Really tough challenge for 3x3x3

[mcciff2112]

Can you use inverts?

Inverts of what? Of the scramble? That would be stupid.

Uhhh inverts such as r' u' f'....

Uhm, have you ever thought about your question? Try to solve the scramble u without using u'.

u3?

 

[miniGOINGS]

hahah i figured out a way to do CLL with only R U and F turns!!!

 

[byu]

can you do it with r u and f turns though?

 

[qqwref]

I've tried solving <r,u> before, which seems to be as hard as this (maybe even harder). I can't think of any way to do <r,u,f> other than to solve the whole thing with a commutator and huge amounts of setup moves (which I don't care to do XD)

Here's a 3-cycle of corner-edge pairs:r u r' u' r' f r2 u' r' u' r u r' f' u.

ok
My first go I got 6:47.33
I'll try get sub 5

EDIT: next solve was 56.56 o.O
It's really easy once you know how to do it

EDIT 2: 47.80
gotta get sub 30

EDIT 3: 41.16

EDIT 4: yay I got sub 30
26.11

 

[qqwref]

Luke.... you're dumb, and you're doing <R,U,F>. Arnaud's talking about where you can only do double-layer turns....

<R,U,F> is seriously easy, anyone fast should be able to get sub-30 without even trying.

ah lol, I didn't realize that xD
And a little politeness would be appreciated >.>

Sorry, but seriously, READ THE THREAD! Something like five other people have made the EXACT same mistake already, and people have told them exactly what they are doing wrong.

Besides - if Arnaud (someone who is clearly very experienced cubing-wise, given his FMC skillz and number of posts) thinks this challenge is "really tough", you're not going to be solving it in under 30 seconds within a few tries, no matter who you are. That alone should tell you you're not doing it right.

For the last part I was think "wtf how couldn't he do this"

Sorry about not reading through all the mistakes >.<

 

[Dene]

I give up after like 1 min >.< . WAY too hard. I got 3 edges of the cross.

 

[Stefan]

I can solve the corners. Does that count?

 

[Neroflux]

i do cross and 2 corners ;D.

 

[AvGalen]

I can solve the corners. Does that count?

It counts as 8 out of 26 pieces solved to me. Keep going Stefan, you will get it

I will also change the start post because the amount of confusion about such a simple assignment is astounding. I would think that people that are going to try a "really tough" challenge would at least know about notation.

qqref (Michael) is almost right about the way I solved this:

Spoiler

long-repetitive cycles (not commutators) and setup-moves

I will look into ksolve tonight at home

 

[d4m4s74]

got it in 10 minutes

but It was kinda lucky

 

[AvGalen]

Uhm, unless you get the equivalent of a last layer skip you won't solve this challenge "kinda lucky"

For everyone that got it, could you leave a clue how you did it? And a clue should go between

I got as far as a 2x2x2 block, and then I was done. As in...not done =D

Right, that was my point...

You are a wise man
and getting a 2x2x2 block is quite impressive already

This is the puzzle that goes with this problem see fused 3x3x3 http://www.speedcubing.com/ton/fused.htm

BTW if you need more challenging fused puzzles your should try a fused 4x4

I also have a fused 5x5 , I can not think about a fused 6x6 or 7x7

Nope, not at all.
