<p>Cmhardw: /* Specific description of the lettering */</p> <hr /> <div>'''Speffz''' is a standardized lettering scheme proposed by [[Ville Seppänen]] and [[Rob Holt]] in 2010. The purpose of the standardized scheme is to simplify communication between [[blindfolded]] solvers when referring to piece locations and cycles. The method is intended as an optional naming that can be used to replace the canonical notation for piece locations.<br /> <br /> ==Image of a 7x7x7 cube lettered in Speffz==<br /> [[Image:Speffz.png|Image of a 7x7x7 cube lettered in Speffz]]<br /> <br /> ==Specific description of the lettering==<br /> <br /> 1) [[Piece]]s on a [[face]] are lettered by starting as close to the upper left [[corner]] as possible, as seen from looking at the face directly. For piece types that have two pieces close to the corner by symmetry ([[edge|wing edges]], [[centre|t-centers]]), the first piece labelled is the one clockwise to the corner. Starting corners are U face - UBL; L face - LBU; F face - FLU; R face - RFU; B face - BRU; D face - DLF<br /> <br /> 2) Pieces letter around the face clockwise, when looking at the face directly, starting at the piece as stated in #1 above. The letter A starts on the U face with UBL, and the letters continue around the face in order.<br /> <br /> 3) The face order to move around the cube is ULFRBD. This proceeds in a spiral around the cube in a clockwise fashion as seen from below the cube. The first letter on the L face is E, the first letter on the F face is I, etc.<br /> <br /> 4) When lettering the D face, first perform an x2 rotation from the initial cube state, then start at what is now the UBL corner (the DLF corner as stated in #1)<br /> <br /> 5) [[centre|Oblique centers]] on a [[6x6x6]] or [[7x7x7]] will be lettered as follows: Starting at the upper left corner of the face, the piece counter-clockwise to the corner is lettered with the appropriate uppercase letter. The piece clockwise to the corner is lettered with the appropriate lowercase letter. For the x-center [[orbit]]s, and t-center orbits on a 7x7x7, you must specify whether you are talking about the inner or outer orbits.<br /> <br /> ==Easy Rules to remember the lettering==<br /> <br /> 1) Move around the cube in the face order: ULFRBD<br /> <br /> 2) Letter pieces always clockwise around the face<br /> <br /> 3) When lettering the obliques on a 6x6x6 or 7x7x7 letter them such as to visually appear like the following: Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd. The uppercase letters are counter-clockwise to the corner, and the lowercase letters are clockwise to the corner.<br /> <br /> 4) When labeling the D face, first perform an x2 rotation to establish the orientation of the face.<br /> <br /> ===See also:===<br /> * [[Notation]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Cubing Resources]]<br /> [[Category:Puzzle Notation]]</div>

<p>Cmhardw: </p> <hr /> <div>Speffz is a standardized lettering scheme proposed by Ville Seppänen and Rob Holt. The purpose of the standardized scheme is to simply communication between blindfolded solvers when referring to piece locations and cycles. The method is intended as an optional naming that can be used to replace the canonical notation for piece locations.<br /> <br /> ==Image of a 7x7x7 cube lettered in Speffz==<br /> [[Image:Speffz.png|Image of a 7x7x7 cube lettered in Speffz]]<br /> <br /> ==Specific description of the lettering==<br /> <br /> 1) Pieces on a face are lettered by starting as close to the upper left corner as possible, as seen from looking at the face directly.

<p>Cmhardw: /* Letter Pairs */</p> <hr /> <div>== Direct Visualisation ==<br /> Visual memory is the most direct form of memorizing the data needed to do a blindfold solve. It entails merely memorizing in order the locations of stickers that must be &quot;shot&quot; to (for Pochmann-derived methods), or the location of where various commutators must be performed (for freestyle methods), without the use of any sort of systematized association method. It is quite difficult for some to memorize in this manner, while others are able to perform sub-1:30 solves after practice. Former world record holder Ville Seppänen uses a combination of visual memory and lettering of edges to perform sub-minute solves on average, and he and many others are also capable of memorizing larger cubes with visual memory alone.<br /> <br /> One of the most basic methods used to aid visual memory is &quot;tapping.&quot; This involves simply touching out the stickers in order (usually in groups of between 2 and 4 stickers, depending on how the sticker sequence progresses) until the tap sequence is memorized, then returning to this &quot;tap&quot; memory when solving. After practice, physical taps are often dispensed with altogether, and everything can be performed mentally.<br /> <br /> Other methods of visual memory are more individual and can involve the visualization of shapes, lines, noticing of patterns, or such tricks as visualizing a roller coaster or airplane moving from point to point.<br /> <br /> == Letter Pairs ==<br /> One method of memorizing a cube is to label pieces on the cube using letters. An imaginary lettering scheme is placed on the cube in such a way as to represent the solved stated, and when memorizing the cube you may memorize the letters as they describe the current state, or you may memorize the cycles that would be necessary to restore the letters on the cube to the original solved state. A standardized lettering scheme exists for the purposes of communicating piece cycles called [[Speffz]].<br /> <br /> When used with [[Old Pochmann]], the entire cube state is memorised as a sequence of letter pairs. Each letter pair represents a cube position. Positions can either be memorised using face names, for example UF (Up Front), or face colours, for example YB (Yellow Blue). Memorisation starts from the buffer piece. The colours of the cubie occupying be buffer position are read in a specific order, usually starting with the U-face. Next the cubie occupying the position of the one currently in the buffer position is read.. TODO...<br /> <br /> == Colour Pairs ==<br /> The memorisation method described by Stefan on the original [[Old Pochmann]] webpage involves remembering a sequence of memorable objects each representing a pair of colours for each edge: for example, Red-Blue might be represented by Spiderman (red costume with blue), Yellow-Green is a slightly under-ripe banana, etc. It is necessary however to differentiate between the orientations so for example Blue-White is a Smurf whereas White-Blue is Donald Duck! A story is memorised from this sequence of objects and characters that can be recalled during the solve. For corner memorisation only two colours need to be remembered if the stickers are always &quot;read&quot; in a consistent unambiguous way, e.g always clockwise (this is detailed badmephisto's blindfold cubing video).<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> ! Colour Pair<br /> ! Image<br /> !

