If you're having a huge issue, you must be cubing through some pain right now. Are all of your solves extremely painful and you're toughing through the pain?...
I've had this issue in my left hand for years, and it's getting worse. As for the wrists, it's mainly the right one (the left wrist has no pain, but I imagine...
Hey everyone. Somewhat of a newb here...been working seriously on BLD for about 2 weeks now. I learned the 4 big algs from Stefan's method, and can solve the...
Hello, You are now close to the end of your journey towards blindfolded solving. ... Unfortunately, if you use the pure Stefan BLD method, there is no way to ...
Hey everyone, I have been working on my 3x3x3 BLD a lot lately, and finally found a way to speed up my times slightly. Because I solve the bigger cubes BLD...
It just depends on comfort level. This is how I'd do those cases: UR->FR->BL: B2 S' R S R2 S' R S B2 UF->DF->DR: R E' F' E F2 E' F' E R' UR->FR->BR: S' R' S...
I am trying to find a mindless EP system as well. What I have come up with is a system that requires an EO step. I am very familiar with Pochmann's 2-cycle...
Hello everyone, I love commutators. I dislike setup moves. I figured out how to use commutators and very few setup moves rather than using more setup moves and...
I remember when I was a kid. I would look at rubiks cube in the bookstores and I would see that I could not understand any of it. Even the Simple Solution....
... "Algorithm" is probably a confusing word. It's really just a sequence of moves that you can learn, that has a particularly useful effect on the cube. ...
Hi, A normal solve with Pochmann's method usually takes me between 3:00 and 3:30. That is 1:30 - 1:45 for memorisation and the rest for solving. Can you...
thanks Joel In fact , when I begin to blindsolve a cube I search the path to solve , I start with edges so, first for example the white/red then yellow/blue...
I just saw Michael Rosenthal said he has photographic memory: http://www.speedcubing.com/records/recs_stats_short3bf.html I've sent him an email asking for...
Nope, no photographic memory. How can you claim a world record, simply because you picked up on a method quickly. Naturals learners spend months practicing...
I don't know this guy personally, but I must say in his defense, what he said wasn't 'wrong'. To disect his statement might be a waste of time, but I choose...
Don't you remember how irritating it was to hear someone say, "I'm going to learn all of Fridrich and get to sub-20 for the world championships"... when he...
I am going to go ahead and guarantee a sub 50 second BLD solve by the end of the night. I have the special ability to network my brain to the cube's emotions....
I never found those instances particularly irritating, though I have to admit it usually isn't very tasteful. It is better to let people realize these barriers...
There are plenty of corner o's that still give me problems when memorizing. Mostly the ones with 6 or more, but sometimes the ones with 5 too. Like this one,...
You could memorize the U layer CO case (ignoring the UFR), and memorize the D layer CO case (ignoring the DRF). If the CO cases are not balanced, you can then...
For that EO case, you could to U2 D2 (4-flip on R) D2 U2 and a 2 flip on B for the CO, 2 = needs to be turned cw or ccw? and who's Mr. Chen Pedro smoothcuber...
Ugh, I made another typo. I meant BL flipped instead of BR for the edge orientation, but no bother. I guess my point is just that there are various cases...
Oh, yeah, would be interesting to hear some from him... Pedro smoothcuber <no_reply@yahoogroups.com> escreveu: Ugh, I made another typo. I meant BL flipped...
Hey, Marcus Stuhr posted about his method a while back.. He doesn't only memorise 1/7 CO cases on U face and D face, he can also recognise them on the other 4...
Right, but after some practice you see cases much more quickly. I tend to look on U and D first to see if there are any of the 7 cases, then I check F and B,...
Marcus, I am thinking about switching to CO + CP for the corners.. I tried to do only CO today (memo + solve), and for cases that I recognise, I can get sub 20...
I am wondering, how do you propose recognizing cases on different faces? Yes I understand applying them on the L/R, or F/B faces if there is a nice case. But...
CO takes me just a few seconds to memorize and requires anywhere from 1-3 algorithms to execute. On a good case, memo+exec can take as little as 10 seconds...
