T-Perm

[Kickflip1993]

Who can do T-Perm in sub 1? If you do, post a vid please.

 

[Erik]

I did it 3 times in 1.00 exactly... but not sub-1 (yet!) you just motivated me to try..

 

[Hadley4000]

Am I the only cuber who hates T perm?

 

[DennisStrehlau]

Yes, i think, that you are the only one

I did it in 1.23 seconds...

Greetings...Dennis

1.80 was my fastest.

 

[apoplectic]

2.26 is my fastest.

 

[Jason Baum]

I've only done the T perm sub 1 once. I think the time was .97. It was right after I had just cleaned and lubed my best speedcube, so the cube felt amazing. My normal T perm is about 1.20.

Am I the only cuber who hates T perm?

No, I used to hate it. Now I'm quite neutral. It's about 2.3 for me. Decent, but not fast. U ccw is very fast. 1.5 for me. Some here can probably get 0.7s. I hate F, N, G, and Y. (all standard algs). V and E are becoming somewhat acceptable when they don't pop.

 

[David]

I got 1.39. F and N are bad for me, my Y and G aren't bad. I need to find better algs for V and E. http://opticubes.com/index.php is the best site I've found for a huge list of PLL's. Jason I'm surprised at you, after all those T perms you did that night I would expect a sub 1.

Jason: Can I do a U2?
Bob: No, but you know what you can use, the T perm.

lol

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Sheesh, how can you hate T perm? I think it's my favourite permutation of them all

 

[Cerberus]

My best is around 1.4 my normal is like 1.7.
I hate V and F the Ns are moderate and G is nice.

 

[Crzyazn]

ehh....1.7 on average

Am I the only cuber who hates T perm?

Not at all. In fact, the T-perm is among my slowest PLLs.

That's hilarious! It's not actually generally possible to solve the whole cube with T perm, is it? I mean the edges stay in a 4-position orbit, so there's no way to fix them, with no other moves, is there? Or am I missing something?

I tried it and got all the corners finished pretty easily but then got stuck on the edges. Is that what happened to Jason too? It's amazing how far you can go with literally just the T perm.

Oh, and I'm terribly slow on the T perm - my best is around 2.5 seconds - but it's one of my 3 fastest algorithms (I'm about equally fast (slow) with U and H).

I think you're right Mike, it is impossible with just the T-perm (I think).
Mine averages about 1.7-1.8 I guess, I can sub1.5 though. Maybe my best was 1.39 (although I may be making that up). My algorithms are generally slow though...

 

[Lofty]

You guys are right it is impossible to solve the cube using only the T-perm. But Bob scrambled Jason's cube only by executing loads of random T-perms on it.
One of the most fun nights of cubing I've ever had.
For me its 1.34 best and sub-1.5 average

 

[Erik]

Side point: since we are already talking about sub-1 times.. has anybody ever gotten a time of 0.98 or 0.99 on a stackmat? On mine it seems as if 0.97 is the closest sub-1 to 1 whole second I can get.

 

[jtjogobonito]

@ Erik: I actually got them both.

As for best time it is 1.31

Bob: No, but you know what you can use, the T perm.

Hahaha, that was awesome. Mike, after the Stetson Open, a few of us were hanging out and Bob takes my cube and starts doing of T perms from every rotation. I had no idea what he was doing, but after at least 20 T perms he hands me my cube and says "Your cube is solvable using only the T perm". After a while I got to the point where the whole cube was solved but off by a U2. That's when I said "Can I do U2?" to which Bob replied "No, but you know what you can use: the T perm." It was hilarious, in a you had to be there kind of way.

Erik: Weird, I was trying this for a few minutes just now and got a lot of .97s but no .98 or .99s. I also got plenty of 1.00s and 1.02s, but no 1.01s. What kind of stackmat are you using? I'm using the newer Generation 2 models (where you can store times and stuff).

It's impossible to get 13.37 on my stackmat, I've tried it 98432983 times...
