Hello FMCers, First I'll ask Dan (he's most likely to know, but of course others might remember too) if it ever occured that two identical solutions were...
Sebastian, as I know this coincidence never happened. First about 10 moves in two different solutions occurred, however. Even if two guys find the same good...
Hmm! Just looking at the moves for mine and Mirek's solution last week (FMC #72) don't look too similar. But there are similarities: - Same length in htm. -...
Hi everyone, I'm not very well at the moment, and I don't want to be staring at FMC solutions for hours on end, so I haven't been able to post the results ...
Interesting, Per and I ended up with exactly the same length in all metrics. The same idea at the start, and again 3-corner cycle finish with only 1 move...
Hehe Mirek! I haven't really been trying to adopt any particular style. Just exploring other idea than doing the edges first and finishing with lots of...
... no ... So it actually happenned. And the solution was not very short, only as compatible as possible with the Fridrich method, even the colours were the...
OK, Per, however it is, our methods are similar mostly because they are very effective and flexible. We use a collection of tools, insertion technique and...
Hey again! :-) Yes i agree that we both have a collection of tools that we can use. And that we can adopt to what the scramble requires of us. U mention 2...
Hi ! I'm new in the FMC community, I started to be interested in that more "cerebral" way of solving the cube about 2 months ago, perhaps because I will never...
Hi Cyril! Great that you like FMC, I think that it's a more elevated way to solve the cube than speedsolving. Probably because it takes more time so it has to...
Hey everyone !! Since there is no normal FMC challenge for u guys this week i have asked for Dan's permission to organise another super-FMC challenge. So u...
Hmm ... I keep forgetting that yahoo messes up email-addresses, here it is again : perfredlund(at)softhome(dot)net Cheers ;-) -Per ... too ;- ... in ... ...
Hmmm ... Once again u have secret tools in ur kit ;-) Applying the inverse scramble is original. Haven't thought of that one :D But really u were only 3 moves...
This is a nice mathematical explanation/proof, Per. In fact, I have used this tool once or twice here more than a year ago. It is more common that the inverse...
Hello everybody, Since I'm too tired (read: too lazy) to try to get a supersolution, I did something like the opposite: I found a solution where not only the...
Pretty good! I tried for a while but it is so hard to see the corners and edges without their erientation. Can we somehow replace or add stickers to reflect...
Hey guys! This is what ACube is for. Specify all cubies, but with unknown orientations. Im too tired to rey that right now however. Good night ;-) -Per PS! I...
Hey! The fmc-companion could be modified to verify ur "orientation-less" solution. That would be not be so hard. It could be modified to verify super-solution...
Hi everyone, Just to let you know, that the FMC is back after a 1 week break! The scramble has been posted on the FMC webpage, which can be accessed at ...
Hey!! Im ashamed to say that i didn't look for a super solution myself yet. Yes i know it's bad. But Mirek sent me a very nice solution : ======= As opposed...
Hey! Finally i remembered to run ACube to look for a short sequence for the "position-only-solve" for FMC #73. Here is what ACube came up with : L2 U R D L B'...
Hey there ! Just a comment about #75 FMC result. I have the (bad ?) habit to include all cube rotations in my posts, so the comparison with other solutions may...
Hi everyone, I would just like to apologise for the erratic nature of the FMC for these past couple of weeks. And I'm afraid it's going to be like that for the...
I'm really ignorant on the subject of flipping edges... What's the shortest way to flip 2 edges? I assume it's over 10 moves. Is there a useful way to flip 2...
Hey! Wow! U have that after 17 moves? Real impressive. U always seem to be good at gathering most of the pieces in very few moves. There is of course the well...
Well, Per already replied and posted the most useful and easy_to_remember_and_work_with moves. There is another shortest case that can be solved easily in 12...
Hello everybody! I have just learned about conjugates and commuters and took a good look at this weeks FMC. I have at the moment a 37 move solution (29 moves...
You need to understand the 3-cycle. This is how I think about it. 0. Have 2 of your corners (a and b) in the D layer and one in U (c). 1. Move a or b to U. 2....
Thank you very much!! Your explanation was clear enough, now I understand how to insert algs. The thing I still canīt figure out any other way than by trying ...
