@ProgramFOX my rubiks cube looks almost exactly like yours, except the middle pieces are circular rather than rounded squares
ProgramFOX
@angussidney Cool, what brand is it?
angussidney
@ProgramFOX guo guan
@ProgramFOX I assume you speedcube? If so, what's your best time?
ProgramFOX
@angussidney Best is 28.6 sec, but I haven't trained for over a year.
And you?
angussidney
Wow, I can only get 36.something
Glorfindel
Wow, I can't solve a Rubix cube at all.

@Glorfindel It takes time, dedication, lots of practise and remembering :)
ProgramFOX
That's not bad either :) I had a goal of sub-25 but then I kinda stopped cubing and started playing more chess... I should start again.
angussidney
I haven't solved a standard cube in a while now, but I've recently tried solving a mirror cube - boy they are confusing
ProgramFOX
A mirror cube?
ah, those silver strangely-formed cubes
angussidney
ProgramFOX
That looks terribly confusing indeed. :P
huh, I just did a 28.7!
apparently the lack of training wasn't
that
bad
I just forgot most of the OLL and PLL stuff I ever learnt

10:38 AM
I wonder if there's a cubing chatroom somewhere? I'm sure these guys are getting bored by our cubing chat :)
ProgramFOX
hmm... would the Puzzling chatroom be appropriate for that?
angussidney
This is probably a bit better

There we go
angussidney
I was just about to do that
ProgramFOX
Do you have a Square-1 by the way? I have one and never managed to solve it
Although I guess I can blame my terrible English when I got it so I couldn't look up a decent guide :P
angussidney
10:42 AM
No, never head of them actually
ProgramFOX
angussidney
So what method do you use? Standard CFOP or?
ProgramFOX
Yeah, but with two-step OLL and PLL. I haven't learned the algorithms for one-step OLL and PLL, and I forgot the few ones that I learned :P
angussidney
I do cross, corners, second layer, two-step OLL then 1 step PLL
I'm working on doing F2L in one step
ProgramFOX
Cross + F2L gives a significant time improvement once you get used to it
angussidney
10:51 AM
White on bottom I assume?
ProgramFOX
yeah
