whats the shortest/easyest square1 parity to learn?

 

[HavoCentral]

unfortunately there is none. most are about the same length.
but i recently found a weird way to parity
first i put the two parity edges in the DL and DB slots and do
1,0 / 0,-1 / 0,-3 / 5,0 / -5,0 / 0,3 / 0,1 / 5,0
that switchs UF-UB DB-DR
then i do this alg to switch UF-UB DF-DB
1,0 / 5,-1 / -5,1 / 5,0

it end up being just as long as all the other parity algs, but since both start for 3 or 2 then go backwards
it ends up being way easer to remember and most of the turns are only on one layer so you dont have to align both layer as often

plus they are both good algs to learn anyway for special cases. lol

i havnt fully learned my s1 yet, but i figured this out just playing around.

anyone else do it this way?
or think its a good/better way?

Does anyone know if there's a way to generate cubes in forum posts?
For example, or [lastlayer]configuration[/lastlayer], and cubes will be displayed.

Edit: okay, I seem to have found it by accident, lol. Can I scramble it?

Edit 2: just found this by clicking the cube. Question resolved!

from what i understand there is a way to do it with this site

but i never figured it out

accidentally started a thread in the wrong section, is theree a way to move or delete it?

Yeah, I'm just messing around with it in the sandbox.
There's one problem though. For the fc definition, 54 facelets need to be defined in the

if the string is in the url itself, try tinyurl or bit.ly to shorten the URL

thats all i can think of

If it's an alg do case=URFDLB'2

Example RUR'U'

But how to you do algs on big cubes? Mine are always solved no matter what moves I do to it.

See here.
The system applies the algorithm to the cube and displays the resulting state.

from the list of notations in the alg part, i can only see a 5x5 as the biggest possible

This is pretty much my problem.

 

[HavoCentral]

i can do 4x4 and 5x5

Hey,
can http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.YJ_Pinwheel_Magic_Intelligence_Test_Cube_-25566 be considered as Fisher cube? If not, whats the name of that puzzle? Is there any other variation of Fisher cube than Octagon/Barrel?

 

[Timoke6]

is a rubiks magic, single- or doublestrung?

That's a windmill cube

A Rubik's magic should have 16 strings. Often they come doublestrung, but they work better if you spread them out evenly so none of the strings are doubled.

Hey,
Do you guys have any good methods for recognition? I know a few 1 look oll/pll algs but I'm having trouble connecting it (in my head) to the correct case.

Hey,

I tried to only look at the cube while doing an algorithm while it was in the correct state. Like, do an R-Perm while reading it (or just not looking at the cube) then look at the cube and do it again. For the OLL's I wrote down which OLL when applied to a solved cube would set up another one, then I'd solve that while looking - with OLL's in particular (cause they can take 6 or so repetitions before you get to the correct state) if you'll looking at the cube while doing it over and over the last layer just becomes a mess.
So for example the Square OLLs set the cube up for the lighting ones, I'd go back and forth between these so I was always doing the correct OLL for the given state (or doing it on a solved cube while not paying attention).
