Today, we’re excited to write about how each of our staff members solved a particular scramble. Globally, I think a sub 5.5 average of 100 is possible way way down the track, if there are enough cubers pushing and challenging one another to achieve it. Let me know what you guys think about the limits of speedcubing! There are some variants of ZZ that are emerging that give you some incredible advantages, such as 1LLL's under 200 algs, and other stuff. hey feliks, do you think eventually everyones SD cards will run out and the WCA will fall into chaos and anarchy due to the lack of evidence of records? Breakdown of Max's 4.92 Rubik's Cube Average (YouTube UWR) LaZer0MonKey. 'I also predict that the world record average will be sub-6 by the end of 2018." I'm sure there are cubers in almost all the mentioned professions. A question I have for readers is, do you think it is realistically possible to achieve the same TPS (STM) in a Roux solve as opposed to a CFOP solve, and why or why not? Daniel - cheers for the predictions! Spring swapped YuXin barely corner cuts, WeiShi is big and quite slow (Spring swapped WeiShi is awesome, I used KungFu 4x4 springs in mine), WuHua feels a bit tight and I can get pops on it. I have held a number of Rubik's Cube records, including the former 2x2 and 3x3 world records. I have noticed that world records generally have half cross +F2L and half OLL+PLL so if someone could get a sub-2 cross+F2L in a solve and a sub3 regularly then if they learn 1LLL then it is definitely possible for sub 5 averages however it requires near-instant recognition out of 3668 cases which would not be easy but possible. You can also find out who is Lucas Etter dating now and celebrity dating histories at CelebsCouples. Lucas Etter’s age is 19. He began speedcubing in 2011 and created his thelucascube YouTube channel in December of 2013. I recently looked into roux and zz, because i never did before. Of course, these factors are going to be unique for all the people. Official webpage of Qiyi Mofangge Cube on Facebook . Hi feliks how to increase the achievement of 3 × 3. On move count, that’s an entirely different story. More like June 2017! There is also an entirely separate debate on the advantages and disadvantages of CFOP and the Roux method. It's like scientific research. Shared 1 month ago. 188K views 24:34. We will continue to update information on Lucas Etter’s parents. We can then incorporate all these parameters into a nice, decent and efficient computer program. – Who’s the richest YouTuber in the world? This is based on both experience and observation - at the end of the day, there are physical restrictions to turning speed. But it takes even a supercomputer quite some time to check all the cases for the 3*3, forget the larger cubes. It's up to you! I’ve also assumed near-perfect lookahead in this 11-12 TPS number, which I believe is definitely possible. If undertaken, I would be one of the first to participate. What times are possible on different sized cubes and other events? I also think there are some areas that should be tried in 4x4, like making 61mm or 59mm cubes. History has been a witness that some of the biggest and most important principles of science were built on some basic ideas discovered by less-known people. We would even need funding for the project. Lucas Etter’s mother’s name is unknown at this time and his father’s name is under review. I'm probably going on a big tangent with this as yau5 is like very different to yau on 4x4, but I was just wondering : ). Also, can you reach 13.4 or 12.35 TPS on any SpeedCube? Scramble : R2 B D2 F2 U2 R D2 L B L B D R F U B2 F L. Reconstruction : z2 inspection D L R F R D2 cross U2 L U L 1st pair U U U F U F U R U R 2nd pair y R U R 3rd pair U y U U R U R 4th pair U r U r R U R U r U r OLL CP Serait-i.. In my opinion, the upper limit for turning speed is probably 11-12 TPS on average with the CFOP method and its accompanying subsets and variants. To check all the staggering number of permutations, we would definitely need a supercomputer. I think that YOU will be the first speedcuber, which will do sub 6 ao 5 on 3x3 in WCA. I guess I'll just have to try them out... Also it's so weird that CFOP is just so evolved compared to other methods. Hi Feliks, well do you've some old videos of yours showing you solve the cube with sub 50-sub 45 averages?? Le quan Tran Posted 3 years ago. MoYu Cube homepage in spanish!!! Any improvements now will probably be very marginal. Speedcubers have always found a way to break barriers which were previously believed to be unbeatable. Perhaps, but it's better to get your turning style smoother on a non-magnetic cube first :). The police must have heard that and come to arrest you Lucas. Country WCA ID Gender Competitions Completed Solves; United States: 2011ETTE01: Male: 58: 3241 ), You predicted a lot of your own records here:"WR average will be sub 6 by the end of 2018" - Yes, you in June 2017, "5x5: A sub 40 single is possible (perhaps imminent!)" There will be a sub 4  because in reality humans can be fast about it. The education details are not available at this time. This is due to some similar trends I have observed as well as my own experience. 3.) I think yes, but it's probably on the edge. Facebook, Twitter, Ebay, and YouTube were founded. Sub-6 3x3 avg by the end of 2018? That is, efficient solutions for solving the cube are often difficult to execute at a high speed. Like many famous people and celebrities, Lucas Etter keeps his personal life private. Feliks should I learn X cross if i average 18 seconds. I use CFOP (avg 16-17). It will remain prestigious and never get silly like the 2x2 single, but I believe that one day it will be virtually unbeatable. Lucas Etter - 1.51 2x2 Official World Record Average! As WCA has been the official authority for regulation of competitions, we can have a unique authority into this matter. Become a free member to post a comment about this blog. MoYu Cube Espanol. Can you help us with the correct approach of publishing a discovery? (There are only 2 8x8s really, but ShengShou 8 was well received in its time, better than the ShengShou 6, and YuXin 8 has been said to be the "Best of the HuangLongs"). 