HOPPA.. new PB on the 4x4:

4:44.82
Uw2 Fw' U' Rw B L Uw' F2 B U2 D2 Fw2 L2 F L Uw2 D B2 L' Rw' Fw L U2 F2 L U' Rw2 F' B2 U F U Uw' Rw2 B' L Rw R' U Fw'



Changed the springs of the v-cube back to the hardest ones. I found that I wanted to tighten the cube more to gain stability, and nope.. no can do them tighter, so.. out went medium again, and back in went the hard ones.

And then I did this time above.

Neat!

As long as I don't get parity I'm good. When I have to start swapping edges and flipping them and all.. I'm DNF lol
 
L2 d2 R F' U F R' d2 is not easy for me lol

r2 U2 r2 Uw2 r2 u2 is easier to remember


I am stickering it with cubesmith tiles now. The colors you just can't get used to ;) LOL
 
Fidgeting with the washers and springs helped (put the medium springs in, with Gans cube washers) and I just set a new PB :)

For now I am only going to learn two new algos, one of the edge flip, and the across switch. With those two I should be able to solve any situation. With the above PB I didn't get any parities, so I could solve straight on like a 3x3 :)

Nice one. I had 1:54.55 on the first one and 2:19.56 on the second one.

If you want an easy two remember OLL parity algorithm, try Lucas Garron's. Rw U2 x Rw U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Lw U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw'. It's almost completely 2-gen apart from a cube rotation and one Lw move.

I also recently learned a new PLL alg, which is quite nice: Uw2 Rw2 U2 Rw2 R'2 U2 Rw2 Uw2.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks! I will have to try that out indeed.

I have been thinking of focusing pure on the 4x4 for a while now and getting that down and up to speed a bit so I can add it to the bundle for Eindhoven :)

It is much more fun to do this 4x4 on a proper cube. Just need to get me some thicker washers that fit. Where on earth to find those.. not a clue.

Hardware store maybe?
 
Yeah, I was thinking about that. Bringing one washer with me as an example. Or online! Dumb me.. I have a micrometer :fp why not use it, right! (edit: good tip to be found in the v-cube 4 topic in hardware forum involving paperclips)

At least currently the cube is turning fine, wait and see what time and breaking in will do :) Might just leave it like it is, I can't tell right now :)

Strange thing.. as much as I hated the coffee grinder in the wittwo, I love the hollow noise this one makes. However it doesn't have the feel that the coffee grinder did so.. it's ok.

I guess the cube can make as much racket as it wants, as long as it operates properly. (kinda like me really.. every joint cracks and pops, but things are still working peachy LOL)

WOOT!!! new pb on the 4x4:

The opposite edges swap is memorized, and the single edge flip is pretty decently in there as well (needs more refinement, but.. will get there). The above was of course done without any cheating and with th every single edge flip in there as well, so.. more the yay in there because of that :D


The average of 5 is only going to happen if I get 5 solves in a row without peeking on the algo sheet LOL, so.. those will remain on tbd until that is down :)
 
HOLEYYYY..

just did a solve, new PB. Got the 8 pairs top and bottom done, I turn the centers back on top of each other and all the 4 remaining centers were instantly solved. :eek: Then adding there was no parity and I could solve it like a 3x3 without issues, ending with a t-pem.. life is good this morning hahahaha
