Heise came up with ZZ? Wow. But I hope this doesn't lead to another Fridrich/CFOP split ;)
Nice find.

This is fascinating. Doesn't Heise already have a method named after him though?

On a more random note, I had a dream last night about meeting Michael Womack and punching him in the face.

This confirms two things which I have suspected for a while.
1. My unconscious mind is pretty ****ed up.
2. I shouldn't spend so much time on this forum. Maybe I should go outside once in a while.
 
Maybe the most important thing is that Zbigniew was the one that saw that it was unique enough to develop, create variations, and have a website.

Nice find.

Edit: and the next post is a proto-Roux! Cubing history is fascinating.

"PS: This method is useless for sub20
cubing."

I wonder (I'll find out now) when he first published/discussed the method we now know as Roux. Because this is very similar.
 
I had a thought today. What if one of us hit our heads or something and had cubing amnesia. MEANING: we couldn't remember how to cube but in our mind somewhere there were all of the tricks and things that we have learned over the years. You would look at your desk and say, I must have been able to solve these at one point because I see myself on youtube but now I can't even make one side. But your muscle memory is still there. What do you think would happen? I think that a person would most likely start learning it over and then over time figure it out and be able to progress faster because they already know all the steps. This would be interesting to test but I don't want to give anyone a headache.

Like waking up one day and seeing a kid with a cube and just owning him without knowing where you learned how to solve. It would be scary. And having alot of cubes without knowing why you have them. I would probably sit there and stare for awhile before I attempted to do anything.

no you would wake up one day and you would see a kid and you didn't know how to solve it but you thought you did haha. they would own you but then you would just have to send them to your wca profile or whatever. but then you couldn't do it in person so it wouldn't matter. I don't know. it was a random cubing thought so here is the appropriate place :)

I've always sort of wondered this myself, but for slightly different reasons. Some of the most fun I've ever had was when I started looking at a cube for the first time and tried to see if I could solve it myself.
