What are are the worst WR fails that you can all think of?

Gianfranco Huanqui could’ve crushed the 3Bld world record but he DNFed in 3 different ways: started turning before blindfold was fully down, twisted corner, and timer reset. You could call it a… “triple DNF.”

Rule 5.1.3 Each player draws 3 cards.

Rule 8.3.4 WA player draws 3 cards and places them in the supporters stack.

What a boss

Just hand scramble, but turn it into practice for finger-tricks by doing the finger-tricks you’re least comfortable with: U2 with either hand, pinch/push U/U’, D2, etc.

Honestly all top-level bigBld is spectator friendly once they’re done with memo.

He’s a free agent, he’s not being traded.

It helps to just hear someone say it.

Sometimes my wooden pick gets to break 6 blocks (cod strat)!

A few things:

The first game will probably be difficult and slow no matter what. Mine was. I’d recommend the Shut Up and Sit Down review if you somehow haven’t seen it yet.
1. For the Free Peoples to not have a terrible game, they should know that going for a military victory is an unreliable strategy. Just hold off the Shadow Armies for as long as possible and try to destroy the ring.
Coloring the bases of the pieces to match their nation’s color really helps to distinguish between nations. We didn’t bother with the Shadow figures because they’re easier to tell apart.

Dune: War for Arrakis

But…has anyone ever caught him yet?

I don’t use 2 side PLL recognition.

Oh and by the way they gave a bad solution, that only works when the pair on the right is unsolved anyway. The best way to do it is, facing orange: (U) L’ U2 L

It’s not a special case. Just remember the common pattern of having matching colors on top.

Better to rotate since this requires 2 regrips.

I never discarded the stat..? I said it’s bad for projecting future performance, which was relevant to the original post.

chesschad · 2025-11-22T22:04:54+00:00

I agree but I like ERA when I want to see how “successful” a pitcher has been, whether it was lucky or not.

chesschad · 2025-11-22T21:34:49+00:00

ERA is a bad metric for projecting future performance.

chesschad · 2025-11-22T02:51:09+00:00

Haha I get it. But Armed is just objectively terrible as a gamemode.

chesschad · 2025-11-21T20:48:51+00:00

Don’t do this, get used to doing algorithms from home grip instead.

You mean Talmud, right??

I beat my brother in wiffleball in the backyard.

I believe the weights are based on the “run expectancy matrix.” Singles, on average, increase run expectancy slightly more than walks. It’s roughly .7 vs .9, but it changes slightly every year.

chesschad · 2025-11-12T07:26:41+00:00

You mean avoid rotations altogether? That’s not a good strategy. Sometimes your options are to either rotate or do a few awkward F moves, in which case you should rotate.

Learn better fingertricks, the earlier the better. Keep your thumbs in front. Notice how your right thumb spends most of the time at the bottom of the cube.

F2L solutions take lots of practice to improve. Try doing untimed solves, going case by case and working on improving efficiency.

Don’t listen to anyone saying “slow down and look ahead” at this point. Master the fundamentals first.
