Hey everyone, I have a question for the big cube BLDers. I've been doing lots of practicing still for 4x4x4 BLD, and I've noticed that most often my mistakes...
Hi Chris, Congrats on your progress on the 4x4x4. I too have the most problems with the edges on the 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 but practice and experience does...
Wow, two posts in one day for me :) Yesterday I solved a regular 5x5x5 blindfolded. Yippie. What was really cool is that I actually made a mistake while...
... How about: y' (Rr) U R' U' r' U R U' R' y Or this one if setting up the pieces in the "wrong" order (i.e. switch left and right) is easier: y' R U R' U' r...
... Congrats! What time? Hey, I'm also missing your super 5x5 time at speedcubing.com, have you not submitted it? Let's motivate people by showing how easy it...
Hi Stefan, Thanks for the suggestions. I have used my 3-cycle hundreds of times and I am used to its rhythm and my hands are used to its feel so I think it...
WARNING: LONG post and potentially a SPOILER. Do not read if you want to figure out your own solution to parity on the 5x5x5 supercube! Hi again Stefan, Here...
Hi Stefan, I realized that I didn't answer these questions in my parity post. ... It took about thirty minutes to memorize and another half hour to solve. I...
I'll repeat Rob's warning: WARNING: LONG post and potentially a SPOILER. Do not read if you want to figure out your own solution to parity on the 5x5x5...
... both very nice - thanks Stefan! I especially like the first one more than the second one because F and F' don't get along with me very well ;P I will have...
Hey everyone, I got a 16 minute 4x4x4 BLD solve today and almost got the UWR too! The time was 16 minutes 39.61 seconds. I don't know how long memorization...
ohho thats great chris! I had gone home for a couple of days, but now i think i really have to start doing this 4x4 bld. After al if you can do it, anyone can...

Excellent Mr.Chris Hardwick. So near and yet so far ! ! Good luck for your sub-10 min. I may join you there sometime (some years) later , because I have yet to...

Hey Rob, Thanks for the reply, I have been trying to take some of these tips into account when I solve after having read through it. ... I like this type of...
... Hey Rob why don't you consider cycling as: d R' d' L d R d' L' and cycle ULf -> URf -> FRd That commutator is really efficient and also you would do...
Hey Rob, you just gave me an idea for how to make my solving much more consistent and make my biggest problem about undoing setup moves literally not a problem...
Hi Chris, As usual you have taken some simple ideas and really run a long way with them. Some awesome ideas! I’ll answer all three posts at once – how’s...
Hey everyone, I got this idea from Per Fredlund, and have recently been using it for BLD 4x4x4. One example from my solve today was the following center cycle,...
... Replacement suggestion again :-) [ R' F R , b' ] You gotta love this type of commutator! And yes, I fully agree with Rob: Chris, you should do a 5x5 *right...
... Hmm... how do you think about it as a cyclic shift? I think about this as an ordinary obvious commutator. First I see that Lfd and Frd are the the ones...
Hey Stefan, ... ha ha well I guess it is not possible ;-) I guess I would just try to minimize using setup turns as much as I can. To do URf->RFu->FUr->URf I...
Hey again Stefan ;-) ... It took me a minute to realize how this one worked, but wow that is cool! I definitely like the idea, particularly since most of the ...
... doesn't ... Gotta ... Hey Dror, can you please post an incredible time now so that Chris can give up 4x4 and start 5x5 instead? ;-) Cheers! Stefan...
... Hi Chris, yeah, I can't do better than that, either. At least not in STM. Try this one for better non-STM: { R : F' u2 F , U }. Oh, and if someone has...
Ok, so I've been thinking about this a lot and wanted to ask what people thought. I'm trying to think of ways to finish off an odd edge cycle for 4x4x4. What...
... Without inventing a commutator on the fly I would just use a set up move and the UFr mirror of my regular 3-cycle: u2 L F d'LdR' d'L'dR F' L' u2 ...
