The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

If you are two moves away (Such as R U) then it's a DNF
+2 penalty only applies if it can be solved in one move, such as L, or U2, or R2, etc.

So no, it's either solved, +2 penalty, or DNF

question for the Reese brothers d yu guys ever ube together and/or show eachother new tricks etc?

 

[EricReese]

Not really. We cube seperate. Though whenever I find a new alg for a PLL or something else I go to his room and show him. Hes using my N perms now because of it.

He has nothing to contribute to me so no. I show him stuff occassionally.

And Eric, those N Perms aren't yours. I only switched to them because I saw that they can be performed fast with practice(even if you are slow performing them)

I don't completely understand skewb notation. Can someone link me to a YouTube video or webpage that explains Skewb notation. Or if can easily explain it to me on here, thanks!
Thanks again.

How long does it take for V cube 5 break in? Been pi modded, but some sides came tighter than the others.....

Is the QJ pyraminx with the tiles on it kegal to use in competition?

 

[freshcuber]

As long as the tiles are no more than 1.5 mm thick. I'm pretty sure it's legal.

Are you required to use letters for both corners and edges for multi-BLD? I mean, 2 cubes memo will be eg. PIAOENXR 284639 EFODNIQ 457823.
How can I make a story out of that?

On qqtimer, I had done a lot of solves, then accidentally did something, which might have been pressing a certain key, and it reset, so I lost all of them. Does anyone know how this happened?

Doesn't the story based memo uses letter pairs? I think I read something here about this.

Check this thread out.

You are not required to do anything. Just find the memo system which suits you best.

Good afternoon.

If my F2L averages 15 seconds and I know all PLLs except Na Nb E F V and I use 2 look OLL, what would you expect my times to be?

 

[ilikecubing]

between 22-25s

F perm is easy. Just do the setup moves (bar on left) R' U' F' then T perm it, then instead of the F' at the end of the T perm, just do U R. It's easy

Nice I need to stop being lazy and learn some algs. Is that the most popular F perm?

I like R' U2 R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' F

 

[EricReese]

MOST popular? Dunno about the most, I know quite a few people who use it. It's very good and is easy sub 2able. If you want an alg thats proven to be sub 1-able, then use this. I don't think its as nice as an alg, but it has like 5 less moves in it. And If you learn this F perm alg then learning the V perm alg is easy. They are basically the same alg

V perm -> R' U R' U' y R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R F
F perm -> R' U2 R' U' y R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' F (I Personally like the T perm variation above) (bar on back)

Its like an extra U in the beginning and an extra U' at the end.

edit: and the alg above mine is the exact same as mine, but his has a d' instead of my U' before the rotation, and his doesnt rotate. I find the d' awkward though. So just remove the U' y and replace it with a d' if you like his alg more. Or just copy his.

 

[Rinfiyks]

Hmm, ok. I just dug out my old algorithm sheet which I made when I decided to learn full PLL a year ago. I put down these algorithms.
V: R' U R' U' y x R' F R' F' R2 U' R' U R U' x' I definitely like yours with no x rotations
F: R' U2 R' U' y R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' F I think I'll go for this one because it seems more finger friendly.

Any suggestions on these other algorithms? Have I made a drastic choice?:
E: R2 U R' U' y (R U R' U')*2 R U R' y' R U' R2
Na: L U' R U2 L' U R' L U' R U2 L' U R' U'
Nb: L' U R' U2' L U' L' R U R' U2' L U' R U'
By the way, I really really like <L, U, R> algorithms (I'm left handed), this is why I chose these N perms. Not sure how they'll be when I learn them, but I remember they felt smooth when I tried them.
