What method is this?

[mkriegs]

I was watching this video on youtube and there was an article in the "about this video" section and I can't figure out what method this guy uses:

(ps. the article isn't about the guy in the video... I dont know why)

...Vomberg, describing in great detail his technique.
He observes the cube briefly before putting the blindfold on. Once he memorizes where at least two squares are, he can figure out where the rest are supposed to go with a series of mathematical equations. Once one side of the cube is complete, the trick is to finish the rest without undoing it.

is this just a blatantly ignorant misquotation or is there actually a memo method like this? Also, earlier in the article it kind of sounds like the guy made up a method on his own but I still don't see how memorizing 2 cubeis can give you enough information to solve the whole cube.




EDIT - I just realized, the reporter likely meant algorithm when he said "mathematical equation", but that doesn't explain the rest.

it kinda makes you wonder how much other stuff in the news is completely wrong just because the reporter decides to take the liberty of rephrasing something

I think... that they confused his regular method and blindfold. Drom definitely doesn't memorize like that, mainly because no one can. The description reminds me of an explanation of Fridrich.

totally irrelevant, but i solved that scramble in 1:49, my pb, haha.

Hello, i was interested in this method over here. What method is this, is it good for speedcubing, and is it a variant of another method? This is probably a stupid question, but pardon my idiocy.

lbl and no

It's the Layer by Layer method, and it's the simplified version of the Fridrich Method.

Ok, Thanks!

it is the beginner methord

I found this weird (and long, 102 moves and that is in HTM) solve for this algorithm: F R U B F D R' D2 R' B R U B2 L2 B' D' L2 D B U' B' D F L' R

b' B' F' U' F B2 D2 U F U' l U' R2 L U L' R F' U2 F f' B' U' L U' L' R B R' U' R' U' R U B L U2 L' l R' U R U R' U2 F' U F U2 R U R' U R U2 R' U R U' L' U R' U' L U R U' L' U R' U' L U r2 L2 R U R' U' R U R' U' D R U R' U' R U R' U' D R U R' U' R U R' U' D2

I noticed that he isn't using any cube rotations.
What method is that guy using, or is he using a freestyle method?

Petrus with a noob LL.

LL coulda been rUR'U'r'FRF'

 

[benskoning]

You're challenge is to figure out the method.

What Thom said.

Oh, and nice U perm

 

[AustinReed]

Eww. Roux and Fridrich mix. Makes me sad D:

 

[benskoning]

What Thom said.

Oh, and nice U perm

Thanks

 

[Ranzha]

Roux with CFOP blockbuilding (now there's an oxymoron) and nub L6E.

 

[AustinReed]

CFOP has blockbuilding in it. Just very basic blockbuilding.

What is the method am I using

Hello guys, I've just joined the forum. I've played Rubik 3x3x3 for 6 years but I'm still a noob. I didn't learn any method and I don't know these exist, unfortunately, until now. I mostly learnt some tips from my friends to complete what I call "my method". However, I know what is my method so I start this thread. I will describe here the way I solve my rubik:

1. Corners First Layer: I will form my first layer with an "X", the corners will stay at the correct places.
2. CLL: Which I will apply the method CLL 2x2x2, which I start learning from yesterday. After finishing this step, my rubik will have "X" each side. All corners are in the correct places.
3. Finishing First Layer and Last Layer. Now I will have 4 edges unsolved at M-slice.
4. Finishing the 4 remain edges.

plz help me know if which method am I using so that I can learn correctly, Cheers!

In this way, it costs me 2 min avg.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Called corners first lol.

 

[wdragon93]

Called corners first lol.

Thanks a lot TheNextFeliks
Can you show me where to learn CF plz?
