Bien le bonjour à vous !

I began to take an interest in Roux… which sounds incredible.

Nice! (it is incredible 😉)

I think that cubing is such a great hobby: with 3x3x3 you have several methods to discover (cfop, roux, zz, petrus, heise…), several events (classic, one hand, (multi)blind, fmc). You can find something that suit you: good at learning algs? you can try zz. you suck at tps? roux can be pretty fast. You’re in for the “mathematical” challenge ? petrus/heise or fmc it is.

Then you start 4x4x4, 2x2x2, 7x7x7 to make some fun patterns, 3x3x3 shape-mods, skewb, square-one, non-wca. It’s a bottomless pit, such an interesting bottomless pit…

I’m glad you finally found such a clear answer!

(You are down a cube robot though… :p)

Last time, I forgot to tell you about https://speedcubedb.com/reviews/ (which are apparently all made by Bas). There are a little bit more reviews than on https://basilio.dev/cubing/reviews.html

A little bit late since you’ve found what you wanted, but that may be useful for a next time (or another person).

And a full sub-1 solve!

That’s highly probable! So much TPS…

Yes. I think that there will be a lot more of “16s” WR before there are a 15. 16 moves is less than 3% of solutions, 15 is about 0.2%.

288/300 in 11:03:44. I can’t imagine the exhaustion!

The video is really nice! Love the stop motion.

Toujours aussi sympa, et très courageux de sa part.

What I do is : insert corners first, then edges. Corners are easy. For edges, I do an insert “beginner”-style (URU’R’ U’ F’UF). (Since it can breaks the adjacent side, I pair the edge with the corner on a higher layer, that is doing 1 turn on the face). Just experiment with it, I’m sure it will “click” at some point ;)

Nice!

4x4x4 is the next logical step, but megaminx is actually easier: no new algorithm is needed (if you come from the “beginner method”). Figuring out all layers (except the last one) is pretty easy. Then I suggest you do some 3x3x3 algs to see what is affected. Anyway, that’s what I use too, no world record in sight either!

4x4x4 parity is the real hassle. I use commutators to remember it, and it’s pretty inefficient too :p

Where did you buy them?

It depends on what better means for you. What’s your goal?

You can either check CFOP or Roux methods. Both are top-level cubing. CFOP is more algorithm oriented and might be closer to what you know, Roux is more “intuitive” with fewer algorithms.

J’aime beaucoup :

• love letter, 6 qui prend, set pour des parties rapides, avec également des explications rapides et simples pour les non-initiés
• ricochet robots qui pourrait également faire partie de la catégorie du dessus, mais que j’aime davantage (et pour lequel les nouveaux venus ont moins de facilité pour s’imposer. Quoique pour set, jouer avec des bons, c’est chiant aussi)

Hey there.

~40yo, twisty puzzles lover, I use Roux as my main method. I’ve learned to solve the cube back in 2000. I’m still not very fast (sub-25 ao500).

If you come from Reddit, you may know me from the DDT doing reconstructions on the daily scramble.

I’ve got about 30 differents “cubes”, including 2×3×4, rex, bermuda (jupiter), puppet v2, crazy octahedron (mars), curvy copter, axis timewheel…

I’d love to see a discussion thread on lemmy too (not daily obviously).
