Are Siamese and Triamese cubes mass produced and sold somewhere? I really want one of both.

Lightake has some. Here is a Siamese 6

How do you read this type of clock notation?

(3, 2) / (0, 6) / (-2, 6) / (-1, 3) / (0) / (-2) / (5) / (6) / (-3) / (-5) / dUdd

I can read this kind:

Spoiler

UUdd u = -5; d = -3 / dUdU u = -3; d = -4 / ddUU u = 0; d = -6 / UdUd u = -4; d = 6 / dUUU u = 5 / UdUU u = 1 / UUUd u = 3 / UUdU u = 0 / UUUU u = 3 / dddd d = -1 / Uddd

It's pretty clear this is just a shortcut of the kind you know how to read. So the example you gave actually equals:
UUdd u = 3; d = 2 / dUdU u = 0; d = 6 / ddUU u = -2; d = 6 / UdUd u = -1; d = 3 / dUUU u = 0 / UdUU u = -2 / UUUD u = 5 / UUdU u = 6 / UUUU u = -3 / dddd d = -5 / dUdd

i was wondering how people that are good at every event manage their time. I certainly dont have the time to do alot of each event im interested in (2x2-4x4, bld and oh). So do you guys just practice one event mainly or do you balance them out, if you solve mainly one how do u maintain or improve your speed at the others, and if you balance it out do you see major or just minor improvement.

I usually do an AO75 for every puzzle I compete with every day.

can you guys get to icubing.com? its not working for me. Has anyone ever bought anything from them? I am asking because i bought a 4x4 from them over a month ago and its not at my house yet.

anyone?

 

[uberCuber]

Indeed really helpful

Wat

 

[MrIndianTeen]

anyone?

I can't. I'm using IE9 cause that can make a difference.

 

[TMOY]

Quick question WHat method does Feliks Zemdegs use on the 4x4 because I used the same method

So you want us to tell you which method you were using in the past ? :confused:

How many events do you do?

What is the best way to count my turns for a solve?

[SpacePanda15]

While I'm solving, how do I count how many turns it take to complete the solve.

 

[StachuK1992]

Try being more clear. I gave you a list of metrics with which you can count. The WCA-official metric is FTM/HTM.

 

[SpacePanda15]

While Im'm solving full speed, I can't count the number of turns. Do I not go full speed and count in my head how many it takes, or is there another technique?

 

[StachuK1992]

Don't go full speed.

Or, go full speed, rescramble, then try to reconstruct what you did.

 

[SpacePanda15]

Ok, thanks!

 

[MrIndianTeen]

How many events do you do?

Just 3 for now. I do an AO20 on 4x4. However, I don't count that as one of my competing events because I haven't competed in it yet, and the fact that I'm a minute over most cutoff times.

EDIT: Those 3 events are 2x2, 3x3, and 3x3 OH.

One at a time, I guess!
Or you could get it on camera and count afterwards.
You solve Petrus, right?? Is there a move count "rule". In CFOP it would be Cross=7, F2L1=7, 2=7, 3=7, 4=7 =35 move count for first 2 layers.
