[Unofficial] <r,u,f> in 39.77 seconds - double vision

[Stefan]

I had a REALLY hard time flipping two edges since I don't actually know what cycles the algs do. So here's a 2 edge flip:
flip FL and FD: (r2 u2 r2 f)2 u' (f r2 u2 r2)2 u

Yes, that's exactly how I do it, too. Same idea as with my old blindsolving method doing this:

Tperm
(L d' L) Tperm (L' d L')

Any configuration that can be reached from solved by an even number of quarter turns can be solved in <r,u,f>.

Wrong. Dude, now I'm disappointed.

I didn't notice any errors

That's because you read it after my dozen or so edits (Oh wait, I guess you mean the video, not the method post. In that case I'm glad. It's probably because they're minor and overall the message is clear.)

and as always I'm amazed by your knowledge.

Thanks. Though, while I thought of the double buffer idea earlier (for blindcubing) and thus it's certainly "knowledge" for me know, it was still new to me to actually use it the not-always-alternating way I do here (probably because it's much easier to do sighted), and thus it was also a bit creative. Which I'm happy about. I like to explore new things and come up with new stuff. This is one of the nice things of pursuing rather unknown territory like blindcubing a few years ago or <r,u,f> even now: you have a good chance to come up with something new. Sometimes you're even forced to, because what you know so far doesn't get the job done, or not done well. And if it's really unknown or barely walked territory, you also get to brag about world records almost for free. Yay for easy world records.

Well I'd argue that it wasn't an easy world record, just based on the difficulty of the challenge, but I didn't create this method. How long did it take for you to figure this stuff out? You are the essence of pioneer in the sense that you MADE a very well known blind fold method, and now this? I couldn't come close to even solving the cube without a guide, and it's only recently that I can grasp group theory, but it's stuff like this that just amazes me. Making a method just seems very, very far out of reach for myself. I can understand much more now than when I started, have you just been at this longer than I? And as a result you can understand more? I just have to think mentally you're on a different level than me.

astonishing!

offtopic: which one of your aipteks do you prefer atm?
which video editing program do you use?

Hm, I thought it was that, but after trying a few things I guess not. Perhaps "an even number of turns in sqtm when solving in <R,U,F,M,E,S>"? You can solve U2, UR, and UR' in <r,u,f>.


EDIT: 1:25.95 <r,u,f>! I'm getting better.
