Cubing Corner

@stuarttw

sub 10 or my time? I almost had a sub 8 today, but I forgot the corners.

your time.

Attempted a 3bld today. Corners solved but had a few edges flipped in their place. I think it went fairly well for my first attempt

Good. How long did memo take?

I don’t know how you guys do it blind… I can hardly even remember the algorithms in the first place.

ever seen a tutorial or explanation of blind? A 3x3x3 only requires 20 letters of memorization

10-11 mins I think. I reviewed 2-3 times

[Fuzzwad]

I’m happy. Just got four minutes 33 seconds. First time I recorded my time!

That is a great time for the first timed solve!

Hmmm… I thought the skewb was about as easy as the 2x2. Which do you practice more?

I have been doing skewb for about a month
I have been doing 2x2 seriously for about 2 months

Skewb is harder to spam tps

Which takes fewer moves?

Well
I know cll for 2x2 but only now Sarah’s intermediate for skewb

So skewb usually takes around 30 while 2x2 is around 20

ok, i guess that makes sense then.

I’m happy right now… Just did an (about) 3 minute solve! Slow, but progress is being made. Also, got all steps memorized as well today. I could not remember step six. At least from that video that Pineapple Jumpsuit posted for me.

good. I wish I could cut off that much time on my record :). I think yours is probably the most interesting time of cubing.

had two more unsuccessful attempts. It’s almost getting funny every time. Both attempts resulted in an accidental mental switch of two targets resulting in a cycling of three pieces on the inner wings. So close sooooo many times. I think I’ve come within three pieces at least 10 times.

whenever I think of memo for big bld I imagine switching two letters and that would make a world of difference. How many letters of memo in a typical 6bld solve?

no it doesn’t make much of a difference. But a miss is as good as a mile. Think of it this way. You’re running a mile on a typical track (4 laps equals a mile). You skip part of the track. You just skipped maybe a 10th of a mile. You haven’t run a mile but you’ve run nine 10ths of a mile after four laps. You’re just jumping ahead.
It generally takes about 125 letters.

and why do you know that? Is it just a bit of deduction I hope?

Umm. Butterfingers?

Yeah… I dropped it.
