One-Answer Other Question Thread

[Thom S.]

Does anyone have either a blank OLL/PLL sheet without algorithms or a file that we could write our own in. Seems like everyone uses there own

If it's a PDF you could ask the Maker of it, if he could give you the original File. If it's a Picture, use the Image Editing Software of your liking and edit it(Crediting the original Author should be done either way)

In an official WCA competition, are you allowed to help your BLD memo by saying stuff out loud? I would think not, as it would be distracting to other competitors, but it would be nice to know for sure.

You can say it out loud quietly I believe, but not too loud.

Y'all are probably tired of seeing this video lol. I apologize in advance

anyway, what is my turning style?

 

[Hazel]

@greentgoatgal it seems a bit rough when you're turning quickly like in LL, but otherwise smooth I think

Hey guys,
I´m Viktor and one of the fastest speedcubers in Austria, long time no see...
anyway I just started practising for the Revers-Solving Event for the RedBull tournament...
and my question now is: does anyone know a good methode for solution and/or eye orientation? (i hope you know what i mean)

kind regards to all new and old cubers!
Viktor

What I do is use one hand to solve my cube into the scramble like I would OH, and use my other hand to hold up the scrambled cube to look at it.

Hi! I think we met at the Austrian Open (I was visiting and judging). I just read "Floridsdorf, Wien, Austria, Austria" in your profile - me too!

hey guys,

how do you find/fetch scrambles for solves like the wrs

i want to reconstruct


ok bye

cool

http://wcadb.net/ or the WCA database export.

If it's 2×2×2 or 3×3×3 and the results aren't on the WCA site yet, you can also use Cube Explorer to generate another scramble directly from the video (e.g. what I did when I reconstructed Feliks's 4.75).

Total noob here. My best 3x3x3 is 1:15 so I've got that going for me...

Is my 4x4x4 broken?

No, but it is unsolvable in that state. You need to twist the corner manually, by taking the cube apart. (On some cubes you can physically twist the corner, but I don't think that's possible on a Rubik's 4x4.)

thanks...i was afraid of that. no idea how that even happened.

I have a photocopy of an old document that contains some relatively modern notation and it got me wondering; Do we have solid evidence of the first documented modern 3x3x3 notation we use today? (R U R2 L D' b F) etc.

 

[1973486]

David Singmaster is credited with inventing normal notation (considering it's called Singmaster notation), so he'd probably have the oldest evidence of it.

Is there a thread that explains how much time can you give to each CFOP step to be sub 25 or sub 20?
