When u r starting out in clock, is it normal to be bad at scrambling it or is it just me?
@gabriellemorasse6942 ай бұрын
Since I learned clock notation only 4 years after I started solving the puzzle, I am probably not qualified to answer that question... Although I remember that it took me a lot more time to scramble the puzzle than solving it when I first started following scrambles. If you feel like it takes you too much time to the point where your practice sessions become unpleasant or frustrating, hand-scrambles are perfectly fine when you start so that you spend more time solving than scrambling, but eventually following scrambles pays off since it gives you the opportunity to practice your accuracy. I hope this helps! 😊

One question: If I will learn your method, will I be able to achieve sub 6 averages? I do about 300-400 solves per day (for clock only) and I average about 7 seconds. So, once again, will I improve if use your method? I hope you reply.
@gabriellemorasse6947 ай бұрын
Are you currently using standard flip? For your practice volume, I do believe it could take you a week to get used to the method and get the same global average (I know someone who was averaging around 6.0 with standard flip who started getting averages sub 5.7 after only two days trying the method...). Then, to give you an idea of what your progress could look like based on mine, at the end of this summer I decided to practice for a month doing 100 solves per day and I went from averaging 6.0 to 5.5 and it took me three additionnal months with 40-50 solves per day to reach 5.0 global. Note that taking full advantage of lucky cases (third pdf in the description) is probably required to reach sub 6 though (you are going to have to practice pin order modifications by solving a scramble with a particular lucky case over and over until you get times close to your average for example). I hope this is helpful! 😊
@U_Perm7 ай бұрын
@@gabriellemorasse694 Yeah, I'm using flip. I learned some lucky cases but I never found a pdf or something with all of them, so I'll check yours. And yes, this was super helpful, thanks A LOT (If I average sub 6 I will be NR holder😀)

UPDATE: Hi! It's me again😅 I have mained clock for a copule of months now, and all of my hard work has finally paid off. I average mid 5 and also I am national champion this year. I still use standard flip with a lot of tricks and I can flip in a variety of ways now. I try to improve my solutions for them to be more efficient. I sometimes fail comps, but honestly it's ok and in August I have another national championship in my country and I hope I win...
@comp.lex47 ай бұрын
I wonder if theres a way to incorporate the first inspected move into 10mm- or at the very least add in the idea of the final \ move. Could be a lot of intermediate potential for a 9 move simul method with flip that only needs one move to be "memorized."
@gabriellemorasse6947 ай бұрын
Since I have never heard about 10mm before, I don't have enough knowledge to fully answer your question, but of course, adding simultaneous moves will make it more efficient. 🙃 You could execute the first two moves of this method on the front side, then match the remaining edges together and make the latter point to twelve and flip with one move left on the first side that could be done simultaneously when matching the last corner on the second face for example. From my standpoint, adding simultaneous moves could be a disadvantage when it comes to lucky cases and makes solving clock less creative/even more repetitive than it already is, but this is a great idea if you want to reduce your move count while still limiting the amount of information to memorize in inspection! 😊
@comp.lex47 ай бұрын
@@gabriellemorasse694 10 move memoless is really cool. You solve cross plus one corner before you flip, but you don't align them. Then, on the other side, you can use simul moves as long as they don't break the progress you made on the back- so they're used to solve the rest of the corners as you build and align the second cross. I've been trying this hybrid method out, I'm calling it the foxgirl flip, and it seems to have some real potential!

Thank you for asking, I already thought about making a video on lucky cases, but I wasn't too sure if it was going to be useful. Unfortunately, I currently don't have enough time to work on it, but I might be able to do so by June 2024... 😬 In the meantime, my best advice is to learn both standard and left-handed pin order (pdfs in the description) and decide for steps 2-3-5-7-8 which pin order makes you take full advantage of the lucky case(s) for a particular scramble (you can switch from right-handed to left handed pin order many times in a solve). I have a detailed example for two adjacent edge clocks at the same hour under Oxzowachi Alt's comment in the comment section of this video. I hope this is helpful...🙃

Simultaneous turns can be tricky at first (when I invented the method, I was not able to rotate two gears at the same time). But if you start doing slow solves focusing on the first step, I believe you can get comfortable after maybe 100-200 solves for 1-2-3 hour rotations and 300-400 solves to master 4-5-6 hour rotations (I try to avoid these at the back (index finger) as much as possible if they are clockwise (anticlockwise if you follow the steps for left-handed people)).
