One-Answer Big Cubes Question Thread

[One Wheel]

I remain baffled as to why the Yuxin has fallen out of favor. Without magnets it would be a toss up in my opinion between the Yuxin Purple and a Wushuang M. With magnets the Yuxin is miles ahead. It’s a wide open easy to magnetize cube, too.

What would the best 5x5 be? I'm looking to get a really good one and so far i'm thinking of the Moyu AoChuang GTS M

Recommended 5x5x5:

• Budget: YuXin Cloud 5x5 - $5.49
• Great: YuXin 5x5 - $13.99
• Expert: Cubicle WuShuang M 5x5 - $64.99 or MoYu AoChuang 5x5 GTS M - $39.99

As the title implies I'm trying to decide if I should use yau or redux on my 5x5. Is there any advantage to one over the other or what? Any information for it is welcome.

 

[Competition Cuber]

Redux is more straightforward and let’s you spam more tps, yah gives you look ahead. Personally I use yay, but it is really a matter of opinion

Is there a simple way to pair the final 12 edges on a 6x6? I don't want to memorize a million algorithms for each case as I don't intend on competing in 6x6, so are there any easy algs for this? (By final 12 edges I mean the 3 groups of 4 edge pieces that you cannot align like the rest of the edges, as in the step after solving the centers.) I remember learning one or two algs a while ago that I could use with every case but I cannot seem to find them again. Thanks for your time!

For first 8 edges:

For last 4 edges:

Hey everyone, can't seem to get algorithms for 5x5 l2e. Any help?

(Mainly check CubeSkills, but you can also refer to the second site for alternative algs in case you don't like the ones on CubeSkills.)

Thank You!

what's 12e

is that 12th edge?

Thanks so much btw I love your channel.

Does freeslice edge matter?
I’ve seen some big cubres use the RF or LF edge during pairing, but I usually use the RB edge. Is there a significant disadvantage for this? Is it worth it to switch?

Hello
I recently received my 12x12x12 cube and I am loving it so far, but I am struggling/stuck. I have solved up to a 9x9 before, but a 6x6x6 is the highest even I have done. I have completed 4 of the 6 face centers and now am struggling to get the last two solved. I'm fairly confident I can solve the edges from there, but I'd love some recommendations for ways to solve the final two side faces. They are adjacent to one another, green and white. I have been able to get 6-7 complete rows of green done, but trying to get the other 4 together is killing me. Sorry for lack of terminology or specifics I am newer to the cubing world

i would suggest using commutators to individually switch the centers around, it would be really inefficient, but it would be pretty easy, if you get how commutators work, if you dont, JRCuber has a good video on commutators here:

Thank you! Totally worked, I ended up finding another channel because JR was a bit confusing to follow. But you definitely sent me in the right direction

How many cases are there for OLL on 4x4 when OLL parity is taken into account? Also are there any docs or resources for it?

How many cases are there for OLL on 4x4 when OLL parity is taken into account? Also are there any docs or resources for it?

27 for 1-flip, 27 for 3-flip, total 54 cases with OLL parity.

Index of /~mfung/speedcubing/algs/4x4x4

The 1-flip list is complete, the 3-flip list has only a few cases.

Complete list. Some cases don't look very nice.

Saw this added to the wiki recently, no idea how good/bad it is.

OLL Parity Square T

OLL Parity Square T (OPST possible proposed name?) The aim of this “alg set” is to use the OLL parity to force a square-OLL or T-OLL for OLL parity cases where 1 edge is correctly oriented. Most of the cases are just recognizing the angle and choosing between the OLL parity and double parity in...

docs.google.com

3-flip cases only.

A Collection of Algorithms

I'm still not entirely convinced that it is "well known," but that certainly is interesting. It's well known but not used much as much as the standard A Perms or others can typically be executed faster

The OLLCP cases with corners oriented and one flipped edge.

Incomplete list of 1-flip RrU algs that I genned last year. (I use only one of the algs in the list. Most of them are unusable (and also too hard to remember but maybe that's just me).)

I literally have no idea what to do. Please help me.
