Random Cubing Discussion

Solve two opposite faces, ignoring permutation and the E slice.

Ooh, I'm liking that. It feels like an expanded Roux block to me, not like Sq-1 cubeshape so much. I'm doing L and R.
Hrm.

Edit:
How many algs would that be after that step? ish.

Edit 2: this is looking nicer and nicer with each solve

 

[Kirjava]

It's like Sq1 in the way that it uses a 'flowcharting' based method to solve it. Unless you're doing it differently to me

I just had a solve where phase 2 was R2B2L2 N perm. ****'s lucky.

Sexy.

Anyone tried the 30th year anniversary wooden cube yet?

What would be a badass way to apply Triangular Francisco to big cubes?

Human Kociemba is sexy as ****.

But how does one transfer this to big cubes?
It doesn't need to be good. Just sexy and TF.

It's ugly.

You're really pleased with yourself, aren't you? You also posted that in the youtube description.

What would be a badass way to apply Triangular Francisco to big cubes?

maybe:

-opposite centers
-triangle
-4 centers
-edges

then whatever else TFM does on 3x3.

2x2 method idea:
0) 2x1 block of the same color on left half of D face.
1) Orient remaining 6 pieces without messing up the block.
2) Finish sorting by placing the other two pieces of the D color.
3) PBL.

Step 1 can easily be done in inspection, and steps 1+2 should be reasonable. Step 1 can often be done efficiently 2gen, and step 2 always can. I kinda like the idea of pure 2gen up to PBL.

Cool method bro

2.65, 3.16, 2.65, 2.36, 3.15, 4.91, 2.77, 3.83, 3.58, 1.34, 3.80, 3.40 = 3.14

92 of the top 100 averages are from 2010.

Orient remaining 6 pieces without messing up the block.

Do I smell CLS?

Do I smell CLS?

It's a similar concept to CLS/SS. However, since you are orienting 6 pieces instead of orienting 5 and placing 1, you have more freedom, and you can often start off with a few moves that make the rest very easy.