2.) He has posted a number of solves, unboxings, walkthroughs and other Rubik’s Cube content on YouTube. The solution video is … Once more details are available on who he is dating, we will update this section. Avinash, I suggest taking it one color at a time. That was so fast TPS. Also, Feliks, you should make a blind solving and a 2x2 module. Voice your opinion. Anything could happen. That sort of thing would require a ton of dedication, are you up for it? Lucas Etter was born on the 7th of July, 2001. Leo vs Lucas - Monkey League S2 R3. In my opinion, the methods have similar overall potential - it would have been interesting to see a speedcubing community evolve in which the majority of members used the Roux method. 4x4: Sub 20 in the near future, by Feliks or Max Park. I’ll begin with the standard 3x3 cube. On the efficiency side of the board, I have an idea that might pay out well, but will definitely take a lot of time and effort. The cubing hardware ist still frequently improving and there are many upcoming functions which can improve the times. Feliks i hope that you can beat SeungBeom Cho's world record! Does that make CFOP faster? Then we can run the simulations. There are some universities which indeed do this. LaZer0MonKey. I have some ideas and have seen some 7x7 mechanisms that have yet to be used on 6x6, and are definitely possible to convert to even-layered cube. :D. When do you think cubing will die out completely? We can then even look out to different methods of speedsolving. Lucas Etter had many sub 5 singles at home (they are on his YouTube channel lucascubes) and has great look ahead along with amazing tps. - Yes, you in July 2017, "... as well as averages below 45 seconds." For CFOP, hypothetical average TPS of 11-12 and average move counts in the low 50s suggest the potential for global averages around the 5 second mark. The 19-year-old American youtuber has done well thus far. People born under this sign are often seen as humorous and gifted in literature and art. Do you think is it possible to find a better method than CFOP? The official single world record for 3x3 will eventually become scramble-dependent. Of course, it’s possible to achieve higher TPS on individual solves if the solution is rotationless, finger-friendly, or easy to execute in any other way. Clock and feet may still have room for improve those some people are getting really fast. Mats Valk (20 years old) is a Dutch speedcuber who's best known for breaking the 3x3 single world record (5.55). It sounds a bit pessimistic, but I don’t believe there is anything that can revolutionise CFOP solve times in the way that things such as ZBLL, COLL, OLLCP, WV, VLS, and other subsets have done. Improvement in the early years of the graph can be put down to improvements in hardware and methods, and now the gradient of the graph is gradually flattening out. And in five years these predication will be laughed at. Hey Feliks can you make a complete oll sheet. Feliks iam new to this website.I have a question that is the cube you use really matter? 2x2: We've probably already hit the limit for single if we're being honest, unless Moyu or Gan or Qiyi releases something revolutionary that Lucas or Feliks buys, then goes to a competition on the exact day that a computer algorithm will beat the odds 1 gazillion:1, and beat 0.49 with a 4 move R U R' U'. CFOP has a higher standard deviation than Roux, so fast singles are more likely. A Quantum Computer can solve this problem. Probably only Feliks himself could get sub 1 hour on a 17x17 Diptoneel De. Make sure you scramble green front, white top if you want to follow along exactly. The 19-year-old youtuber was born in Kentucky, United States. Le nouveau WR 4.90 . Maybe a hundred years from now, Speedcubers would make a method that's 30 moves or less. Personal Life. the ultimate method that will be created in the future will be called God's Method. - Almost there, 45.64 in October 2017, "7x7: Someone will get an unofficial sub 2 single in the next 12 months or so" - Yes, you in July 2017, ^Heh, and this was only posted 5 months ago! Also it will be the method of choice for big cubers for a while back, Roux: In my opinion, a perfect world where 50% of the people in the world used Roux and 50% used CFOP, WR single would be with CFOP and WR average with Roux. Currently I can name a possible problem with every 6x6 out there, including the "big three". I want to do speedsolve with color neutrality like you , please give some tips on my problem on color neutrality. Majority of Lucas’s money comes from being a youtuber. I spent roughly one minute of filming per PLL algorithm. My cuber friends, I hope that we do start such a platform, so that even the smallest discoveries can be studied by the experienced cubers. Us cubers see these “specials” as inspiration, motivation to keep cubing and to achieve world-class speedsolve times. Hey Feliks do you think a sub 28 in megaminx possible  , And what are your predictions on 2×2 WR , it is tough to break as it is in milliseconds 0.49. This is the 4.90 3x3 Rubik's Cube world record (former) set by Lucas Etter. There also exists a massive trade-off between TPS and move count. Lucas Etter has a sub 1 ao5 on 2x2 At home. U are best and u should get it. I really need help I will be going to a completion with Patrick ponce in a few months, hey, I somebody help. Records are still broken extremely frequently in WCA competitions, and I think that there will come a time (in the distant future) when the focus becomes less on records, and more so on winning major competitions and titles, as is the case in many other sports/competitive hobbies which have a far longer history than speedcubing. Are we almost there, or is there still a way to go? Samuel - I certainly agree, my 6x6 is very tight and I think better hardware could easily drop my times some more. Should I focus on only a few events or only focus on 2-3 events that I want to get serious about? 