Solve only with Z-perms

[mr. giggums]

2:49.45 2nd try
2:20.38 3rd try
3:51.88 4th try (This is the frist time I got a U-perm)

I used petrus. I makes edge orientation a lot easier.

Edit:

 

[Stefan]

My hands are tired. Also, this is probably the most Z perms I've ever done in one day

Same here, same here.

best time: 39.38 :O

Whoa... lucky, but also very well done. Awesome time. You didn't maybe get it on video?

0.406 Zps

Lol... anybody interested in FZC?

Nope, I very rarely record cubing these days.

How are you guys able to solve with only Z perms. It doesn't affect corners,right?

EDIT : My Bad I tried to scramble using Z perms and saw that it does affect corners if you make rotations,sorry.

 

[uberCuber]

ilikecubing, Stefan has a list of 50 scrambles in the original post that do not affect corners. Pure Z perms do not affect corners no matter how much you rotate the cube.

no. Z perms only affect edges, no matter the orientation of the cube. Also, look at the scrambles in the OP.

OOps Ok,I didn't see them

 

[Stefan]

And if someone is crazy enough to need more scrambles, let me know and I'll compute more.

...for cross

You can always get them from Prisma Timer's edges-only scrambles

 

[riffz]

That is actually two seperate Z perms.

M2UM2U' E2ME2M M'E2M'E2 D'M2DM2

I'm not allowed to cancel moves?

I lol'd.

9:34.48 for the F2L.
Now I'm stuck with some ELL and I have no idea how to do it.

 

[Sa967St]

4:02.64 using reduction so that it was solvable using half turns. I got really lucky, I don't think I'm gonna try this again.

Ah, that's much better then, having them in a timer already. I know PPT does a lot, I just didn't think of it cause I'm still using CCT.

 

[Tim Major]

A sim would be cool. Scrambles edges only. The controls? Hi-games rotations, with space for Z-perm

 

[Stefan]

with space for Z-perm

Ooh, yeah... left space for left Z, right space for right Z!

 

[Zubon]

Doing this makes me realize just how inconsistent my Z perms are. In 2 out of 3 solves I screw the alg and have to start again.

I'm guessing you said this because you use one of those split keyboards (I think I recall seeing it in one of your videos)? Do you know if the different spaces actually send different codes?

I shall try this during my lunch break or when I get home, this looks interesting

 

[Stefan]

Do you know if the different spaces actually send different codes?

No I don't, I wondered about that myself when I posted the idea. Was mostly a joke.

Edit: wrote a little test in Java (GUI with KeyEvents), at least there I get the same values for both spaces. Also, googling "left and right space key" and similar didn't find anything, so I guess it's either complicated or not possible.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

I knew it was a joke, but you sparked my curiosity It'd be pretty sweet if they did have different values though
