Hi everybody! FIrst of all thanks for your helpful comments and tips and examples of commutators in FMC solves. I have said it before to people I know, but I...
Hello Dan! When I have found something with a corner 3-cycle I put my numbered stickers on the faces and start backtracking. I use Cube Companion to keep track...
... Hmmph... I didn't know that was allowed. Maybe "no computers" means "no Cube Explorer" :S Though I guess if you can use "Companion" to check the solution...
Hey! _No computers_ basically means no computer software that helps u in any way to search for moves/sequences. So yes, taking it literally, the companion is...
Hello Name is Jason Kovacic So IF you cannot use computers to help you find moves, then are you allowed to use OLL Algs? Or what about PLL Algs? I thought...

... Sounds fine. It was the "keeping track of where I am and doublecheck the commutator" that I felt might be problematic, but let's not start an FMC...
... You know, instead of adding your marker stickers on top of the cube stickers, you could always peel off the cube stickers. Cheers! Stefan P.S. Actually, I...
Hello Jason! ... You are allowed to use OLL and PLL algs you know, but you are not allowed to search for a specific one on the internet. I'm quite new to FMC...
Hello :-) They can't say it's not allowed to use any OLL or PLL alg just because a computer got it first. And who knows if a computer found it or another human...
... That's a reason for starting a 5x5x5 dissasembling-and-putting-back- solved FMC. If we get trained enough we might even see a short solution in a...
It seems like an idea for Chrismass FMC to do dissasembling-and- putting-back-solved. What is good in this is that we may easier agree upon what is one move...
Hey! I guess u guys are joking. No way i gonna let my cubes go through that kind of torture. And im also a bit confused. You guys mention speed while doing...
Hi everyone! The FMC has a new, fresh look, and registration has opened for the special Team Fewest Moves Event which will be held to celebrate FMC #100! ...
Hi everyone, After a brief period of downtime, the FMC submission form is now back up and running. So you can now submit your solutions in the normal way :) ...
Sorry for the other post, of course a blank post was not exactly what I meant ;-) Dan, could you remove it from the forum ? I just wanted to make a suggestion...
I suggest an unlimited number of solutions. The shortest will win, but let's make this FMC special and try to submit other artistic or fun solutions, be...
Yes, I wouldn't mind posting all the solutions which were sent in, if they came with explanations, and we can make it a showcase of how to solve in FMC. I am...
I intend to participate, too. I'm a complete beginner, though. I just started FMC a couple of weeks ago and my method needs some definite improvement. I've...
... Hello Everyone, I am interested in being in FMC 100. However, I have only been in one FMC, so I dont really understand the method. Also, Im not really...

Hi all, I'm in a real rush, I won't be able to put the results of FMC #87 up today, but I will post them very soon. Meanwhile I have already launched FMC #88...
Hi :-) Yes, both FR'F'R and RUR'U' are commutators :-) A commutator is like this : P Q P' Q' where P is any sequence of moves and so is Q. P' and Q' are the...
Hi! Mirek, after ur marvellous 12 move start U2 F R' B R' F' L2 D' F2 D' F L there is a rather short finish like this: L' D' L F' L' D L2 F' D' F2 L'. This...
Hi Per, I was almost sure that I could do better after my first 11 moves (those are pretty easy to find). The rest can be solved as D' L F' L' D L2 F' D' F2...
Hehe ... Yes i must admit i didn't find those nice moves myself. I was in a rush. I tried to find something short myself but only found 26/27 and i found also...
Ya, I found it, at least two of my solutions go through this odd permutation called "J" in Fridrich system. Both solutions are 26 moves long (too much). Mirek ...
(see below :-D ) ... moves ... Umm ... but that does require that the whole cube is setup (from solved) according to the moves in the file i guess. I never...
Hi everyone! In association with www.cubesmith.com, www.cubestation.co.uk is proud to annouce that from next week we will be offering small prizes to the...
Hi Dan ! you made a little typo in my solution move count : STM result is 28 instead of 38 ... Btw, did anyone had a look at my edge 3-cycle insertion after...
Hi you! I looked at the edges. I can't tell you what to do after those 22 moves. But I suggest to do L'FLFB'U'F'UF'B before them. You gain in QTM which will...
