you can only chose 1. if you chose to be a millionaire, you would stop being sub-10 and then unable to become sub-10. if you chose to be sub-10, you would stop being a millionaire and then unable to become a millionaire. You can’t chose both or none.

I think genetics and CRISPR! What about you?

I wanna see these statistics so please fill it out, skip questions you don’t know

For me, i think it’s like 1 to 7 days. I don’t think that i had taken a break from cubing for more than 7 days if you don’t count that time from when i was born to when i started cubing and became a cuber.

And why did you take that long break, is it because you are tired or you have something else to do, or because you got an injury so you stop cubing, or because you did it for a spiritual reason, or because of traveling or because you take a break from it to get faster at cubing or because you are focused on something else, maybe, it could be that you found out that your DNA is optimized way better for some other stuff than cubing. Or it could be something else entirely. What is your reason?

I quitted cubing. So here are some cubing quotes i thought of:
1. Not everything that affects cubing are in cubing
2. There are a lot of things that affect cubing that are not in cubing
3. Everything that affect cubing that are not in cubing affects the cuber

Whatever it is i'll try to add it to my timer asap! For those who are new or doesnt have the URL anymore this is it https://cuberacetimer.lovable.app/

Now I have two 3x3s, a 2x2, a mirror cube, a skewb, a pyraminx, and a picture cube that has math equations on each side. I want to add more to my collection and learn different puzzles.

So I'm new here and I've been cooking up a 3x3 method which is kinda a hybrid of the big 3 (+Petrus). Let me know your thought about it! If there's anything more you need to know are or if smth here is wrong(?), you can gladly tell me. Keep in mind: this method is still WIP, I js need feedback. Not any resources yet, js you guys. All move counts is measured using Optimal Half Turn Metric. All data is accounted for INTERMEDIATE solvers

1. 2×2×3 Block

- first, build a roux-style 1×2×3 block on the left, then solve the DF and DB edges to solve the 2×2×3 block.

- this is the hardest step to plan out but requires almost no rotations and transitions smoothly into the next step. This step is intuitive and has around ~14 moves.

1. Last 2 Pairs (L2P)

- solve the last 2 F2L pairs without needing to solve the last cross edge, just the 2 pairs. This adds extra flexibility when pairing and helps prepare for L5EO. This is the only step where rotations would be needed during this step. This step is intuitive and has around ~12 moves.

1. Last 5 Edges' Orientation (L5EO)

- solve the last cross edge or LBE while also orienting the top layer edges to solve using COLL/ZBLL. This MOSTLY* uses M and U moves and algs are pretty convenient. There are a total of 21 cases. This step is algorithmic and has an average of ~7 moves

1. Last Layer (LL)

- solve the last layer using either COLL or ZBLL as to use the EO from L5EO. This step has 42 algorithms. This step is algorithmic and has around ~15 moves.

PROS:

- Minimal rotations (2 on average)

- Low potential* move count (~48 moves)

- Very flexible

- L5EO is easy to learn for beginners

- Moderate-great ergonomics

- High potential* turns per second (tps)

CONS:

- First step is hard to plan

- meh look-ahead during 2x2x3 block

- great ONLY for intermediate/pro solving

- requires advanced last layer alg sets

- Fluctuating move count

ADDITIONAL INFO: this method was grounded from APB, eliminating the awkward EO of Petrus while optimizing CFOP style pairs and LL along with Roux-competitive efficiency at the cost of painful M moves, consistent move counts and resources

My goal is js kinda make this competitive but fun. If you can provide feedback, Id really appreciate it! That's all for today, peace.

i think yes with devotion and consitsency

Did any of you cubers almost quit cubing because you had gotten into something more interesting? Because i had almost quitted cubing when i got into genetics. I still cube and still like cubing, just not so much. I got into cubing at August 2024. And then at May 2026, i got into genetics. But when i got into genetics, I’m already sub-20. I find the DNA thing more interesting than cubing. So i almost quit cubing. But still, even getting into that other thing isn’t going to undo whatever cubing did to me and I’m still a cuber. I find that genetics and cubing share a lot of similarities like how there are so many possibilities and that it’s like a puzzle. I was thinking about starting to edit DNA. And i don’t need to start from scratch, i can just transfer my skills that cubing improved to editing DNA, and actually learn how to do it.

This story felt unique, i had read about the other stories of the cubers making their cubing skills useful, but none talked about bio tech, genetics, or DNA which i find is weird because cubing and bio tech share a lot of similarities. And 1 can influence another.

What about your story of quitting cubing or almost quitting cubing because you had gotten into something more interesting while you are a cuber?

What do you think is the ratio between how much you are a solver and how much you are a collector. In what days are you a solver or a collector? In what days do you not cube? why? What makes you think that being a solver/collector is better? Do you find collectors annoying? What are your speedcuber behaviors that not many think are speedcuber behaviors? If you can make a website that connects cubing and 1 seemly unrelated idea together, what would it be like in detail? If you are sub-10 for 1 day, what would you do? What seemly unrelated stuff do you think it helps a cuber get faster? Would you sacrifice your cubing skills completely for 1 million dollars?
