agreed. Have you ever practiced 3x3 without inspection? I imagine that would help in 5x5x5 (unless you use some sort of yau method).

i havenā€™t specifically practiced it. But my cross is pretty good on 5x5. I can make crosses quite often even

There has only been 30 people ever to get a sub 1 single on 5x5 in a wca competition. 30 people!!!

I feel like its going from 10 seconds to 3 seconds on 2x2. Going from 3 seconds to 2 seconds seems harder.
But I guess its all preference.
But donā€™t you feel like you start massively slowing down as you approach sub 1???
Idk lol

how many people have gotten sub-5? :slight_smile: But, yeah, I understand where youā€™re coming from.
edit: whoops you said 2x2

i get what you mean and the last ten would be harder than the previous 10 for sure. But 47 seconds is a lot to make up.
I know guys that have gotten sub 1 singles after a few months of becoming serious about 5x5. And I certainly wouldnā€™t compare a sub 2 5x5 single to sub 10 on 2x2.

what zbll cases are good to learn?

I like Lā€™s the best cp recognize is super easy and ep isnā€™t to bad. After that Tā€™s and Uā€™s arenā€™t too bad. H has less algs but bad recognition. Most 2glls are nice to know as well.

thanks

I think Iā€™m faster on stackmat than keyboard now.

Ugh why
Shouldā€™ve been an official 8 easily
Stupidest solve ever

F2l was like 10 moves

Iā€™ve been trying to learn some 5 cycles. Itā€™s not actually too complicated.

is there an algorithm making site? That would be really helpful.

Cube explorer.

that has to be downloaded though, right? Iā€™m using linux, not windows, if that means anything to you. Soā€¦ does it still work?
edit: never mind. Got my brother to do it for meā€¦ second edit: or not

Oh yeah. I donā€™t know but another one is ksolve+. That might also have to be downloaded though

I got it working, but just on a different computer. I donā€™t have access to the computer all the time, but thatā€™s okay. Btw, is it possible to point out a certain move (such as M slices) without narrowing it down to anything?
Iā€™m just trying to figure out certain commutators. Did any of that make sense?

not sure if i get what you mean. you can filter out certain moves if thats what you mean. im not sure if cube explorer allows slices, havent been on it in a while.

oh. Yeah it allows slices. I just wish there was something that involved set up moves. Iā€™m trying to figure out some 5 cycles, but the intuitional 5 cycles are longer than the computed ones. Itā€™s like 5 more moves per cycle.

This is driving me crazy. Seriously, has no one ever thought of a 5 cycle before? I canā€™t find even the slightest hint of that anywhere.
Could you try to help me with this?

Iā€™m trying to figure out if thereā€™s any intuition behind this. And how I can figure this out with similar enough cases.

have you all seen the new uwr. Set by the one and only:
