so kilominx isn't an event but clock is?

@Z3Cubing 7 жыл бұрын

Yup. Keep in mind that clock is a Rubik's brand puzzle that has existed since the 80s, while there has only been one (pretty low quality) kilominx that has existed until a few months ago.

One thing I found really distinctive and distinguishable about your tutorials is that you thoroughly explain every step, making sure that we get it, with a case, and making it easier for some experienced cubers, you've taught me 2x2, 4x4, Skewb, Pyraminx and the void, thanks man.

@mrshenanigan8367 7 жыл бұрын

As of right now, he's taught me the 3x3 and 2x2. It's not much, but I'm planning on learning my whole collection (besides floppy cube and this random, unpopular puzzle)! As of right now, my collection is: 3x3, 2x2, Floppy Cube (1x3x3), Kilominx, Megaminx, Pyraminx, Pyramorphix, and Skewb. There is 1 more, which is the unpopular puzzle in which I don't know the name of. It's like a 1x2x3, but pillowed.

Here's a trick I figured out. In the PLL case with 2 bars, you can solve it instantly by holding it so one bar is in the front and the other is in the back left. If it is in the back right, just rotate the kilominx. Then do a J-Perm and it is solved. :)

Hey! I got a PLL case aside from the two you went over. Anyone know why this happened? I didn't use the first algorithm ( R' D' R D) for every single corner. I solved the middle second layer intuitively, and a few of the 3rd layer that way as well. If anyone's really interested, I'll provide the case... My first layer "white" face is the dark blue face, so light blue is my last layer color... in clockwise from a top view of the puzzle the pieces are: (lightblue/grey/orange), (lb/grey/tan), (lb/green/tan), (lb/green/purple), (lb/orange/purple). Obviously the rest of the puzzle is solved.

Do as many U moves as you need to find it, just don't rotate your k-minx, as he said, and don't forget to do the D at the end of every R' D' R D sequence.

There are definitely faster ways of doing it by learning a few algorithms, but for an intuitive, 4-move commutator that works for any case on countless types of cubes, it's unbeatable. I still use it on most of my megaminx speedsolves at around a 1:50 average.

@ht-mq9sx 7 жыл бұрын

So when I get to solving the last layer, making it so the opposite color of the first layer are all facing up, but when I do the 4 move algorithm, it solves the last layer correctly,(meaning the edges are all correct) but it messes up the face on the bottom right corner. I keep trying, but it goes in an infinite loop. Is there a certain way to position it before doing the algorithm? Any tips??? I have solved it before using this method, but only twice, since now I am stuck at this stage. Keep up the great work!!! :)

@Z3Cubing 7 жыл бұрын

Lots of people mess up with that step, but it's just a matter of doing the whole thing exactly right. Just make sure you're only turning the U side and you never rotate the cube, also being sure to do final D moves when necessary.
