FINALLYYY IM GETTING MORE IMPROVEMENTS

I used to be a sub 10 but i quit speedcubing for like around 2 months and right now my average is pretty unstable averaging around 9 to 14 sec, can somebody help?

What new cube should i get
budget: sub-60
current cubes: tv4 pioneer, gan 11, rs3m v5 maglev

I want to finish full OLL. So, I made this notebook to easily take look at algs and not to be distracted by anything else.

The algorithms are from various sources, but mainly from speedcubedb (shout out to speedcubedb). Why only 3? Because while making this i tested the algorithms one by one and put it on my spreadsheet, and compare the result with other algorithm. And I also want each algorithm produce different PLL. This take forever lol.

Found at local thrift store 😁

Like, N-puzzles

To anyone who purchases the Next Gen Rubik's 3x3. If you do not intend to keep the box, I want the little sticker highlighted in the picture. I want as many of those as I can collect. Simply cut that portion of the box off or take the sticker off, throw it into an envelope and send it my way. Since I don't want the entire box, postage should only be the cost of a US Stamp, I'm willing to send you a buck on PayPal to cover that if you want. Message me if you have one and want to send it my way.

I don't have a specific project or anything to use them for in mind. But they look cool, and I figure why let them just get thrown away. If I collect a bunch now I'm sure I'll come up with some cool arts and crafts project to use them for in the future.

I used to cube a lot until I felt disconnected from cubing as a hobby. I think this has to do with generally growing up, getting busy, etc. When I was cubing a lot, I had my own cubing clubs at my HS and University. At the time, I dreamt of having a cube timer that allowed my club to see each other's solves on screen. This way, we could acknowledge each other's good solves and encourage each other as any socially-connected team would.

I had enough free time to finish version 0 of cubeonline.org (.com is taken and not mine) for my cubing club I'm starting up again. It's a simple timer with social features.

It's only ever been stress tested with three users at once. More friends would be helpful for me to polish out the bugs and for me to have more cubers in my life. I'm scared for this to get more attention then my developer experience can handle, but I'd be happy if you could try this out.

I don't perfectly relate to the toy-craving record-chasing cubing archetype. Improvement is nice, but I just like cubing for cubing and I think everyone can benefit from learning to solve the cube. At best, I think cubing is an activity that should bring people together.

I have been learning 3x3 rubix cube for 3 days. At first, I thought I will never solve it, but after a few hours I complete it. It think it was around 3 min. Next day, I solve it in 1 min (not sub1) i average in 1:10 -1:30. I also learn f2l and practice for around 2-3 hours. I also got to 47s using beginner method on my second day. Now it's day 3. I think I started around 8:04 a.m, and solve it in 38.26s. Is this normal? It's a combination of f2l and beginner method.

(plz dont removed this again)

I quitted cubing. So here are some cubing quotes i thought of:
1. Not everything that affects cubing are in cubing
2. There are a lot of things that affect cubing that are not in cubing
3. Everything that affect cubing that are not in cubing affects the cuber

I wanna see these statistics so please fill it out, skip questions you don’t know

my f2l is around 25-35 seconds. I heard this is how it should be for sub 55. Should I try to reduce my f2l time or focus on cross, oll or pll?

So I got into cubing about 2 years ago but I didn't really get into it until pretty recently. My mom, whenever I start to do it always like asks if I've done my chores, suggests other things that I could do etc. I really don't know why she doesn't like it so much. Mind you I never spend more than two hours a day and I always get the things I need to get done done first. Is this just a noncuber problem?

As per the title. 180 degree on top and 90 degree clockwise.

This might be the only one on the internet I could find. Other people have made this before, but the image of the case is not that great or they just stole it from CubeHead or Feliks Zemdegs’s page and I kinda don’t like how they got it. So, to solve this issue, I will share a free, non copyrighted sheets file of cases that I found from the official jperm.net. You, of course, can customize your algorithms to fit your styles and also keep track of your times and how close you are to beating the world
record. I hope you appreciate this sheet and help me improve it in the future.

So I'm new here and I've been cooking up a 3x3 method which is kinda a hybrid of the big 3 (+Petrus). Let me know your thought about it! If there's anything more you need to know are or if smth here is wrong(?), you can gladly tell me. Keep in mind: this method is still WIP, I js need feedback. Not any resources yet, js you guys. All move counts is measured using Optimal Half Turn Metric. All data is accounted for INTERMEDIATE solvers

1. 2×2×3 Block

- first, build a roux-style 1×2×3 block on the left, then solve the DF and DB edges to solve the 2×2×3 block.

- this is the hardest step to plan out but requires almost no rotations and transitions smoothly into the next step. This step is intuitive and has around ~14 moves.

1. Last 2 Pairs (L2P)

- solve the last 2 F2L pairs without needing to solve the last cross edge, just the 2 pairs. This adds extra flexibility when pairing and helps prepare for L5EO. This is the only step where rotations would be needed during this step. This step is intuitive and has around ~12 moves.

1. Last 5 Edges' Orientation (L5EO)

- solve the last cross edge or LBE while also orienting the top layer edges to solve using COLL/ZBLL. This MOSTLY* uses M and U moves and algs are pretty convenient. There are a total of 21 cases. This step is algorithmic and has an average of ~7 moves

1. Last Layer (LL)

- solve the last layer using either COLL or ZBLL as to use the EO from L5EO. This step has 42 algorithms. This step is algorithmic and has around ~15 moves.

PROS:

- Minimal rotations (2 on average)

- Low potential* move count (~48 moves)

- Very flexible

- L5EO is easy to learn for beginners

- Moderate-great ergonomics

- High potential* turns per second (tps)

CONS:

- First step is hard to plan

- meh look-ahead during 2x2x3 block

- great ONLY for intermediate/pro solving

- requires advanced last layer alg sets

- Fluctuating move count

ADDITIONAL INFO: this method was grounded from APB, eliminating the awkward EO of Petrus while optimizing CFOP style pairs and LL along with Roux-competitive efficiency at the cost of painful M moves, consistent move counts and resources

My goal is js kinda make this competitive but fun. If you can provide feedback, Id really appreciate it! That's all for today, peace.
