The 3x3x3 Example Solve Thread

Neuro · Feb 18, 2019

Roux, 38. This one was weird.

I will say one thing about my solves: I intentionally show the most efficient solution that works in a linear, speedsolve-esque fashion. They aren't necessarily representative of my speedsolve solutions or even those of top Roux solvers. I want to show the potential of the method, even in basic form. If you would like to see speedsolve reconstructions paired with my posts, let me know and I'll be sure to include them.

Roux, 34. The LSE has a very nice EOLR solution that's worth looking at. Also nice multi-slotting in SB
