The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[Rinfiyks]

People just sit at tables for an hour and try out solutions. Then they write it down and hand it to a judge.

You can read the details in the official rules, but basically you're allowed to have up to 3 of your own cubes (you must supply the cubes), paper, and pen. You may also have colored stickers to place on the cube if you find that helpful (it can be helpful for finding insertions). They give you a piece of paper with the scramble on it, along with spaces to write your solution. At the end of 60 minutes, you must be finished writing and hand the paper in to the judge. Then the judges try to find time before the end of the competition to do the tedious job of checking all the solutions to find out which ones are valid. This is often not a fun job (especially with the pressures of the rest of the competition to deal with at the same time), so please be kind and thoughtful to your judges.

What? :O Couldn't it just be manipulated in some way to find an easy solution?

# E2e) The solution of the competitor must not be in any way related to the scrambling algorithm. Penalty: disqualification of the solve.
# E2f) The competitor must be able to give a clear explanation of the solution.

I need to return my broken GuHong...

Those rules seem a bit fuzzy to me :/ but ok, thanks anyway.

does anyone know?

The order number should be in you account, and will have been given to you (maybe in an email) when you placed your order. The SKU is the product code for the item ( or maybe just it's name ) check the item's page to see if you can find a product code.

Alright so this may seem like a dumb question, but yeah

If i mod my Type AV, does it then become a Haiyan Memory? Or are Memory's produced from plastic molds that already have the mods in them?

Where can I get a list of algs for square 1 optimal cubeshape apart from here? I would actually like algs and not just the pictures like on that website.

mikes sq1 bld has the algs http://skarrie.se/square1blind/ there about the middle

When I am looking at certain events of cubing (Mainly FMC) I see people talking about move cancellations. What are move cancellations?

Scramble: L' R B L D2 L2 B' R2 U2 L2 F' R U'
OLL: M U M' U2 M U M'
PLL: M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U2 M' U2
OLL+PLL: M U M' U2 M U M' M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U2 M' U2
OLL+PLL with cancellations: M U M' U2 M U M U M2 U M' U2 M2 U2 M' U2

Keep in mind that those algs are essentially the same as the ones implied by the site that ben originally mentioned (http://www.alchemistmatt.com/cube/square1list.html), and there are certainly better algs for many of them. Mine are optimal in regard to slice moves, but not necessarily optimal in face turns.

 

[vcuber13]

yes i know that i was just saying that on your site it has the algs, i know for me atleast it is a lot easier than going through the 6 shapes

Mine aren't that bad, either; they're just not the best. And obviously, since they're the ones on my site, they're the ones I learned.

I have the algs from Jianwei Zhu. Was gonna post on my site but got lazy, pm me if you want them.

 

[Joker]

I said or a variation which that is and that alg worked for me but I think your problem is that instead of turning D turn the Dbr face.

EDIT: and you might also need to do a U2' instead of a U2

Headlights in back right
R2' D' R U2 R' D R U2' R

Yes, when you mod your cube it basically becomes a Haiyan memory. The only difference is that the Haiyan Memory has been tensioned and lube by Haiyan himself (I think)

 

[ahmedkl]

can anyone post some scrambles for OLL and PLL only ?

R U R' U R U' R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U'

I believe THIS was used.

Thanks a lot randomtoad, that script is awesome. Regards.
