The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

Hmm, there should be batch files that come with it, or maybe I made them myself...

It runs from command line, I'll edit this post soon.

EDIT: Just downloaded it again, and there is a file called "run.bat"; which has the following code:

@java -cp ACube3.jar ACube %1

You can also add things before the "%1" to change how the solver works (STM, only optimal solutions, all optimal solutions, etc.), by changing the code to this:

@java -cp ACube3.jar ACube s o a%1

Simply double-clicking on the file will run the solver in cmd. Then just type in the cube position (~U 401 ? ? UB...).

Hope that explains it.

Thank you so much

I ordered some V-cubes today. How long will it approximately take for them to arrive in Belgium?

R2 U R2 U' R2

Another useful alg: R u' R' U' R u R'

EDIT: Also, R' U' R U R

I'm not sure what that last alg does. Edit: Got it.
Also, facepalm for not noticing R2 U R2 U' R2

Triangular Francisco?

Yup.

Can someone provide me with the link of any good offline cube timer?

EDIT: a larger numeric size of the timer, if any?

I personally use CCT or Prisma.

Yea, I have a lot of other stuff, but I can't remember any of it right now, and it's hard to explain.

How does the BH-method (for BLD solving) work? I suppose it's based on commutators and cycles of 3, but how they work and what do you need to learn to use this method?

If you can remember the alg I could probably figure it out.
For the triangle, I usually either make a 1x3 or 2x2 to start, is there any other ways I should look for?

Eh, I originally tried 1x3x3 and then finish, but it has really lousy lookahead and leaves too many pieces unsolved. I generally plan out the 1x2x2 and then try to trace where the other two corners will be.

3 days or so, it's really fast.

Anyone know what mech the pillowed QJ 4x4 and 5x5 use?

They are on new arrivals on witeden.

Does anyoNe know how to make a mini mat or a stackmat mat? I don't want a paper one

Well, I live in Nebraska, U.S., and mine came in about 2 weeks. However, i looked at the ship date on the package, and it took 4 days to ship from Corinth, Greece to my house. So they will come very quickly for you.

Is this really over 600 mL (which as I understand = CC) or do I fail at converting units?
Would it be a good substitute for Lubix?

Hi, I just started floppy cubing and i would like some tips.
I use a toysmith cube(not lubed yet) and my " own " Method. (it's just cross, keep swapping corners until solved)
My Ao5 is
3.89, 0.59(LOL qqtimer, i only had to do one turn),2.18,1.28and 4.39= 2.45

The reviews says it can't cut corners. Which means it has no springs. Which is what Eastsheen is known for.
Go for a LanLan or Ghosthand.

Stackmats are just giant mouse pads so you could try and sew a few of those together.

i usually make a 2x2 block then 2gen the rest
