The New Method / Substep / Concept Idea Thread

[Cubinwitdapizza]

Petrus has bad lookahead, and no one is globally sub 10 with it, even with ZBLL.

Just want to point out that there is someone that’s sub 10 with it, I believe there was a guy on the sub 8 with petrus thread that posted a vid of sub 9 or 8 average.

 

[PetrusQuber]

I believe @Tao Yu and @2180161 are sub 10 with Petrus, but I’m not sure what globally means.

which puzzles don't have a method yet? I'm thinking of buying obscure puzzles to develop my own methods

i remeber me trying to solve the floppy hexagonal prism on the simulator and having fun with it

new 3x3 methods are getting scarce

i want to get a maple leaves soon.

This one, maybe.

Good luck!

mf8 Multi Dodecahedron Ball IQ Cube

The mf8 Multi Dodecahedron Ball IQ Cube is an interesting take on the classic megaminx. This puzzle features an internal megaminx but also a variety of movable outer layers. The outer layers are structured around the megaminx in ring-like patterns making this puzzle pleasing to look at and easy...

I think if you solve the Wandering-Tuttminx, you are sure to hold the UWR.
Even Cubeur Manchot has declined the challenge.

"i solved 5 sides once" applies here

Okay, I've gotten "Don't insert an oriented edge" a few times now. I clearly must not be familiar with EO (I'm a square-1 cuber and only got into 3x3 recently). Suppose the edge in that slot is oriented incorrectly. What would I do to make it correct? Would I do that before or during the EO step?
True. Unfortunately that means lots of F or B turns, which aren't the greatest.
I'm not familiar with WaterZZ, but I'll get back to you on that when I am.

Thanks so much!

For EO, learn Kian's EO algs and the EO from J Perm's ZZ tutorial, then use a mix of both.

You won't find much about WaterZZ so here are the steps :
1. Solve EO while making a 2x2 block in the back
2. Extent that 2x2 to a 2x2x3 in the back
3. Solve the front - left F2L pair
4. Solve all the 5 remaining corners at once
5. Solve all remaining 6 edges at once

What I was Thinking about for your method is this :

1. 2 2x2x1s in back
2. EO
3. Solve the DB edge and the FL F2L fair
4. Same last two algs as WaterZZ

Please like this so that I know you read it.
You can PM me or ask me here if you have any questions !

I don't know if this is already a thing, but what if you solved all the centers on a pyraminx and then did one alg to solve it?

Waaayyyy too many cases to be viable, and recognition would suck, unfortunately...

I was just looking at the wiki, and I realized that's basically L4E but with 6 Edges. It seems like 5 edges would have okay recognition...

But probably still way to many algs. L4E already has over 100 and not the best recognition.

EDIT: Also, I have an idea for a method finally. First I have a question, how many algs would there be for PBL on 3x3?

1. Solve a side but there are no regards to permutation.
2. Solve the E Layer like you would in HF.
3. Orient the opposite side with an OLL.
4. IF there aren’t to many algs, do a PBL to solve both layers at once.
4b. If there are to many algs, do one alg to permute corners and one to permute edges.

VARIATION:
1. Solve a cross with no regard to permutation.
2. Then do Pseudo F2L BUT the E layer must be solved.
The do steps 3-4 like the one above.
Gimme your ideas!

That's a variation of Belt

 

[Cubinwitdapizza]

That's a variation of Belt

It’s technically not cuz I don’t solve the middle layer First

 

[ProStar]

It’s technically not cuz I don’t solve the middle layer First

But the general idea is to solve the middle layer then finish the top and bottom layers, even if step one does involve the first layer
