Great. You'll start saving time in a while ;)

Anyone interested in buying a WRM V10? [SOLD] in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The WRM v10 is very divisive. May be it will be good for you.

Ok. I never heard this before :)

About your suggestions, I'm not a fan of Mortal Kombat. I only used the character for the pun. And regarding consolidation, I didn't quite understand (probably because of my level in English).

Short for Zborowski-Bruchem Last Layer, ZBLL is a set of 493 algorithms!
Assuming that the edges are already oriented, you can solve the last layer in one step after the last F2L. You can read more here.

Few cubers know ZBLL 100%.

[edit]
If you use beginner method, say it. My explanation is probably not clear.

What is ML?

Yes/no. Sub-Zero is a character in the famous video games Mortal Kombat (see here on Wikipedia).
I'm disappointed, my pseudo-joke doesn't work 😢

Beautiful turning style (lemmy.world)
 

I discover Isaac Davies, a Canadian cuber.
I like his turning style a lot.

Yes, it's a shame there are so few cubers here.

I already thought it was easier to sell in competition, but… I'm not going on comps :)
Yesterday evening, I find a buyer on a famous french classified ads site 👍

Indeed, Australia is a little bit far away :)
I wish I had loved the V10 but, too many lock up despite different settings and its magnets are to strong for me 🤷

I was thinking… There's no such thing as a second-hand market for cubes (?) 🤔

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

WB 10x10 Blind by Graham Siggins in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I was given the answer. He has to memorize more than 400 targets! (this the word blinders use)
But it is much less than a 65 cube MBLD!

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?

Yes, she is. And she's 7/8 years old!
Don't understand why we don't talk about her more.

[edit]
She is full ZBLL!

A little girl beat its own female world records (single and Ao5) and nobody is happy?!!

Happy for you :)
On my side, I focused on lookahead. It's pretty normal for everyone, but for me it's something new to apply it in each solve.

Hello,

For some people (as me), it's a long way to learn/recognize/execute. Don't be frustrated and keep enjoying cubing. In a little while, you'll be surprised at your progress. Patience.

Welcome and have a good dive into CFOP :)

New WCA event coming… (lemmynsfw.com)
 

The WCA should announce the new event at the end of the month. As a reminder, the current unofficial records are

  • single:
    2 days 23 hours 34 min. 06.89 s.
  • Ao5:
    3 days 02 hours 47 min. 19.65 s.

Clever way to learn OLL (lemmy.world)
 

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.

Good example solves with oriented edges (CFOP intermediate level) (lemmy.world)
 

Hi,

I share these two Scott Hunter's videos who are very instructives for cubers like me (Ao5 30 s.):

Perfect efficient solves and slow turning demonstration (lemmy.world)

For cubers like me (30 s. Ao5), this solve of Shawn Boucké from SpeedCubeReview channel is a brilliant demonstration of how efficiency is important and as speed should not be confused with haste.

Don't stress about trying to become sub-30 on the Rubik's cube. Just be efficient and Turn slowly

Another insane video of him:

The Slowest 8 Second Solve Ever

I discovered Shawn Boucké few days ago in his Roux method tutorial and he is a very good pedagogue.
Also, he has a very nice turning style.

Smallest difference between a single and an average (lemmy.world)
 

I've just discovered WCA statistics. There's a lot of information and it's very interesting.

But I understand what "Smallest difference between a single and an average" means.
Xuanyi Geng has the first place with 5.28 single and 5.29 Ao5 at the Kunshan Open 2024.

How can it be interpreted?
It means the cuber was very very constant/regular?

(see here)

Switch from CFOP 3-look LL to ZZ method. I'd like to know your opinion. (lemmynsfw.com)
 

Hi everybody,
Actually, I use CFOP 3-look LL and I don't want to learn all OLL (I don't really like algorithms).
For continued progress, I think about 2 things:

  • Continue with CFOP and work on x-crosses
    or
  • Learn ZZ method where F2L become clear and smooth and of course, only OLL-cross that I already know.

What do you think about it?

Hello 👋

Une sympathique cubeuse (@[email protected]) demande sur Mastodon des techniques pour mémoriser les algos, sachant qu'elle se lance dans le 4-look LL.

Si certain⋅es veulent partager leurs méthodes et astuces ici, ça pourrait profiter à tous ! 😉
