A speedcubing website/blog focused on all things Rubik's Cube related
The Rubik’s Cube may seem like cubes randomly rotating around a core with no meaning. Well, technically it is… BUT, the point is that there’s a lot of underlying mathematics about the cube and its many permutation groups and probabilities, that you don’t necessarily need to understand. However, learning about it will give you a new perspective and hopefully a greater appreciation for this seemingly naive puzzle.
The Gan 11 M Pro, one of the best-selling 3x3s of all time, is a puzzle known for its lightweight and fast yet controllable turning feel. Recently, it has had quite a major price drop and is at a much more reasonable price than what it was a few years ago. But is this cube still worth it over three years after its release, and how does it fare against the best modern cubes like the Tornado v3 and the MoYu ys3m?
The most popular method isn’t always the best one. Many puzzles have super advanced methods that not many people know about. Are these hidden methods any good? Well, Some of them are, and some of them aren’t. Keep reading this article to find out.
After learning 2-look OLL and PLL, it’s obvious that full OLL and PLL are the next steps. But what about after that? Winter Variation, Summer Variation, VLS, ZBLS, COLL, and OLLCP are all algorithm sets for last layer. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of any of these before because this article covers which ones you should learn, and which ones you should ignore.
For some, practicing comes naturally, but for others, it can be difficult because of many reasons, like lack of time, or lack of a structured schedule or practice plan. However, don’t worry because this article has great practice guides for cubers with different amounts of time available per day.
Have you ever got a fast time and felt like you were the fastest cuber alive, then remember that the world record is 3.47 seconds. For me, this can be slightly discouraging because the level at which top cubers solve are at feels impossibly far. But to figure out exactly why, I’ve broken down the practice habits, solving techniques, and even some less commonly known tricks that you can use to instantly improve your solves.
Full f2l is a huge algorithm subset that includes algorithms to solve the first two layers (hence the name f2l). However, learning all 41 algorithms can be quite the task and it can be more of a time save to start with just learning the important ones. This article covers the best and most efficient f2l algorithms to learn.
Averaging less than thirty seconds is a huge achievement for any cuber. For some, it takes just a few months, and for some, it can take upwards of a year. Regardless of who you are, this article provides useful tips, and what skills you need to average sub-thirty.
