jestoni143 — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 07:38:19 GMT

guys, try nyo, ito na gamit kong lube ngayon after experienceing the side effects of armor all..(wala talaga kasing silicone dito eh)...

go the nearest HBC near you and buy a bottle of 'HORTALEZA HAIR CUTICLE'.. it costs around 50 pesos... oil based sya pero natutuyo, so far no downside efffects on my cube... hindi kinakayas ang cube (unlike in armorall).. at smooth sya... no need for break in...

I have observed that lots of threads for fridrich method exist in this forum, however i searched for petrus thread and found none at all except for method comparisons. Purpose: To converge all local petrus users and exchange ideas on how to use the method effectively and as fast as fridrich. I want the names of petrus users in this thread... those who use FULL PETRUS... or those who tweaked the method in petrus way.... Well petrus is as fast as fridrich (original fridrich and not ...

GOD'S ALGORITHM

BaruhbaL — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 18:19:24 GMT

Two-Phase-Algorithm and God's Algorithm The algorithm which gives an optimal solution in the sense that there is no shorter solution is called God's algorithm. There are cube positions (for example the superflip which flips all 12 edges), which are known to have a shortest maneuver length of 20 moves to be solved. It is still an open problem if there are cube positions which require 21 moves or more with God's Algorithm. I generated 1 million random cubes on a 3 GHz Pentium 4 PC, trying ...

Pair Change - F2L intuitive

jOms — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 06:20:05 GMT

Do you change pairs?

sometimes i do this..

for example..

the first thing i see was a green and orange pair, while i was performing the algs(intuitive) for this pair.. i notice that on the top layer, a blue and orange pair is already oriented and paired properly, so what i do is.. stop moving the green and orange pair and then insert the blue and orange pair.

I hope you guys understand.
