One-Answer Other Question Thread

It's just a bunch of code. No scrambles.

Wait, really? You should probably ask @xyzzy about that.

 

[cuberswoop]

Can someone please help me. If you can, I want to practice kilominx. But, I need scrambles, because cs timer has no kilominx scrambles. I would like an average of 1000. (But if you can't, that's fine).
Thanks

Bro please just google. It was the first thing when I googled "Kilominx scrambler"

Kilominx scramble generator

I did google that, but it didn't show up on my computer, probably bc it's blocked.

you can use megaminx scrambles

I did not think of that. Thanks.

Too long.
Thanks for the help, guys!

Too long.

*wheeeeez*
Oh man, there are people (including me) that would tell you Hungarian Supernova scrambles are too short. I think it should be sufficient for kilominx, though the same cannot be said for the 3x3 counterpart.

But like cuberswoop said, if you have a basic question like that, please consult your internet browser, or at the very least, the SS search function. It's actually very helpful for finding posts!

If Google doesn't work you can always try a different web browser (DuckDuckGo, just saying).

What am I supposed to do? I'm just dummy.
My brain consists of algs and an unhealthy dose of the Piano Man.

scramble.cubing.net is also an option, as is Twizzle Editor.

(For kilominx, these use the same scrambling code as mine. Not as convenient if you want to generate a large batch of scrambles to copy into csTimer, though.)

im competing in the weekly comp (2022-40) but i haven't really quite understand what the kilominx notations mean. could someone help me?

On the competition page, there's a "View Rules" button you can click, which will give you this message:

Kilominx Rules:

To scramble, hold the kilominx with the top face such that the top of the pentagon is a point. Then the faces indicated to turn should be obvious. R2 means turn the right face 144 degrees clockwise, R2' means turn the right face 144 degrees counterclockwise. 'flip' means flip the puzzle 180 degrees about what is commonly thought of as the x axis (same as x2 in the old competition kilominx notation).

Probably the only confusing thing is the "flip"; it looks like this.

Anyone know how to calculate best possible average?

Anyone know how to calculate best possible average?

When u have four solves, take the fastest three and average them
It assumes that for the fifth solve, the time is faster than the current fastest time (out of the four solves), in which case the fifth solve and the slowest solve wouldn't be counted

 

[Abram Grimsley]

Does anyone know if there is an alg sheet for solving 4x4 pll parity cases in one alg (instead of solving parity then pll, just one single alg to finish it all)?
It not, is there a way someone can help me try to create one (of its possible)?
Thanks.

PLL Parity should be on the Wiki somewhere.

Under Parity algorithms

There is a sheet with other cases though I don't have access to it anymore.

I just realised how many typos I had in my original question. Lol

What's the orientation and scrambles for hkoll and hkpll in trangium? Oll maybe M' U M (t oll)?

 

[LBr]

for orientation you would set every corner and last layer piece as equivalent as well as the DF edge. The 1: thing will not be needed here, just the two sets of fancy brackets one for the corners and one for the edges.
In terms of the scramble, you will want to set the scramble as same as oll but add the arrow case (M’ U M) that you have already mentioned. Have the arrow case outside of the triangular brackets

For HKPLL, don’t set any orientation, as we want to end up with a solved cube. For the scramble, just do the normal PLL scramble covered by Ryan in the video, then add M’ U2 M outside of the triangular brackets.

Note these cases are exclusively the HK alg set thus normal cfop LL algs will be excluded from this set

Thanks!

Just a warning, the algs for HK’s PLL+1 are not very good. Especially the ones created from diag PLLs using M’ U2 M
