Now that FMC#140 has posted the results, I was wondering how many people submitted vs. number of people posted. I know Dan is away, but I submitted a solution...
OK, I am not alone. I submitted my solution last Saturday. It does not show up. Anybody found better than 26-move? This is probably more then Per's average. ...
Hi everybody, Firstly, apologies to the speedcubing group, if you are uninterested in FMC then please do not bother with this post, I only posted in here to...
First of all, let me just say that I love the FMC companion - it's quite helpful for me. One thing I did find somewhat annoying is having to keep changing the...
Hi :-) I have already done this for my comnpanion. Plus i added one more cube to play with, and other small fixes that work nicely in Internet Explorer. More...
Hi guys :-) I wanted to submit my solution to fmc #142 yesterday, but dans site was already mistakenly showing #143 already. So, because of that i had to email...
I also posted a solution that did not show up in the results for this week. My voes was: M2 U2 M2 F B L' F2 U' B2 U2 B2 U B' U2 B2 L F l' U L' B' l M U M' U2 M...
Hi Gilles =) Here is my solution: QR' - R' F' L F2 U2 L2 F - U' B2 U2 R2 - U R' U F' U2 F R - L U2 L' U' L U2 L' - U' F' U' F U R' F R F' - R U R' U L' U R U'...
Hi :-) My solution: L' R U' D L F R' U' R2 F' U' B2 U'.F2 for a rather lucky f2l. Then D2 leaves 2 3-cycles. Finish off the corners by inserting R2 D L D' R2...
Over an hour? Great, I keep my golden cube. :-) My solution: http://grrroux.free.fr/belgique2007/my_fmc.JPG 32 HTM, 27 STM In the last 6 months, I think I did...
Hi :-) My 5-minute solution was 42 turns but that solution has no interest. After an ok 11-turn pseudo 2x2x3 the continuation wass not good.Pseudo-block: R' D...
The scramble for FMC 146 looked easy. 31 moves in one hour (actually 35 minutes) and 25 moves within 2 hours. I still see a lot of other nice starters so my...
Hi Guus :-) I briefly looked at th scramble on Dans site. Playing with the apple for 5 mins i had f2l minus 3 cubies in 9 or 10 turns. But i haven't seriously...
Hi, I'm sure the others would love to know much more detail about how you found your solution. If you could point out the steps you used, that would be great....
My problem is with insertions. I go from step a to b to c. I have a good f2l going for fmc 148. But I'm gonna finish that with zbf2l and coll. I can't wrap my...
OK, here is what I do. Imagine I have found a skeleton solution with 3 corners left to solve. These could be any 3 corners, and twisted in any direction. So I...
Hi :-) 2 tips for now: When u end up with edge or corner 3-cycle put numbered stickers on them so that cycling them in order of the stickers will solve them. ...
... No mention of Mirek Goljan? It was "all" made possible by Per? (Actually, Mirek was the first person of the two to discover (1981) *and* teach us (2003)...
Well, Per was the one who took the time to sit down and explain it to me several times through what was a pretty excruciating process. So everything I...
... Ok, although I think you might have worded it more clearly, to sound less like "We have Per to thank for insertions", and more like "*I* have Per to thank...
Hi :-) it could be that Mirek did insertions before me, but i thought that up the same on my own also early-mid 80s and i had never heard of anyone doing that...
... I'm not disputing this, so rest easy :-) My purpose is just to let people know (who didn't already know) that this technique was first introduced to the...
... I should add to this that after Reid developed his famous "optimal" solver, based on Kociemba's work, the Kociemba used Reid's ideas to add an "optimal"...
Hi :-) Yes i got my facts slightly wrong. Mike Reid's solver that predates Kociemba's was optimal but was based on a single phase algorithm. Kociemba does give...
... they ... all ... let ... first ... software ... Fucking Christ! I didn't want an argument to ensue about who did what and when. I just wanted advice. And...
... Did you know you are the first person to use this offensive word here in all the years since the group was created? Anyway, you received several answers to...