441 mentions J’aime. For example, a 60 move solution executed at 10 turns per second (TPS) will yield a 6 second solve, and a 40 move solution executed at 8 TPS will take 5 seconds. We then need data about how our fingers exactly behave when they turn the cube. 763 likes. So this was slightly lower TPS, lower movecount than the other solves due to the processing required for the 2nd and 3rd F2L pairs, as well as recognition of the OLS case. Do you think there will ever be a sub-1 average in 2x2? Once more details are available on who he is dating, we will update this section. improvement is definitely slowing down but for the less popular events they have more room to improve. Additionally, looking and thinking ahead also becomes far harder as solutions become shorter, as generally these solutions require more active thinking during a solve. Lucas Etter had many sub 5 singles at home (they are on his YouTube channel lucascubes) and has great look ahead along with amazing tps. Maybe we can perform simulations on a computer, to find an estimate of limits of speed cubing. Roux generally has a much higher consistency than CFOP, which is shown in this example: Kian and Feliks have similar averages, however Kian can count the amout of 4's on both his fingers when Feliks gets them very often. A speedsolve has two determinants - move count, and turning speed. I’m not sure if we’ll ever see a sub 5 average in competition, but sub 5.5 will definitely happen, my guess is before 2020. I might write up a blog post at some other time about the evolution of hardware for big cubes, and significant milestones and events in those events, as I believe it's very interesting. Please can you provide me the pdf of how to solve 3x3 cube using roux method and zz method please. And what are your PB's at home for all the events 2-7? We're a long way off 11 TPS. This, if undertaken, would be a massive project. Shared 1 month ago. Congratulations to him, probably feels pretty nice to break the 3×3 single a couple weeks after taking the 2×2 average wr. Of course, we can have multiple local platforms as well, which would organise their work with a main authority. Ideally, a speedsolve should be entirely subconscious and automatic. He is also the former world record holder on the 4x4 cube single and average of 5 solves. Not really that motivating, he's just really fast! However, I still think there’s a lot of room for improvement in the lookahead of even the top speedcubers, particularly in early F2L pairs, and especially for the recognition of last layer cases. Lucas Etter had many sub 5 singles at home (they are on his YouTube channel lucascubes) and has great look ahead along with amazing tps. That's still very possible with only one cross colour. Now, sub 40 is possible. Maybe you could do a post about other methods and your experience with them..? Very nice article and interesting thougts! We would need mathematicians, biologists, neurologists, computer scientists, expert programmers, expert cubers, ..., and participation of a lot of common people. Then someone could analyze these solves and try to recreate this kind of 'mindset' that the program has adopted and base their solves on that. I think the method has similar, if not more potential than standard reduction. The nxn ones look quite good, perhaps the 7x7 average is a bit conservative though :), Purva - I think this sort of thing naturally occurs within the speedcubing community, it's hard to see some sort of official research group being formed :p, Shubham - I've heard good things about the Qiyi and the KungFu, Tien - Interesting prediction! My idea is to have a learning program (I don't remember the actual term for it) analyze a billion or so optimal solves from random WCA scrambles, and then have it perform further training via virtual cubes. © 2020 Oview Digital. This page is updated often with latest details about Lucas Etter. As far as hardware limits go, I think a lot can be done for 6x6. When I began speedcubing, a sub 1 5x5 single was considered almost impossible. Time will tell - it might take decades for someone to actually achieve this. Huge shoutout to Kennnan L. or Kennan Lejeune (https://www.youtube.com/user/kennanlejeune) for couting the frames! Shared 1 month ago. The 2000s is the decade of growth of the Internet and the beginning of social media. Lucas Etter’s mother’s name is unknown at this time and his father’s name is under review. 6x6: As the cubes get bigger, it's harder to make accurate predictions. Many are into (unofficial) research into cubes. One day there will be a "master-method", which will be used by every top cuber and will enable cubers to reach move counts round about 30. He was sponsored by TheCubicle and Moyu. Lucas Etter’s birth sign is Cancer and he has a ruling planet of Moon. Nevermind I have a 19 second average now. Throwing out some wild guesses for other events: 4x4: A lucky single around 16-17 seconds will eventually be achieved, and averages will peak at 21 seconds or so. Any scientists into Quantum Computing out there? My cuber friends, give us more parameters. Again, it comes back to the trade-off between move count and TPS - if we accept that Roux solutions are more sophisticated/complicated and potentially require more lookahead ability, then all things being equal, the TPS of those solves will likely be lower.
