speed demon cubes.

personal record R U'x63 = 12.28 with a lingyun. i dont think im going that fast @_@

Do F R U L D B and then divide the time by the amount of moves it takes to get it back into solved state (or he other way around) and you'll get your positive tps (do B' D' L' U' R' F' for negative tps).

you should see his sexymove in real life thats more impressive

Thanks for your replies. The RU' video was crazy. Nobody's tried my 2 sequences yet though? I joined several years ago to post one message but only got interested in speed solving and returned recently.

R U: 47.04 single (slow)
sexy move:
times (reset):
3.50, 2.90, 2.81, 2.63, 3.04 = 2.92 (σ = 0.09) (beat my std dev)

R U' OH: 37.13

I am slow.

 

[Mike Hughey]

RU: 105 reps : 64.00 seconds
RUR'U'L'U'LU : 30 reps : 56.89 seconds

I don't see how you do RU that fast! Having to regrip kills me. The second one was pretty easy - it's a very comfortable sequence.

Try holding the r to your upper right and U to your upper left....use only your index fingers....for R U' i mean....
i got a 21.33.

 

[Cyrus C.]

RU: 53.39
RUR'U'L'U'LU: 59.29

 

[StachuK1992]

RU: 41.75 = ~5tps
RUR'U'L'U'LU: 39.66 = ~6tps
