Despite all the excelent battle, we didn't see any expert solution. According to the legend on the FMC web page, an expert solves the cube between 0-27 moves. ...
... I just posted my solution. Of course, not expert (31 moves), but I'm glad with it. Two weeks from now I'll be able two spend more time on FMC (and I hope...

Hi Charles!! Just a few suggestions for the FMC companion: 1) Add an option to test ur solution. Simply append the solution to the scramble and generate the...
Hi all addicted FMC people... I am just letting you know that I am hoping to find an expert solution this week. I am not very far from it at the moment. Who's...
Hi everyone, Just to let you know, the updated results of the FMC are now available from my website. A really great week last week; we had 12 competitors,...
Hi everyone... Mirek in particular... If i have three corners to twist at the end of my solution, and I know the necessary algorithm... I look through my...
You can apply any algorithm that moves the three corners at any time during the solution. They don't need to be in the same layer, most often they are not. To...
Hi! I thought Dan said TWIST 3 corners ?? To CYCLE 3 corners is different. Some corners 3-cycles are not the basic 8 move variation, but need a conjugate (with...
Wow Charles, That's really cool... just how adaptable is the code? It wasn't exactly what I had in my minds eye, but it still looks very good. How easy is it...
I heard that somebody rewrote Werner's applet to make it work like a big cube. Why not try a 4^3 FMC? It could be useful, I think people should look for more...
Hi everyone, The results to last weeks challenge are now on the FMC page, can somebody email me the scramble we used please? I have lost it :( Also, if some of...
Hi everybody... I have been thinking about the problem of competitors only posting when they have a better than average solution, so they can make their rating...

Hi Dan! Sorry for not contributing last week. I also had the same 8 first moves as u did to make the 2x2x3 block. Then i didn't immediately find a nice finish...
Hey Per, Bit topical isn't it! Seeing as there has been a lot of posts about notation in the speedsolving group just recently. Well noticed, I wondered if...
Hi Charles At first glance, this looks so cool! I haven't got time to test it fully right now, I am now going to bed, but I shall review it properly in the ...
Hey Lars! After the first 15 : RL'F'L'F2L'F'DBR2BR2BRD' u can apply : D'F2LFL'FU2B'RBDU2. This gives 26 move solution :-) (30 - QTM) (I think possibly there is...

Hi, DH, ZZ, CT, LP, SD, and others! I oppose Dans idea. Dan, why don't you like the simple square root? If we try mr = r * sqrt(6/n) then for example David...
Hi! I just wonder if any of u have any hints on how to efficiently fix a corner 5-cycle. The way i do fewest moves i usually end up with having to cycle a...
