The SMOOTHEST Big Cube Solver | Emmanuel Kao

Yeah, okay, so with your, I'm assuming this is 6x6 or 7x7, because like 5x5 center efficiency kind of is limited.

So on a 6x6 solve, let's start with 6, what percentage of the time are you solving one 1x4 block at a time versus doing some sort of block building solution, do you think? Hmm...

Oh, so you mean like not

building, you mean like building a 2x2?

Building 2x2s, 2x4s, that sort of thing.

Or is the efficiency that you're talking about mostly around doing 1x4 blocks one at a time better? There's

some cases where she'll give me good tips for building blocks.

And I think it's a 50-50 split because, I mean, there's not much you can do for bars, I think.

But for blocks, it's like much more interesting in my opinion.

Yes.

Yeah.

So how often do you bias toward those more complex solutions?

For now, I'm not really doing much complex things.

A lot of the more efficient things I'm doing is just cancellations into next steps.

So like R2 primes versus R2, that type of thing.

So instead of doing an R and an R, I'll just do R2 straight away.

then yes like into the next step if it if i already know what i'm going to be doing which is most of the time then i'll just cancel into that and i would say yeah so for now i'm not really leaning into complex efficient stuff i'm just doing simple sometimes block building if it's really easy but most of the time it's actually bars I would say I also use the...

Okay.

You know the T way of forming bars? Yes.

Like, you go to...

Yeah.

Yes.

So, I would say that's very helpful.

So, yeah.

But especially on last two centers, I do...
