Speedcubing Sites
|
| The Unofficial World Record, Algorithms, and more! Simply the best speedcubing site around. |
| Includes official ranking and announcements. | |
| [J] The biggest Japanese cubing site. Amazing RNC (real no cut) 12-cube average videos and 21 PLL excution
video. | |
| Cube site of one of the fastest cubers in the world. He is also a master of Square-1. Very good last layer algorithms. | |
| Leyan's Lo's site. A great resource for optimized last layer algorithms. | |
| [J/E] Masayuki Akimoto is the 2003 World Champion for 4x4x4 and 5x5x5. His site includes a description of CLL/ELL and his original approach for big cubes. | |
| Jessica Fridrich is the inventor of the most popular method in speedcubing. Check out her great cubing tips! | |
| One of the best last layer site. | |
| A rather entertaining site by Frrrench cuber Gilles Roux. Check out his interesting method! | |
| Andy Camann's speedcubing page with many sets of algorithms, including RH last layer! | |
| Fantastic tips on speedcubing + the blindfold cubing page that I love. This page shows the cycle method for solving a cube blindfolded. | |
| Check out Jess's great speedcubing timer! He also has a video for every last layer algorithm. | |
| Explanation of ZB method, a highly advanced LBL method that allows you to solve the last layer in one algorithm. | |
| [J/E] Japan's first speedcubing site. Includes a ranking on weekly JSCC contest. | |
| [J] Taka is a talented speedcuber who improved very fast in a very short period of time. Check out his insane
FSC videos. | |
| Robert Smith's Speedcubing Page! | |
| [J]< /b> Tetsu's speedcubing page with cool videos! | |
| [J] Japanese speedcubing site with L-cross F2L algorithms, and many interesting sets of algorithms for possible
LBL methods. | |
| [J ] Red Dragon's Puzzle Page with awesome finger tricks for LL! | |
| Daniel Harris is the UK National Champ. This is his cubing page and the home of FMC. Check out the VH-system, invented by him and Lars! | |
| Stefan's the world record holder of Rubik's Magic and Rubik's Clock. He also does blindfold cubing big puzzles! Lots of fun stuff, and awesome info on speedsolving Clock and Magic! | |
| Brent Morgan's awesome cubing site. | |
| A nice list of very fast LL algorithms, plus a very fast solution to pyraminx! | |
| Includes a list of his algorithms for Fridrich and a nice beginner's guide to speedcubing. | |
| Chris Hunt's site has speedcubing videos of all types. An amazing database. | |
| By San Diego cuber Kevin Lo. | |
| Beginner's guide. |
Speedcubing Clubs and Forums
| Join. Ask questions. Don't be stupid. | |
| A relatively new speedcubing forum. This is a phpBB unlike the Yahoo! forum. | |
| [J] Japanese forum on speedcubing. | |
| [G] German version of Yahoo forum. | |
| Yahoo group on blindfold cubing. We tend to be very quiet.... | |
| Caltech Cube Club has been the center of speedcubing competitions since 2004. There are infos on future
tournaments, tournament results, etc. | |
Cube Applets
| Ryan Heise's applet. Moves are assigned to the keyboard in a natural way. Pretty much the greatest applet ever. | <
/tr>
| David Barr's
page has a nice applet for 2x2x2 up to 30x30x30. Easy to handle, but can be hard to visualize. |
| GabbaSoft is currently
developing a PC application for many twisty puzzles. The free cube demo works for 2x2x2 up to 9x9x9 and includes a timer and
automatic scrambler. The graphic is very nice! | |
Online Cubing Contests
| Organized by Jon Morris. Winner wins a set of stickers from Cubesmith! |
| Weekly
contest for 2x2x2-4x4x4 organized by Raul Garcia |
| Weekly contest for blindfold cubing, organized by Chris Hardwick. | |
Stickers/Pieces
|
| Chris has awesome stickers for a lot of puzzles. Quick shipping! |
Other 3D Puzzles
| Solutions for all kinds of puzzles. Great Stuff! | |
| The webmaster sells cool puzzles like mental block, 5 layer square-1, etc. *drools* | |
| Awesome collection of cool-looking hand-made puzzles. Sold at request. |
Cube Tools
| Java program that finds solution to given configurations, even partially. It has no GUI, so the command is a bit tedious, but you make it fix the orientation of a particular piece, etc, which makes it very varsatile in its use. Also, by restricting certain moves, you can find algs that can be used on cuboids. Powerful tool for anyone looking for useful algs. (It is said that 4x4x4 version is in development.) | |
| Nice program to find solutions, even for partially defined cases. | |
| Using this program, you can instantly find near-optimal solutions to any pattern. The current version also supports
webcams, which allows it to solve a cube without inputting the facelets by hand. Sweet! Explanation of the two-phase
algorithm used to find solutions is pretty interesting, too. | |
| This page lets you select the number of scrambles, number of moves per scramble, type of puzzle, and shows the
resulting puzzle in color scheme of your choice. | |
| This page lets you select the number of scrambles, and number of moves per scramble. It also loads much faster than Jaap's scrambler. | |
| Scriptable applet for 5x5x5 developed by Markus Pirzer. | |
| Chris Hunt's tool for mirroring and inverting algorithms along various planes of reflection. Very useful tool,
especially if you're left-handed! | |
| Josef Jelinek developed a very useful and flexible applet for 3x3x3. |
Official Record List
| Official Record List by the REKORD-KLUB SAXONIA |
Algorithms
| This is where I go to get algorithms for new methods in mind. Very useful site for people with new ideas, although I
always feel that the inverses should be listed. | |
Where to Get Puzzles
|
| is the official site of Rubik's Cube. You can buy Cubes, stickers, grease, etc. in the shop. |
| has cool puzzles for sale. |
