Is the Fridrich method really the fastest way to solve a 3x3 cube?

[uberCuber]

I can 1 look all 43 quintillion cases. I just need like 25 seconds or so to recall the alg...

damn it takes me more than a minute to recall the alg

10 seconds to slow

Imagine you could 1-look a whole solve in 12 seconds....

Just get INSANELY good at speed blind...insanely is an understatement

There's this one method where you solve it in 21 moves or less. It has about 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 algorithms though.

Lies!

Not all of those situations are do-able, so it's about 3 quad

 

[Rpotts]

do-able?

proof?

You do realize that 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 is the number of ATTAINABLE positions, right?

I'm wondering about making my own method. Though I do think that F2L was a very good idea, I think there are much more efficient ways to solve the cube.

what do fast (thread-title) and efficient (thread-content) have to do with each other? If you don't know this, it is NOT a good time to be thinking about your own method yet. First research at least 5 existing Fast/Efficient methods first and learn

you do realise that 1 look doesn't mean 1 alg? There are a few people in this world that can solve a cube after 12 seconds of inspection in 1 look already. I don't think any of them are interested in speedblind at all (is anyone still interested in that?)

weird doublepost. First the posts didn't happen, then I got "vBulletin Message, Sorry! This forum is not accepting new posts.", then the double posts, then the edit didn't work (invalid post number), then the posts both disappeared.....and now they are both back again

Why has this thread 30+ replies?

Because of your post (before, it only had 30).

I lol'd Stefan


Fridrich is the fastest until something else proves to be faster
I wonder if anyone has said this

 

[speedcuber100]

LOL!!!!!

Fridrich hasn't been proven to be the fastest.

 

[Pandadudex96]

Fridrich is "known" to be the fastest but there's obviously faster method (I don't want to offend anyone )

 

[Kirjava]

Not really. CFOP is just popular with people who are fast.

Then maybe, let us say that it has the most potential...

Nah. You can't possibly know that.
