Like Ooms but mirror (I'm a lefty).

Dene: I can include some flashing lights in my video if you want? There's only so much screen presence you can get out of a screen capture.

Yes and that's exactly the problem, it makes it somewhat less exciting to watch.

Everybody knows who Michael Gottlieb is!

He's the guy who solves big cubes. Really fast.

No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. That cube is a 24x24. From all the 5x5 practice it's obvious Michael likes ODD cubes better!

Lucas speaks german, most of you don't so you probably does not get it =)

So I spoile it : Gott = God, lieb = love. Gott lieb? = God loves?

(Gottlieb = Godlove)

Nope.
That's just his name.

In California, however, there are a lot of milk ads that feature the phrase "got milk?" See Wikipedia.
So, if you ever find yourself in a situation with a huge cube, you might consider whether you've "got gottlieb?"
But hey, whaddaya know! I can make a pun out of that!

Finally i understand the joke .

Hi

"Virtual" solve versus "real" solve. The choice is really easy. It's sorta like comparing a "game" to a real puzzle. Personally i am a lot slower on a cube animation than on a real cube. This is of course due to minimal practice, and lack of interest.

And just for the records. Michael, to me you have a lot of respect, not only for amazing virtual times - but also for great pattern contributions.

Speedsolving for me is kinda like a last resort now. My priority is like this:

1 - fewest moves
2 - patterns
3 - speedsolving

Why speedsolving gains so much more interest than the other 2 things i listed is a small mystery to me. Sure, for novices a real solve (fast) is more impressive than something which is done more slowly on the cube (the "thing). But with all respect a fast solve is nothing but a fast recall of a learnt method. Both fewest moves and pattern making to a great extent goes beyond this.

Oh well, twisty puzzles is still a marginal "sport". I'm in it for the fun - not the glory!!

All the best,

Per

although when I tried the computer cube I found it hard to do some of the algorithms becuase I have this thing where I have all of my algorithms in my muscle memory so I like the pyscical cube better but like when I got my warts burnt off I used the computer cube for a couple days because my fingers hurt

BTW has anyone had the trouble doing algorithms?

yeah, just practice. U, E, Z and R sucks for me on the computer. But V,U and J are lightning fast!
