I'm alrite at solving rubiks cube, nothing special though. Very addicting little object though, got to the point where I would have 2-3 and I would just solve them all in the row over and over again
. I only learned basic algirithims, I solve them in standard times like 1:30secs |

For blindfold solving, I've used variants of standard CO/CP/EO/EP and M2 method. I've also got a bit of a hybrid method of my own that I call "Shotgun Method" that I used to hit my 45 second blindfold times. Of course, the fastest method is using pure freestyle commutators, but it's harder on the memory. |

For standard blindfold cubing where time denotes memorization and execution, nobody uses pure Fridrich. |

That's intense. Can you imagine trying to solve one of these blindfolded?

I'm not a speed/blind solver, only recently got into cubing at all. Been practicing on my roomies 7x7x7 v-cube, at about 45 minutes on it lol. Getting better though.

I used to be a little into it, solving a 3x3 in about 35 seconds and a 4x4 in a couple minutes. But, I got bored of it.

The one and only time I did a 7x7 was on a virtual cube and it took me well over an hour.
4x4 is about my limit for solving for fun. 3x3 seems like a baby after you tackle a 5x5 .But jesus, those parity algorithms are just annoying and long as hell.

i can do up to 5x5x5 but never tried speed-cubing / blindfolded
when u speed cube you need to learn new stuff like how to hold the cube "correctly" and which fingers to use when turning it. cba lol, i just solve them my way which works fine also, to speed-cube *properly* i think there are different algoirthms that i would need to learn, to optimize speed. not sure if that's true or if every method of solving cubes has the same algorithms but yea ~~~fattychow |

Maybe like half an hour to 45 minutes or so? I can't recall, to be honest. It wasn't terribly fast. But for larger puzzles I don't care as much. They're harder to turn and aren't any harder to actually solve than smaller forms of the same puzzle -- just more tedious. I prefer puzzles that have a shorter stamina/attention span requirement.
The only enjoyment I've gotten out of larger cubes is for blindfold solving purposes. I've also blindfold-solved the Mirror Cubes, which was a fun little challenge. Last edited by MrRubix; 11-12-2010 at 04:57 PM.. |
