OH PLLs I used.

One of my specialization when it comes to Rubik's cube speedcubing is solving it through one-hand. After I started to learn how to solve the cube at around sub 50 seconds I began solving it with my one hand. It's quite difficult for me to adjust with the cube, and it really really hurts! It made me confused also whether or not to use my right hand or left hand. I decided to go with my right since I'm comfortable with it. Most of the speedcubers uses left hand, but not to mention some of the  former world  record holders like Piti Pichedpan and Dan Dzoan uses right hand. 

I've joined several speedcubing competitions here in Cebu, Philippines. One of it was the Cebu Open 2010. I was with my girlfriend, Charmaine, which now is my fiancee. She's been my inspiration. I won 3rd place in that competition on one-hand. I got an average sub 25 seconds that time. Now, I still wanted to push through to sub 20, but it's quite a difficult thing to do. I'm now on my sub 23 seconds. 

Here's a video from my youtube account, which I think would greatly help you guys who started practicing with your right hand. I hope I could help you go faster. Here's the PLLs (permuting the last layer) I used on most of my solves. Thank you for watching!

Feliks Zemdegs four incredible WR @ Kubaroo Open!

              Feliks Zemdegs, a 16 year old speedcuber, known for his world records since last year has had it again. Held at Melbourne Australia, this super fast Feliks set a new World Record for the single solve of the Rubiks cube which is 6.24 seconds. He beat his own record which is 6.65 seconds and hasn't yet been updated at the world cube association website, 'cause this incredible solve just happened now, May 7, 2011. I'm not surprised about this kid owning a bunch of records in the speedcubing world, cause he's the MASTER and fast rules!

According to his video description on youtube he uses LUBIX GUHONG here's a link to this cube http://www.lubixcube.com. As you can see in the video he's lucky enough to have a PLL (permuting the last layer) skip. Finally Feliks got a PLL skip! Next thing I can do for now is to wait for his first sub 6 solve.                      

                                                            

                                                   

"Is that it???"

He recently uploaded a video, and this one is another world record now in OH (one handed solve), in 11.16 stunning seconds! Great! Feliks is owning again!

He beat his own world record again with a time of 14.41 seconds average for OH. On the 3rd solve he still got it to sub 15 even if the cube got fell off the ground. Isn't he amazing? Here are his times: 14.41 14.30 14.77 (17.31) (13.77) with an average of 14.41 seconds taking out the fastest and slowest solve.

Just few weeks ago, one of the fastest speedcuber Sebastian Weyer sets a new world record for the single solve of the 4x4 with a time of 31.66 seconds. That world record didn't last long, because a week after that Feliks beat him with 31.05 at the Kubaroo open. It was a smooth solve for him, I guess he's now getting used to this. I guess Sebastian is not surprised too about the news, I bet he's expecting this one.

Rubik's cube plus speed equals speedcubing!

I guess everybody knows already what those pictures above called. Yes, it's a Rubik's cube. Rubik's cube was invented by a Hungarian Professor named Erno Rubik. So the name of that cube was derived from his family name. Rubik's cube comes with 6 different colors: with white on base, and yellow on top, green front, right orange, back blue, and red left. These color patterns are standards. Sometimes there's also a Japanese scheme commonly used by Japanese cubers. Rubik's cube comes with different varieties from 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4, 5x5x5, 6x6x6, 7x7x7 and the recent 11x11x11.

Speedcubing is a hobby or a sport wherein a person solves the cube as quickly as possible. It is sanctioned by the World Cube Association or WCA as an official Rubik's cube competition. Their website http://worldcubeassociation.org shows info of the competitions, rankings, multimedia and statistics. So, speedcubers always aim to be on top of the list. Most world records were own by an Australian speedcuber Feliks Zemdegs who is 16 years old. To further know about him here's his profile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feliks_Zemdegs.

I'm also a speedcuber in the Philippines, I started joining competitions since 2008. Now I got awards from my 2x2x2 solves, one handed Rubik's solve and pyraminx solves. To provide some proof here's my WCA account http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2008REMO01. In the future, I'm going to make tutorials and tips. I'll connect some links from my youtube account to this blog. Anyways see ya around!
