Who can do (R U' R' U)x24 the quickest?

[dbeyer]

Let x be the cuberotation in the R direction, I did

x24' after the RURU move

 

[doubleyou]

hehe that was funny dbeyer! nice glitch! I bet you can go sub 5 tho

-obviously mps goes down when time goes up, unless you're a robot.
-You think your mps will be less in 20 seconds than in 10 seconds? If so, why?
-Let's assume that for every turn, there's a 1/50 chance to get a lockup. Thus, there's a 14.4% chance to get 96 turns without lockups, but for 192 turns it's only 2.1%. It's of course not that simple, there are many factors. Concentrating for a longer time is harder and fingers get tired, but I hope you get the idea.

I understand what you are trying to say. However, I disagree with this statement: "obviously mps goes down when time goes up, unless you're a robot.". What if you get lockups on avg 1/600 moves? And you don't get tired until 1000 moves since you practice doing 2000 moves every couple hours? You could keep very consistent mps throughout 60 seconds. Therefore, it voids the statement you made.

I just wanted to point that out, since you called Arnaud's logic stupid/naive. His logic was perfectly fine, you just read his post one way when it was obvious that he meant another way.

anyway, good work on the 7.33 second time. It seems you and I get these friendly debates going more often these days.

15.23 with R U' R' U
I lubed my cube with silicone spray, it worked for about 3 days and now it's slow again. I took apart the cube and sprayed each piece on every side, I don't know why my cube is so slow.

13.90 though with R U R' U'

Still very slow! Wtf is wrong with my cube GRRRRRRRRRR

I did x24' after the RURU move

very smart, but that doesn't amount to the 96 moves PJK mentions in his post. Maybe you can do the R U' R' U move and then throw it in the air so it will turn around de x-axis 92 times (23 circles). I think that would be possible in 5 seconds.

Good luck getting the cube to
1) Turn only around de x-axis
2) Make it turn exactly 23 circles.

You cannot solve a cube blindfolded untill you have perfected this skill

It is very difficult for me to keep track of how many times I have done this; I count in a pattern like "1 2" and it's altogether difficult to count 12 of those. :lol:

I'll try it tomorrow, I'll just look for when I solve the cube three times.

 

[AvGalen]

I'll just look for when I solve the cube three times

I think you mean four times

 

[ExoCorsair]

4 times, yes, I tried.

I, um, have had faster cube solves...

 

[genwin]

i didn't get what mr. dbeyer pointed out( and mr. avgalen too).. maybe a brief description for a beginner??

 

[SkateTracker]

8.19 was my best. Not bad for a 28-29 sec average cuber.

 

[MiloD]

this thread is like a zombie.

 

[alexc]

11.94 on first try. I think I could go sub 10 with some practice.

 

[Pedro]

9.17 on first try

EDIT: 8.85 with R U R' U'

 

[pete]

I still can't get my head around this, can someone please post a video ?
(also for the R U R' U' x24)

 

[martijn_cube]

at first i had to find a good cube to do this. first i got a 13.xx then after a couple cubes i got to my type 2 white DIY, i got a couple sub11. and my fastest time(finally almost without lockups) 9.72.
didn't know i could do it this fast.

 

[Sin-H]

6.66 after about 5 tries. I even got it on video:

[martijn_cube]

i did my time with picking up the cube. this would save some time. but still very vast. what kind of cube do you use?

man, that's insane.
i think even the slow motion part of that video is quicker than my execution

This is an Asian DIY type d. It goes like lightning and hardly pops.
Still, for my speedsolves, I prefer the a-types because they're smoother.

 

[martijn_cube]

i also have a couple D types now. don't know if there asian though. have them from cube4you. but there indeed very fast. but i have to get used to them, get to much lockups to do RU'R'U very fast with it.

edit: with my new type D cube: 8.69
