Random Cubing Discussion

[Coolster01]

Is possible to force a LL skip? What algorithm knowledge do you need to have?

Technically you could leave an insertion and then do commutators or common PLL algs or something so that you'd be left with R U' R' xD

When ever my cousin would have me make a layer on 2x2, I would do this to get a last layer skip. He got annoyed and left me to cube.

L' U2 R U2 R' U2 L is a nice case to know; it is a pair commutator [L' U2 L, Dw2]. Two similar cases are:
[R' Dw R, U]
[R' Dw R, U']

But is there any way of doing it fast?
Because if you start commutating the time will be really long

I guess you could do something like this with ZZ:
1- EOLine
2- Left 2x2
3- Permute corners during last slot with ZZ-porky v1 (or v2 if you can)
4- Something similar to WV during the right 2x2 (harder with an extra corner to orient that isn't in the U layer, but there's no other slot to preserve)
5- Permute edges as you insert the last slot, probably easier in two stages

thanks
anyway, I will stay with fridrich xD

managed to stop my gen2 stackmat from march 2008 on x.99

Spoiler

 

[Kirjava]

uhm

is that one of the ones that runs at 60hz?

yeah pretty sure it is, I think this is only the 2nd time I've seen a gen2 stop on x.99

 

[Kirjava]

I know 0.99 is impossible, but maybe 1.99 is? try getting it again...

cba actually working it out atm

pretty sure "impossible" is actually just "extremely unlikely", I'm pretty sure the other time I stopped it on x.99 was actually 0.99.

I just saw YouTube advertisements for Jayden McNeill and Tony Fisher's YouTube channels.

So yeah.

I haven't seen Jayden's, but I've seen Tony Fisher's multiple times. I've also seen RedKB's, but not for a while.

When I participated on my first official competition back in 2005, the world record holder for 3x3 was Shotaro Makisumi with a single WR 12.11 and an average WR 14.52.
Those times motivated me to dig myself into speedcubing, trying to go from a Petrus-beginner 0:50 to a sub20 Rouxer, and further on. Although I can achive better results from time to time now, I still keep in mind those numbers and trying to beat them as a challange.

Today, right after I sat down to do some solvings, I started with these:

Exact average and almost exact single...

A tribute to a great and inspirational cuber (provided by sheer luck). :tu

I remeber when I was so happy of having a sub Mihn Thai single. (22.95) lol
but the world record back then was 7.08
EDIT: y so many tabs?

The world record when I started was 5.66. Suddenly I don't feel like I've been cubing for very long My current PB single beats the WR before 7.08, but I'm still not even near a sub-7.08 single yet...

Sometimes I like to think that I've spent the last 1 and a half years catching up to the history of world records.

So far I'm only caught up to 2006 .

Important (checking often) tabs, todo lists, "don't forget" tabs and "read/watch this if you have some time" sites.

Same here :c

This makes me feel young again in the cubing world.

I sort of started when the 7.08 video was posted on youtube.
