[Help Thread] Square-1 Discussion

Why not insert FD and solve the rest of the cube? The alg count is reasonable even if you include parity cases.

I just thought it would be more efficient to combine the steps rather than insert and pll

Sorry, I meant to say
'Why not insert FD and solve the rest of the cube in one alg?

 

[Cale S]

So I was messing around with sq1 and discovered the screw method accidentaly (bummer realizing it was alreadt a thing), but I was wondering if there is an alg set that inserts FD and solves CP simoultaneosly? Sorry if obvious

Thanks

there are these algs:

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but what to the fast roux 'n screw users average?

For cube shape, do any of you fast(er) squaners reduce to fist-fist or fist-square instead of scallop-kite or scallop-scallop for various cases?

Fist square is 6 moves so you don't reduce anything to it.

Other than that I think you'd have to be more specific.

I don't even know what I was thinking, I meant shield-shield and shield-square not fist-fist and fist-square sorry.

Optimal CS is of cause better, and there are cases that don't work well with the "scallop-kite" reduction.

Is there a better opposite parity than
/ (3,3) / (-1,0) / (2,-4) / (4,-2) / (0,-2) / (-4,2) / (1,-5) / (3,0) / (3,3) / (3,0), because that alg sucks and I don't know how/if it can be done fast

I thought that alg had died out.

/3,3/1,0/-2,-2/2,0/2,2/0,-2/-1,-1/0,3/-3,-3/0,2/-2,-2/

or

/ -3,0 / 0,3 / 0,-3 / 0,3 / -4,0 / 0,2 / -2,0 / 4,0 / 0,-2 / 0,2 / -1,1 / -3,0 / 3,0 /

Just checked out your web page, and it is really good, however What is Yau -1?

i recently got sub 1 on square 1 but im not sure how to improve it seems like my next steps are just to do thousands of solves and learn more algs but what else could i do

I'm not sure. Sub-1 is pretty fast. Are you sure you can get faster?

 

[PyraMaster]

hello everybody,

I just got a square-1 and I want to learn how to solve it. What is the best method to use? Could you give me a link on a good video on how to do it? What is a reasonable average to get to with out too much practice?

Thanks
