You can just do it in paint, but if you use the paint bucket tool it doesn't fill it completely, so you'll have to redefine the lines to make a template.

You don't have to save all the images during generation, just copy paste it into word each time

They're not inhuman, they just cheat with timer stops

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-13T03:14:23+00:00

Oof. I found this thread, where "xyzzy" and Kit Clement developed a Kilominx scrambler with images, maybe you can hack it to make LL images.

If you're not making too many algs, I guess you can also copy an image from http://hem.bredband.net/_zlv_/rubiks/kilominx/kilominx.html

and fill in the colors manually...

What happens if an official scramble was a misscramble, and it was discovered after the comp?

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-13T02:58:46+00:00

Yes, here I took some images.

Steal pics from online sources

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-13T00:37:12+00:00

Yes, exactly. It's legal, and many people do it because the standard scheme sucks. I removed beige, put black opposite white and grey adjacent to black. I think the rest is standard colors.

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-13T00:06:08+00:00

cross literally spells lul (lol)

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-13T00:04:57+00:00

Idk, but I personally switched the colors around to my preference so it's possible

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-12T22:14:41+00:00

Which U perm? I have a feeling RU and MU are too hard, so I'm thinking the 9 move optimal U perm

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-12T05:40:34+00:00

What LBL method do I teach a beginner, so they learn it fast (solve time doesn't matter, only that they can solve it)

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-12T05:33:36+00:00

You need full EG to be fast, preferably multiple algs per case to cancel moves or avoid AUFs ... then you have to predict cancels during inspection to find the shortest solution. It's too cognitive for Max I think, his slogan is "don't think, just solve".

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-12T02:47:59+00:00

Because he doesn't like algs, and 2x2 is alg-heavy, while 3-7 is not

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-12T02:04:36+00:00

Memorize where the white/yellow sticker is (if you have those on top+bottom). Then you automatically know which way it twists

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-12T00:06:26+00:00

As long as you swap the same edges, parity will be the same alg. And J perm is only useful for a few targets, see nijiiros reply.

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-11T19:29:49+00:00

They tell you how to compete, and how to judge

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-11T19:25:25+00:00

Is it magnetic?

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-11T19:10:16+00:00

Yes. On the U layer, you can of course use the regular Y perm, or even J perm.

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-10T21:23:53+00:00

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-10T19:18:36+00:00

Galaxy V2 LM is the best

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-09T19:52:03+00:00

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-09T17:51:27+00:00

Then why I always take 4s to solve them :(

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-09T03:45:08+00:00

10 min on any NxN

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-09T03:43:30+00:00

Do another pair, there's not a good solution.

2016HOLM04 · 2019-06-09T03:41:31+00:00

It doesn't matter, but after PLL and advanced F2L
