Rubiks cubes
My friend taught me how to solve a cube with the basic method and its pretty addictive. I have nearly optimized my performance with that method. I can solve a cube in like a minute and 40 seconds. I have been cubing for about a week.
I know theres gotta be mad awesome cubers on this website. Lets talk about rubiks cubes.

Re: Rubiks cubes
We have a person in FFR that can solve a rubik's cube in 1 minute, blindfolded
We all refer to him as "the rubix guy" |

Re: Rubiks cubes
My fastest solve was using the Petrus method (about 32 seconds)...this was in high school and I forgot how to do it. Fridrich method was what I first learned...I'm slow now because I don't practice it...Probably can only solve in about 40-50 seconds on average.

Re: Rubiks cubes
I use a half-assed Friedrick method for timed things. Never managed to break a 25 second average. Just messing around I like the roux method because I like watching M slice moves.
I find solving twisty puzzles relaxing especially ones that just take some time to place the pieces like the face turning octohadron, pyraminx crystal and flower rex. |

Anyway, I get 45-1:15 depending on luck with a janky ass method nobody else uses.

Re: Rubiks cubes
Timed myself 10 runs about a year ago using layer-by-layer (beginner) method and averaged about 50 seconds. Was always too lazy to sit down and actually learn Fredreich.

Re: Rubiks cubes
Used to be pretty fast (personal best for a single solve I think was like 15-16s sighted), but it was like over a decade ago -- I probably suck now.
Haven't had the slightest inkling to get back into it. I feel like once you get past certain barriers, getting faster requires exponentially more memorization -- which is time that I'd rather devote to other hobbies. |

Re: Rubiks cubes
Actually I remember having a lot of fun with the Mirror Cube, if anyone's ever tried one. It's like a cube with no colors -- each piece is a different size. I remember leonid solving one I think.
edit: Yeah, this one -- I guess it's called Mirror Blocks, my bad: Last edited by Reincarnate; 12-1-2016 at 08:21 PM.. |
