Random Cubing Discussion

[Rpotts]

It starts turning at about 1.5 and finishes at around 4.9, ridiculous.

here is the first one

Hey... just a thought: would it be any good to solve 2x3x1 blocks on either side like in Roux, then solve the front and back centers + bottom edges using intuition and finally the last layer like in fridrich?

 

[Jaycee]

^ Most people find that as the "Noob's Roux F2L"

 

[Phlippieskezer]

Isn't that known as "rouxfop"?

 

[Specs112]

That gets suggested at least once a month.

 

[4.]

OK... but is it any good?

 

[5BLD]

Nope.

 

[tasguitar7]

Does anyone else like the idea of one on one "race" solves? (2+ cubers, same scramble, start at same time etc)

 

[RyanReese09]

It's called head to head. And it's happened in some competitions. E.g. Newark Head to Head Competition.

You can get an Average of 12 that is lower than your average of 5.

Yes... At one point my PB average of 12 better then my PB average of 5.

lol, I was doing some solves today and my 12 was .02 less than my 5 and I got interested in the fact that your 12 could be better than your 5... hence random cubing discussion thread

It sounds odd to me. Wouldn't your average of 5 become the best subset of your average of 12? Thus, avg5 would be always lower than avg12.

Strange that I didn't know this fact since statistics is part of the title of my university course. Also, I love when counter-intuitive results can be demonstrated with such a simple-looking example. Cool.

For 6x6, my PB avg12 is sub-3, my PB avg5 is not.
