Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

BEASTLY CUBE TIMES

haii rubix

do most people here use fridrich or what? petrus anyone? vanilla?

Because I never took my time to learn the fridrich method in more completion I learned about 4-8 algorithms in the F2L. I solve the rest using basic layer by layer method. I am going to start working on my times a bit and working on the algs soon hopefully

Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

My e-penis is ****ing huge and here are my Rubik's times to prove it:

Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

Say I were to learn just 2-4 F2L algs...then try and repeat those until I get my F2L's done. Is that a smart idea? Or should I try learning more?

No they aren't, you retard.

Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

I just got 1 minute 38 seconds which is for me good. Also, I'm using the Layer-by-Layer newbie method but I tried learning the Petrus and when I'll be comfortable enough, I'll do the Fridrich.

how to fast, guys?

Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

my 3x3x3 best time is 135 seconds.

And i have one of those cheap cubes at 1$ that won't flip.

Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

Lol jokim get some silicone in there, it'll work like a charm.

So does anyone here have a simplified F2L method that doesn't involve me learning 40 or so algs?

[jokim]

Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

Could someone explain me what all those terms are ?

F2L and all those things o_O

I'm totally lost XD

do you consider filling the bottom face and 1st layers as algs ? lol
(I'd say there are many methods >.> lol)

If not, i use only 4 algs to finish the cube at that point >.> (lots of repetitions - i should go learn more, especially for the 3rd layer and top face XD)

[aTzUeLo1191]

Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

F2L - First 2 Layers, just after the cross, there are algs to get the corners of the first layer and the 2nd layer all together.

OLL - Orient last layer, it makes all of the last sides' colors facing up - cross and corners.

PLL - Permutate last layer, its just aligning the Middles and the Corners of the last layer.

Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

Oh, Thanks.

If i wasn't lazy i'd surely go learn a few more algs to finish last layer and top face faster XD

Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

Yeah, I need to try a silicone also. My Curel hand lotion has been working pretty great, but I should probably try to use something official.

Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

2x2- 15 seconds
3x3- 28.35 seconds ( Lucky Solve), Best full solve- 35.31 seconds
4x4-4 minutes,51 seconds
5x5-Around 8 minutes

It has worked fine for me but you should try to learn as many as you can


EDIT: Sorry I haven't updated in a while i got 3/4 through it last week and my internet just randomly failed and closed and i didn't finish it. BUT when I'm not really tired I'll go trough and update tomorrow. For now I must say very nice times from everyone, and sorry to whoever posted a lucky solve but I cannot except that score for if I did, my best would be considerably faster.

Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

my best 3x3x3 time is 55 seconds =/

btw,
rubix taught me how to solve them blindfolded

[jokim]

Re: The Official Rubik's Thread

what does "Lucky solve" means ? o_O

i know what lucky means and i know what solving is, Just want... precisions/examples ?

I decided to learn lars petrus method (sorry if i spelled it wrong)
sure gonna save me lot of time if I "master" it (and get a better cube by then)

rubix taught me how to solve them blindfolded

cause there is really some kind of "trick" ??
you DO have to memorize the whole thing and think ahead of like.... 40 moves, no ? (insane XD)

That sure is neat tho. Congrats.
