Hi Eric :-) I read ur comment to last weeks fewest moves challenge. Ur start is actually very good :-) After 12 turns u have solved first 2 layers minus one...
Hello, thank you for your advice, I normally do Petrus F2L/OC/PLL for speed, but have recently been in the process of learning COLL. I have recently started...
Last week's FMC was the scramble from the FMC event at the Polish Open. Zbigniew Zborowski won the event with a World Record equalling 28 moves. Here is his...
Yay !! I beat the OWR on the same scramble ;-) Sadly though my solution took much longer than 1 hr, somewhere between 3 and 4 in total. Definitely orienting...
Dan :-) I don't think it's fair (for him) to add his solution to the results, considering most of us spent much more than 1 hr on the solution. Then again, i...
I think zz always spends only 1 hour on his solutions anyway. :) I don't see why Dan shouldn't add this solution to the archive, because I don't think it was...
Hi :-) I was saying it was easier for US with "unlimited" time at our disposal. Of course in competition it's harder :-o -PK ... because ... except ... Polish ...
Hi :) I was just wondering why Dan doesn't want this solution to count in rankings. And even though zz only spent one hour and other people usually use more...
Hi Johannes, I don't want it to "count" for the pruposes of my online FMC since ZZ made the solution in a competition outside the time frame. The idea of this...
Hello, I just posted my solution for this week's FMC, ended up with a 29move solve. Generally I am satisfied with anything under 40 (F2L, COLL, PE) I do pseudo...
Hi :-) I also submitted already and the scramble was very friendly. My first solution was xx with a corner insertion. Then i found 14 moves with 5 unsolved...
what do the numbers mean? I assume a ranking, but how you do get the numbers? then what about "provisional" that is written just below my numbers, and otheres...
Hi Eric, The "numbers" are a rating calculated from your previous 6 performances. Those 6 performances can be seen underneath your solution, and the current...
Per, you mastered edges+at_least_2corners approach. This time you even don't need insertions, you just continue with solving corners. The last 10-move F' D F...
Hey! I finally took some time to look at it again. I gain a slice turn whichever way actually ... 1) L' R' B' R U L U F' D' F2 D' B U' D2 [F2 U U' F'>]F D F U...
Are there any sites with information on edges first solving? I couldn't seem to find any. I am interested, other seeing how some have approached this. I can...
Hi :-) There are no sites about edges-first solving that im aware of, and if there are they are most likely for speedsolving anyway. The basic approach to...
I am interested in getting a list of corner commutators/algs. I think I can get the edges realtively well, the corners really have me stumped (for move count)...
Hi Eric, To solve the corners, you don't really need a list as such, you can make up commutators "on the fly" (as Per calls it) One form is the PQP'Q'...
Doing the corners is a problem for me too. I can only do the last 5 (easily) by messing up the edges. When trying to go fast I can do the edges in 16 moves...
It is interesting that several best solvers started with B L' even without realizing the pre-moves F' R'. Actually, I was very close to the likely best...
Just looked at the FMC #133 our first 11 moves are the same. i even think that i had the same after that but on that place it looks like it did a OLL T to get...
Wooow ... That's a very nice solution! Incredible qtm, and i believe also only a few moves from htm optimum. Im glad u didn't find this solution before :-P ......
Ok Last week for the FMC I had a 23move solve, but had 2 corners twisted wrong, they were in the right spot. This week I had another solve at 24moves, but had...
Hey Eric! yoiu can try sort out the duo-twist by using 2 inserted corner 3- cycles. The first cycle must use the 2 corners that should be twisted and ANY other...
