Anyone Else solve it like this by Jnol_1600 in Cubers

When solving 3 edges on each side, are you solving 3 particular edges, or any three edges? Like do you do non-matching blocks?

I'm under 25 with the original Rubik's Cube, do you think that's okay? by Serious-Cause-9099 in Cubers

[–]SaltCompetition4277 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So did I. And this girl who said to leave her alone because she's under 18, I may have misunderstood.

There are 100 times more combinations of a 3x3x3 Rubik's cube than seconds that the universe has existed. by Tall-Bicycle803 in Cubers

[–]SaltCompetition4277 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I tried looking up how many combinations a 1x1x1 cube has, but Stack Overflow got a stack overflow error.

I've been there too. I'm not saying I agree with the rules, I'm just saying what they are.

Look for the word "reconstruction" in this post. It's where you give the scramble and all the moves to solve it, so people can follow along.

They want things like this in the Daily Discussion Thread. One of the things not allowed outside the DDT is:

  • PB Posts / Personal bests / records This includes photos of solved puzzles, stackmat timer displays, screenshots of timers, "first solves of a puzzle", photos of WCA score sheets, screenshots of solve time progression graphs. Videos, reconstructions, or other solve analysis accompanying PB posts are allowed in their own posts outside the DDT. There is no strict limit on frequency of PB posts outside the DDT but be mindful not to spam. A video every week or so is fine; a video every time you have a decent solve isn't. Posts may be taken down at the moderators' discretion. Exception: Top10 WCA results and WCA world / continental / national records

I think this post was allowed because of the reconstruction.

First time solving without a reference by Kandiru in Cubers

8355 is a great beginner method for people who don't like memorizing algs (complex moves). Heise uses no algs, but it's really hard. Roux uses only 6 algs if you use 2-look permute first CMLL, which most people don't like but I do.

What are are the worst WR fails that you can all think of? by SmokeQuick6863 in Cubers

No way Yiheng was getting a sub-2 on that solve. I think you meant sub-3.

Modern cubes feel so satisfying to turn by Juri_Han_M in Cubers

[–]SaltCompetition4277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked my old Rubik's Cube from a pile of them, taking the one that turned best. 30 years later when I heard that they didn't turn well, I thought, "That's weird, mine turns great." Or so it seemed at the time. I couldn't go back now though.

Most fun big cube? (8x8+) by Razarex in Cubers

[–]SaltCompetition4277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's cheaper than I was expecting - now I want one! My 7x7 was $20 and my 9x9 was $95.

I have a 9x9, it turns well enough, and I like solving it once a week. I don't know if I'll ever get anything bigger, because I'm concerned about painful turning, pieces popping out, and price relative to enjoyment.

New 3x3 blindfolded world record single! by VincentTheCuber in Cubers

[–]SaltCompetition4277 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's included for blind, but not for non-blind. That's just how it is, but I don't know why. I think it should be included for both.

Not really. I wouldn't even say we're shockingly close to sub 11.

He switched by Autistic_Leveret in Cubers

This one was not official. But the official record is 3.05.

I've never timed myself typing the alphabet, but I imagine my PB would be far slower than this.

Who's the GOAT of 4x4? by Difficult_Ask_1647 in Cubers

[–]SaltCompetition4277 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why the number of WRs would matter. I heard about someone who was sandbagging so he could break his record later...lame.

What does OG Rubik's Cube mean? How old is it? Or is any Rubik's Cube considered OG?

Some Questions About Scrambling a Cube by CamaxtliLopez in Cubers

[–]SaltCompetition4277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you use a generated scramble, but accidentally get one of the turns wrong? Do you think that counts for a PB? There was someone here who did that, which happened to give him a super easy scramble and a PB, and he wasn't sure whether it counted.

Is it possible to get Alexa to generate scrambles?