<p>Cmhardw: </p> <hr /> <div>Parity is a misnomer cubing term that is used colloquially to describe an odd permutation of pieces within a certain defined orbital. It is most commonly used to refer to certain situations that can arise on the 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 cubes when solving with the reduction method. The most commonly known example is referred to as OLL Parity, and comes about on cubes of size 4x4x4 and larger. OLL Parity on a 4x4x4 cube happens when two adjacent wing edges are interchanged with each other. When solving with the reduction method these two interchanged wing edges give the two piece edge group the appearance of being a flipped 3x3x3 edge. This leads to a case that is impossible to solve using outer layer turns only, and most be solved by performing an odd number of inner slice quarter turns to return the wing edge orbital back to an even permutation.<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> Speedsolving.com: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19800 Understanding Parity]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Puzzle Theory]]<br /> {{Stub}}</div>

He became well-known as the world's fastest [[OH]] cuber in 2003-4, and is now primarily well known for his long-held [[world record]]s and continuing world-class times in [[blindsolving]] the [[4x4]] and [[5x5]]. He is also adept at many other speedcubing events. Chris is also known as the first person in the world to complete a blindfold solve on the [[6x6]].<br /> <br /> == Media Appearances ==<br /> <br /> Hardwick has made a number of television appearances demonstrating the Rubik's Cube, including MTV in 2002, Canada AM and Much Music in the fall of 2003, discussing the [[World Rubik's Games Championship 2003]], his first competition. His home videos have also appeared on numerous online video sites including CollegeHumor and Digg, and a video of Hardwick doing a one-handed solve appeared on VH1 in 2006 for Web Junk 20. Axe deodorant parodied another one of Hardwick's home videos in their 2006 South African &quot;Get a Girlfriend&quot; commercial campaign.<br /> <br /> == Official Results ==<br /> <br /> Chris's personal best official times for the 3x3 are 12.19 seconds for the single solve and 14.35 seconds for an average of 5. In the past, Chris has set North American records in [[2x2]], [[3x3]], [[4x4]], and [[5x5]] speedsolve. He has also set the WR for 4x4 three times, twice for single and once for average. In fact, Chris was the first person to ever achieve a 4x4 single solve of under one minute in competition! Chris also set some of the first few world records for one-handed solving.<br /> <br /> As for blindfolded events, Chris has broken the world record for 4x4 BLD three times, and the world record for 5x5 BLD six times. He still holds the WR for 4x4 BLD and 5x5 BLD.<br /> <br /> By winning national and world championships, Chris has held the following titles: World Champion for OH (2003-05), 4x4 BLD (2007-2009) and National Champion for 4x4 (2004-2006), 5x5 (2004-2006), 4x4 BLD (2006-2009), 5x5 BLD (2006-2008), Fewest Moves (2008-2009).<br /> <br /> == See also: ==<br /> * [http://speedcubing.com/chris/ Chris Hardwick's Rubik's Cube Page]<br /> <br /> [[Category:People]]</div>

The fundamental idea behind the BH method is to use pre-memorized, move optimal, commutator 3-cycles for all possible 3-cycles starting from a fixed buffer location. For pieces where orientation is defined, the position and orientation of pieces are solved simultaneously.

He became well-known as the world's fastest [[OH]] cuber in 2003-4, and is now primarily well known for his long-held [[world record]]s and continuing world-class times in [[blindsolving]] the [[4x4]] and [[5x5]]. He is also adept at many other speedcubing events. Chris is also known as the first person in the world to complete a blindfold solve on the [[6x6]].<br /> <br /> == Media Appearances ==<br /> <br /> Hardwick has made a number of television appearances demonstrating the Rubik's Cube, including MTV in 2002, Canada AM and Much Music in the fall of 2003, discussing the [[World Rubik's Games Championship 2003]], his first competition. His home videos have also appeared on numerous online video sites including CollegeHumor and Digg, and a video of Hardwick doing a one-handed solve appeared on VH1 in 2006 for Web Junk 20. Axe deodorant parodied another one of Hardwick's home videos in their 2006 South African &quot;Get a Girlfriend&quot; commercial campaign.<br /> <br /> == Official Results ==<br /> <br /> Chris's personal best official times for the 3x3 are 12.59 seconds for the single solve and 14.35 seconds for an average of 5. In the past, Chris has set North American records in [[2x2]], [[3x3]], [[4x4]], and [[5x5]] speedsolve. He has also set the WR for 4x4 three times, twice for single and once for average. In fact, Chris was the first person to ever achieve a 4x4 single solve of under one minute in competition! Chris also set some of the first few world records for one-handed solving.<br /> <br /> As for blindfolded events, Chris has broken the world record for 4x4 BLD three times, and the world record for 5x5 BLD six times. He still holds both of these records, and in fact has come in first place in these events in every competition where he achieved a successful solve.<br /> <br /> By winning national and world championships, Chris has held the following titles: World Champion for OH (2003-05) and National Champion for 4x4 (2004-2006), 5x5 (2004-2006), 4x4 BLD (2006-present), 5x5 BLD (2006-2008), Fewest Moves (2008-present).
