Random Cubing Discussion

Max, Tymon and Yiheng compete this weekend

some time ago kirjava made a document showing the solution to all the ollcps with just trigger combos
he even learned all of it and could solve OLLCP every time

the site is off, but you can access it on wayback machine

OLLCP (hax) - Speedsolving.com Wiki

All puzzles, all the time. Come in and discuss the latest puzzles, techniques, competitions, learn to cube, and more!

web.archive.org

some years later he posted a method to solve the last layer with two looks. it was something like solving one block on the last layer then solving the rest

and he used the same technique, he combined common triggers and short algs to find all the solutions

but I can't find the page. if I'm not mistaken it was called the flex method

you can find on his github but I can't find it either. =\

kirjava real name is thom barlow

EDIT: After some investigation I found the method. is called duplex, not flex

dupleẍ

Wow, this is really interesting! Thank you for your reply, I will look into it!

That's the one I use and the first in the list on speedcubedb
Even with a video

Oops, I meant y2 R U R' U R F R F' U2 M' U R U' r

it seems nice
I use fat sune on RF cancelling in fat sune on RB =P
I might change to that one

I use F R U R' Dw R' U2 R' F R F' but I'm not sure if it's the best alg either. Might switch too

You WVers out there, do you try and force EO before inserting the pair to give you a case?

sometimes I do that with cfop and force oll skip, but it take too many moves

WV is something I only do occationally, despite knowing a chunk of it at some point.
Personally, I don't force it, since that leads to too many moves in most cases.
I am weary of what Edges are oriented during all of F2L (Sledge instead or R U' R' for example) so that EO can be completed at 3rd or 4th slot.

Not really cubing related but a funny story about triggers and muscle memory

In my company I had to change my password that I used the last 10 Years.
It's already 2 month ago but still, every time I sit at my keyboard I type the old one first, then the new one with some errors and on the 3rd attempt i type the right one

I assume it’s somewhat up to personal preference and which algs you use, but what is the best order to do a PLL time attack?

Well, you can't cancel moves, so in my opinion, any order that ends in a solved cube would be ok because you will know if it is valid in the end

You can put your plls on twizzle and find an order that ends in a solved cube

But that's just me

I guess you'd want to minimise regrips by doing all the PLLs with similar turning at the same time (e.g. MU first, RUF, RUD, etc); and maybe end with an alg that doesn't end in homegrip because there is no alg that follows it that would need a regrip.
Maybe ending an alg with an R'/R and starting another with the same move to combine and give an R2 could be a nice move save? (can't really argue it's a cancellation although it is; you're just doing your 2 R moves fast)
I don't do PLL TAs so I really have no clue, just some thoughts.

How many regrips do you have to do when you type your password?

My space bar is broken and I always have to regrip to copy and paste a space when I’m typing my essays

I have use an iPad, so 3 billion regrips

That’s not just regrip, that’s rotation
