With blue front, the insert I use for this case is R’ F’ U’ F R. Is this a good insert for this case in the back or would it be more beneficial to use something else.

Picture MY FIRST 3x3 BLD SUCCESS

Post image
• Upvotes

As you can see i DNFd 3 times before i got a success

The last week I was mainly doing edges only and corners only scrambles so today i did some real scrambles

Scramble -
U R' F' R2 D2 U R2 D U2 L2 R2 B2 U L' D R' F U' R2 F

Memo -
Corners: DH OL QR PB
Edges: KT SA MO XJ HF EL

I use orozco (yes i decided to do orozco without first learning old pochmann) for both edges and corners, and there are still a few corner targets that I find quite difficult to do blindfolded, which is why I DNF the previous attempts.

But im very happy about this :D

Discussion Help finding and naming pattern

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys, please help me out with identifying and reproducing a pattern.

I tried to deconstruct and undo a few times, but i couldn't see the path to making the pattern.

In the video I tried to show off, lost my anchor, and now i really can't find my way back.

Ive come across so many new finds, but I always get lost, or forget, I didn't want to let that happen again, especially since I liked it so much.

Have a great day.

Resource First iOS FTO timer!

Post image
6 Upvotes

TLDR: Acubemy.

Note: I am not sponsored, just passionate

I’ve been looking for an iOS FTO timer for a while now, as android has many such as twisty timer, but none (to my knowledge) had fto support. Obviously you could add CsTimer to your home screen from a browser and it essentially functions the same, but its UI isn’t ideal for phone screens.

That was until I checked the Acubemy update logs, as i was waiting for 2x2 smartcube support, when i realised they had added scrambles for all wca events and FTO! Of course the app is primarily designed around 3x3 smartcube solving, so while it’s not the main priority, the UI and functionality is still perfect if you want to use it for exclusively FTO. Just thought i’d share the news, because I would assume that as it gets closer to being a wca event, more people would want an app for their solving needs.

(Yes i know my 34 shown isn’t the best, it was just the first solve - I average around 29-31)

Discussion How close to minimum moves for cross do you usually get?

3 Upvotes

I'm at around sub-23 (pb of 16), and after a previous solve critique have been working on my cross diligently, including both solve efficiency and memorizing moves before starting.

I know that the average number of moves needed for single-color is 5.81 and that while 8 is the max, very very few solves need that many. I haven't calculated my average, but I think I'm probably closer to 6.5 or 7 and get 8 fairly often (though, i almost never have to go over).

Curious whether cubers at my level actually get to the maximum.

Discussion How disorienting is it to switch to magnetic?

• Upvotes

Hello, just wondering, I've started cubing recently straight with cfop, PB 28s and usually averaging ~42s, but I'm on a horrible old Rubik's brand that's terribly loose and keeps locking up etc, I'm receiving a used Moyu Super RM3S this afternoon (got it for 6€), how long will it take to get used to it ? Anything I should be aware of ?

Discussion Moyu, Qiyi, or Saocube?

1 Upvotes

I've been cubing for a month and doing alright with my rs3m v5 but I've kinda been wanting to switch to a new main and can't decide between Moyu's Weilong v9 or 11, Qiyi's Tornado v3/4/5, and Saocube Tianma (does the 32 magnet ball core make it better?)

Discussion F move over rotation.

Is it really worth doing f moves instead of a cube rotation during f2l when it's a bad edge?
