Random Cubing Discussion

[StachuK1992]

The only real hub is emailing me or bumping one of my old threads ;p

I'm bored of cubing. I want somebody to indulge my laziness and tell me which method I should choose for my next main.

If you're bored of solving it yourself you could always build your own robot to solve it for you!? ;-)

Is there a hub for L2Lx discussions? I searched using the forum search, but all I could come up with was stachu's website thread. I don't feel like continually spamming this thread up with L2Lk stuff.

These are the threads I know of.

Stachu has some(all) "two F2L edges at a time (while preserving corners,...)"-algs on his site.
So if you really run into a case where all F2L edges are in U-layer, you could just do CLL and than use these algs twice.


P.S. I more or less stopped(paused) with L2L4 ... I still think there should be people who can learn to solve a complete single layer very fast, ... but it seems I'm not one of them.

P.S.2 when getting a free solved F2L edge during a waterman solve (before or after CLL) I'm was faster when flipping over to L2L4 ( one reason might be better recognition with L2L , the other my limited waterman repertoire )

one of the few scrambles where i can lookahead to f2l during inspection

whenever i do CN, i sometimes accidently solve a white pair instead of the orange (in this case)

So, I decided that I simply don't have the time to dedicate to L2Lk right now. I'll be switching to a columns first/corners first-esque method after Brown. I'm already sub-20 with it, so I feel some potential.

If Einstein were a cuber, he'd say E=zMz'.

Hard limit for 3x3x3

Assuming a one move scramble at light speed, the hard limit for 3x3x3 speedcubing is 1.418×10^-10 seconds. (According to Wolfram Alpha).

Just thought that was neat.

And what if the cube is smaller?

uh huh, and end with a pile of smoking plastic shavings?

The time will be shorter

 

[Specs112]

But once light-speed cubing is possible, the WCA will have to rewrite the rules to take into account time dilation and reference frames and stuff and it's going to get very messy.

I just thought it was kinda cool

(I used green guhong edges)

 

[RNewms27]

That must have potential to be art in some way. Very, very, difficult art.

Why don't we start keeping record of all the reconstructions being done. The reconstruction thread is just too messy to find all the reconstructions we want. Maybe we should add a website where we can add reconstructions of anyone we want. Each cuber could have their own page full with strictly just their reconstructions. Maybe an add on to the wiki?
