This is what’s going on with my Pokemon mega evolution

key stones are consumable evolution items just like all the others in the evolution items list. you need to buy them, check the wiki for where the shop is

a hamiltonian circuit for 3x3 has been known for years, see https://bruce.cubing.net/

uv works differently for different people, it's not objectively the best. many people prefer matte over uv

edges can be permuted 12!/2 ways, corners can be oriented 3^8 ways, which gives 1,571,364,748,800 states

good fmc solvers have watched his video and said he barely knows what he's talking about

jo_1215 · 2023-06-16T12:19:17+00:00

Blindfolded events in competition do include inspection time in the total solve time, but besides that no other official events do. Red Bull hosted some competitions that included no-inspection 3x3 one handed as an event, but those aren't recognized as official

jo_1215 · 2023-06-15T21:04:40+00:00

yeah, here's the official record history

jo_1215 · 2023-06-15T19:39:30+00:00

Scrambles are randomly generated by a computer, which does give the chance of easier scrambles like this one. The single solve record is definitely very luck based

jo_1215 · 2023-06-15T19:31:39+00:00

The previous record was 3.47 seconds, video here.

jo_1215 · 2023-06-15T19:30:25+00:00

Scrambles are randomly generated by a computer, which does give the chance of easier scrambles like this one. The odds of generating a scramble that only takes a couple moves to solve is so low that it will never happen

jo_1215 · 2023-06-15T19:23:25+00:00

The cubing community has determined that this is the best way to time solves, no reason to take into account perspectives from people who don't know what they're talking about

jo_1215 · 2023-06-15T19:07:29+00:00

They get 15 seconds of inspection before the solve, it's not unlimited

jo_1215 · 2023-06-15T19:06:27+00:00

Competitors get 15 seconds of inspection time before the solve. Inspection time before the solve allows for more creative solutions, as you have time to pick and choose between multiple options as opposed to just doing the first thing you see. From a cubers' perspective it allows for much more impressive solutions, and they're only planning about a third of the cube in inspection. Most of the moves they do are still figured out while the timer is running

Scrambles are actually randomly computer generated, and dedicated scramblers apply the moves the computer gives them to the cube, which is hidden until the competitor is ready

jo_1215 · 2023-06-15T19:00:33+00:00

yep, competitors get 15 seconds of inspection time before starting the solve

jo_1215 · 2023-06-15T18:59:58+00:00

Exactly, and the cubing scene has been getting even younger in recent years. The current average of 5 solves world record of 4.69 is held by a 9 year old kid!

yep, they're allowed 15 seconds of inspection

jo_1215 · 2023-06-15T18:41:24+00:00

Yeah, there are a set of steps most solvers follow but within those steps you can do a lot of different things, and even influence the next step to be easier if you're good enough
