solved the megaminx intuitively>IN 3 HOURS!!! yeah!!!

hahahah.. ako yata ang unang nakakuha ng megaminx from kuya jonathan's (unscared's) batch order.. kagabi nilagyan ko agad ng lube tapos ngayong araw.. i have solved it in about a "total" of 3 hours. meaning, i have not solved it continuously. coz in between i do BLD practice for corners.. haha..so here's my timeline:

1st 30mins:

i solved the minx from the 1st face until i have one face left to solve. i used the white as my bottom face (12 faces ang minx).

2nd 30 mins:

i figured out a way to orient the edges

next 15mins:

i can orient the corners. meaning from now on i can do the sort-of-OLL-part

next 45 mins.

figured out a permutation algo and used it to randomly permute edges.. im having a hard time for this one since im staring at the minx most of the time.haha. but i have solved the minx to the point where the edges are left to be permuted.. but sadly i cannot invent an algorithm that permutes edges without altering the other parts. (This was done while ynajatrice and i were waiting for our 3-5pm summer class)

next 30 mins:

i have approached the last layer in another way since im stuck.. i tried some 3x3x3 commutators i know (luckily some of them worked) and used an edge permutation that disregards the corners.

last 30 mins:

the edges are solved. the corners are left unsolved. for these corners i used an modified 3x3x3 beginer's method algo to permute them w/o conserving their orientation. then lastly, used a commutator that orients the corners. w/o altering the other parts of the minx!!!

yeah!! now i can search the internet for more advanced algos!!!***

***BTW, it's no challenge when you search for algos right away. i have solved 2x2x2, 3x3x3(this one took me 2months, 1 month for the last layer...coz this was my 1st ever "solved" cube), 4x4x4, and 5x5x5, and now the minx at least once w/o any help from the internet... INTUITIVELY.. hahaha.. it's troublesome to solve a puzzle that's complicated but once you solve it.. i experience CUBE NIRVANA..


i challenge you all to do the same...


walang challenge pag may kodigo!!!! HAHAHA

aus a intuitive lahn galing... galing...

wow 4x4 and 5x5 ng walng algo.. galing mo dude.. grats sa bago mong intuitive megaminx solve.. hehehe!!! try mo nga ulit bka chamba lng!!

nope, it's not chamba.. i try to do an algorithm and see it's effect on the minx then using its inverse to put back the minx to it's previous position. i have 4-5 algos for the last layer i dont know yet the notation so maybe i can show it sa bulacan cubemeet

wow ang lupet mo tol.....

Dude, you have the right to post this in the bragging rights thread... hint hint... lol ^^

oh is there a bragging rights thread? never read it.. or maybe skipped it... i've not visited the forums often... URL?

EDIT: already found it.. anyway, hindi ko talaga nakita toh... thanks narin.. il just post this thread's URL there..

Well, its not actually intuitive. That's major analytic thinking there.

waw..galing talaga ng taga UP! hehehe.. galing nyo po sir..

Reviving this thread, ganun din ako sa Square-1. 3 hours din, hehe. Same with the 4x4 and 5x5. I use only one single algorithm to pair up the edges (which i discovered myself). Second solve ko ng 4x4 nagulat ako kasi unexpectedly, may parity pala. So ang ginawa ko, inulit ulit ko lng ung ginagawa ko, parang break-restore-break-restore ng 3 pairs of dedges, Tapos ayun naflip na yung isa.

ako natry kong isolve ung sq 1 intuitively, pero di ko magawa, hanggang cube shape lang talaga, pero nung pinagaralan ko ung mga algos ng isang araw, ayun sub70 s na ako...
