No, I mean the website itself isn't working.

Pictures aren't loading for you either?

I've always wanted a timer that could hide all your solve times until you wanted them to show. This would prevent PB fails from nervousness. It would also be cool to hide all of them until an ao50 for example.
It's not just the pictures that don't work. The solver doesn't work either.
EDIT: I'm curious, does JARCS use brute force solving?

You could (in qqTimer for example) just move your window offscreen until it covers your times? Maybe it's different in other timers, idk I never use them.
EDIT: Now for my own thought; Isn't the direction of M arbitrary? Couldn't M just as easily have been M'? And E and S by extension

M, E and S are clockwise when looking down the x, y and z axis, so it's not arbitrary. Although x, y and z do make up a left-handed coordinate system, which is a little unusual.

That's what I meant by arbitrary. That the 'right hand coordinate system' could have been chosen instead.

Always annoyed me that y follows U, x follows R and z follows F but M does not follow R and neither does E (I think?)
EDIT: I've been messing around with 2 gen megaminx solving and I realised that the last layer corners aren't automatically solved (or can be AUFed to be solved) once the 'F2L' is solved. Why?

Do R2' U' R2 F2 R2' F2' U' F2 R2 F2' R2' U2 R2 U'. This is an edge 5-cycle, and edges can be solved 2-gen (I didn't use a 2-gen alg because this one is shorter). Now do a U move. It is now a corner 5-cycle, and because it was reached by doing an edge cycle and a U move, it can also be reached 2-gen, which means corner permutation can be changed in <R,U>.

You can hide stats on qqTimer, or with Prisma, you can move the window down so the times/stats aren't on the screen.
I noticed this too. I'm not sure whether the pictures not working is related to the solver not working or not.
Why not just do R2 U2' R2' U' R2 U2' R2' to show you can permute them 2-gen?

Are you guys out enjoying Christmas or something? Madness.

Heh. My family has been over, and I've hardly had a chance to cube.
To all fixed cross/dual cross solvers: if you had to give up the color(s) you solve right now and pick a new cross color, which would you choose?
To color neutral solvers, which cross color would you pick if you for some reason had to solve fixed cross for the rest of your cubing career?

Yellow or red.

White. Because that's the color of cross I use on big cubes.

Got a Fisher cube for Christmas and having trouble recognizing PLLs. Any pointers?

Sorry realized it's a YJ wheel.

Track where the pieces should go to identify PLLs. So if you see that there are 3 corners needing to be cycled then it's an A perm and so on

Haven't practiced in a while, but somehow I got a 4x4 AO12 of about 1:07. Before I was always around 1:15 avg. Also, on 3x3 I still manage to get sub 15 averages, even a sub 13 AO5. The thing is that I mostly get good solves(11-13s) when I turn quite fast and just "kinda" look ahead. Rather than following pieces, I try to keep an overview over the whole cube as I'm solving. It's hard to do and doesn't always work, but when it does, it's awesome and I get good times. Going slower and trying to look ahead more makes me slower, as well as just spamming tps without looking ahead of course.
I wonder how people generally progress after sub 15?
Btw am I the only one who has big problems learning COLL? PLL and OLL was fine, but COLL with all these cases based on the same OLL... I forget them all the time, or mistake them for another alg. I have the same problem with CLL on 2x2, which I decided to finally learn because I want to get into 2x2 more.

For me... Once I broke sub-15 (~4 months ago?) I went from there to sub-14 in a week or two and then haven't improved since lol.

I saw that and read it as 'Fischer Cube'. I guess I've been playing too much chess recently...
