You can ask for a resolve.

You'd almost certainly be denied one, since it was yourself and you could otherwise fake a sneeze for a resolve

I think it might be good if you watch this tutorial. It's for ZZ but the techniques and ideas are the same

Thanks you.

I just got a rex cube and I came across a parity that I can't find a solution to anywhere. Only two centers are swaped, anyone have a solution?

I want to learn B2 but can't seem to grasp the idea of CP tracing/tracking. Can anyone direct me to a resource other than Teoidus' essay on it?

I constructed my versions of it from Jaap's page.

How to solve it faster than in 3 algorithms?

How to solve it faster than in 3 algorithms?

I would use 3 algs. The issue is that you have a parity, and until you finish the first two layers you won't know whether you need to switch inner wings or outer wings. I like to solve edges on the E layer, so I would do an F or equivalent cube rotation, then 2D [flip] 2D' 4U' [flip] 4U, solve f2l with green or red cross, then solve parity.

Edited: corrected alg.

Does someones know where i can find which cube was used bye speed cubers to win world record? The 5 or 10 best record would be enought! Thanks you!

Most Qiyi fans have switched to the Valk 3.

In Bill Wang's 6.04avg12 on youtube, has anyone discovered what move count he has for F2L and what time he finishes F2L in?

I have had some discomfort in my right index finger. It isn't that bad, but when I do U it feels very uncomfortale compared to usual. So I've only been practicing OH for the last few days. Has anyone else experienced this?

So my thread was recently moved into the New Method / substep / concept idea thread, and I don't believe it belongs there. As quoted by the thread's creator: "I'm making this thread for all of those ideas you have that are interesting, yet are not fully developed. This is a place to post them." It's obvious that the thread was meant to be a place where people could post their Ideas before they develop them, so that they could be helped with their idea.

My thread was a method proposal for a new method, the GS method. Even though it was a proposal, my method was fully developed. I worked on it for months. After my thread was posted, It recieved positive feedback, along with a few suggestions. Even shadowslice e said that it was "not too bad". The next day, It was moved into the thread mentioned in the first paragraph. Now my fully developed method is being covered up and lost in 133 pages of other people's ideas. I cannot understand why an administrator or moderator would move my hard work into a place for infantile ideas. It is highly insulting and disrespectful to my work, and I am very pissed off.

Is there any way to put my method back into a thread of it's own? If not, would it be acceptable to make another thread for my method, as the original doesn't exist anymore? If none of these are okay, what speedcubing forums don't throw people's hard work away for no good reason?

Do algorithms with R, U, and u moves count as a 2-gen algs? (Like the G-perms?)

I have a site called cubeflip.us that you can go on, but there are about ten total users... I am an admin there and I will ensure that this does not happen.

He's not using an iPad. The timer he is using is SpeedCube Timer, which is only on Android (btw, he uses jjtimer on his phone).

I like ChaoTimer for the iPad. There might be better ones out there though.

I have always used FingerTimer, simply because it better simulates an actual SpeedStacks timer. However, I usually time myself on this laptop using csTimer.

They are considered pseudo2-gen algs as they preserve CP (which is often the main purpose of 2-gen) though not EO hence the "pseudo". G-perms are not pseudo2-gen as it does not preserve EO and has rotations which is outside the subgroup. Pseudo 2-gen also refers to {r,R,U} or similar.
