Hi all, just wondering if there’s anyone interested in becoming a mod here? It’s a very small community so it doesn’t require much. All I’ve done is basically create weekly discussion posts (which I’ve actually forgotten). It can probably be scheduled with an app but last time I did that it posted 3x every week and I haven’t made the effort to fix it.

I have personal things I need to take care of so I wouldn’t be able to be online as much in the next few weeks or months, so any help is appreciated!

Couldn't find a speedcubing community, so created one. Welcome anyone with any interest in twisty puzzles or speedcubing.

Any ideas for what this community should be are welcome!

Come here and introduce yourself! When did you start cubing? What's your favorite cubing-related resources? What's your favorite twisty puzzle?

Hi everybody,

I'm selling a MoYu WeiLong WRM V10 (Ball-Core + MagLev + UV) for 25 €.
I only used it for one day. It is like a new.
A saler did a mistake in my order and sent me the V10 I hadn't ordered. I tested it for a day and I didn't have the feeling I was looking for.

new value: €37
good to know for a shipment: I live in France

He will now try 11BLD.

Best reaction ever! Sub-2 minutes was sooo close if he didn’t hesitate for so long at the end.

Completly insane!
Graham Siggins solved blindfolded a 10x10 cube in 54:43.77 minutes

28.50 min. for inspection and memorization, and 25.53 for execution. The real achievement is to make no mistakes.

Beginning of solve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWd2YPEhu2w&t=11450s
The last minute of solve:
https://youtu.be/fWd2YPEhu2w?t=12935

When I see this, I wonder one thing: How many movements does he need to memorize?

Hello all! New to the platform. Reddit mods are out of control. 😝

Ive been cubing for years (LBL) but only recently decided to dive into CFOP. I deal with frustrating situations, like learning/recognizing/executing algorithms, better with support. Is there a local community around VA Beach?

Also I'm 40 and a strong 2A supporter so please don't warn me about the dangers of the internet 😝

[WR] 3x3x3 3.08 single by Yiheng Wang (王艺衡)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BKV7mYhgpI

Previous single by Max Park : 3.13s Jun 11, 2023.

Yiheng was so close to sub-3. A little lock on the pll. I guess that’s why he was both exciting (first time I’ve seen him so happy) and a little bit frustrated.

Yiheng finally has both single and average.

From cuberoot description:
- This is the first time in nearly 7 years that same person has held WR for both 3x3 single and avg. The last person who held this titile was Feliks Zemdegs.
- He is the first person since Feliks Zemdegs to hold the current 3x3 and 2x2 WRs.

So impressive…

I was searching some informations about OLL probabilities and found that on SpeedSolving forum from a British guy (Mark Rivers):

Here is a list of all the OLL shapes, ordered by the average number of moves they save compared to solving the same cases with 2-look OLL. Learning full OLL in this order is a good idea because the ones nearer the top will cut more time off your solves, on average.

10.00   Stealth
 8.50    Squares
 8.13    Dots (1/54)
 7.50    T shapes
 7.31    Small lightning bolts
 6.67    P shapes
 6.00    Kites
 5.88    C shapes
 5.58    L shapes
 5.56    Knight moves
 5.38    Fishes (excluding kites)
 5.25    Big lightning bolts
 4.25    H
 4.13    I shapes
 3.81    Dots (rare)
 3.44    Awkward
 2.63    W shapes

In fact, learning just the top 15 OLL algs delivers 42% of the total move savings of learning full OLL, so if you only want to learn some of it, those are the ones to go for.

If I learn OLL one day, I think I'll memorize cases in this order, it's smart.
