... I spent 2 hours on this week's challenge, but can't find a shorter solution. It's incredible, I found 10+ solutions in 30 moves (STM) exactly, starting...
Hi all, I never created an applet, but I used Josef Jelineks applet to create a page where you can easily enter and test your solutions. Simply paste the...
Charles, will Bizarro come up with a better solution than you, too? It seems that he would immediatelly earn higher rating (although provisional) than you in...
It's a good joke and a good solution, too. I think it might be fun to do such a FMoC :-). Say, you have an hour to find a short solution and to practise it for...
By the way, did you see I finally fixed the link at the top Mirek? and others? Hope it makes things clearer! Although probably just makes things more confused...
Sorry guys, I am stuck at home and I can't access any of my web files to modify them, so as a result I haven't been able to add the scramble for this week yet....
Can't find a french expression corresponding to FMC :-) Anyway, I just wanted to say that there will be a FMC in the upcoming french championships. After all,...
Hi everyone, Just to let you know that the results of the 05/03/04 FMC have been posted, along with ratings changes, and a new scramble has been launched! All...
I noticed that when you do this weeks mix, you can safely skip this part: (U2 D2 F' B')*4 It's still a 25 move mix, so it's not really a problem. -- "They say...
Good point, Lars, it's good to have a shorter mix once in a while. :-) I hope Zbigniew reads this, otherwise I am going to e-mail him. I tried couple of times...
Ok thanks for letting me know Charles, I'll update it immediately. If you mark the slice moves it would be a great help, I tried to make the boxes for the move...
Sheesh, sorry guys, that's a pretty major "faux pas" on my account, I hope that you find the scramble is still ok, like Lars says it is still a 25 move mix. As...
I wouldn't worry about it. It will almost never happen, and it's hard to spot. It took me 10 mixes to realize what was going on. And if a less than perfectly...
Interesting - comparing my first find I see it is the same up to 9- th move (and 2 moves at the end, too!) with what Charles posted. This is what I got: R2 L'...
Hi Mirek Maybe I should use your terminology in which my solution would be described as follows: First I've found solution for the whole cube but 4 corners...
Thank you, Zbigniew, now it's clear to me. Although I came up with an extensive table for 4 corners in LL two decades ago I don't remember it since I switched...
Hi everyone! I will be holding a chat about the FMC and upcoming events and additions to the rules. This is what I would especially like to discuss with you. ...
I spent a good time with looking for a solution in the form D2 F' R U2 D' R' xxx U which is exactly where Lars succeded (week 12.3.04). Great first 6+1 moves...
... I spent a lot of time on the 6+1 approach too, with even less success. And I don't have any of your two continuations in my notes. My breakthrough was when...
25 in slice turn metrics! You are right of course. There seems to be a pattern occurring here, I am probably getting lazy or less careful, but I seem to make a...
I think the best way to know how Paul Searcy finds his solutions, we should ask him. Paul, can you answer? (If your name is not computer generated like the...
Paul Searcy, this contest is about something else than using a computer program like Cube Explorer to let it find an optimal solution and post it. There are...
First optimal solution that Cube Explorer finds for B' L2 R' (U2 D2 F' B')*4 D F2 R (U L2 D' B2)*4 R2 D F is U2 L F D L2 U' F' R' U' F' D2 R L' B2 D2 R2 L B...
Haha, that is funny, of course his solution is computer generated, and now, thanks to Mirek, we have proof :) What's even better, is I have already received a...
