How to do this? <br><br>Again solving with cross on bottom:<br><br>Situation: Target slots are RF. Pair is "connected on top" directly above target, with ...
I recently started solving F2L with cross on bottom. I'm still having problems finding the cube pairs quickly. All advice so far has been excellent, ...
I think it's definitely helpful to know how each move affects the cube, although I'd be impressed if anyone could actually implement this technique without ...
I had an idea that I think would, if not get under 10, would get pretty close. What if you were to study all of the first two layer algorithms so that you knew...
The easiest way is to memorize it one way and just <br>flip it in your mind when you "play it back", rather than trying to memorize algorithms twice or <br>try...
Okay, I'm giving up completely on Lars' method (sorry) so, I'm going to need help on reflections. I decided to learn Jiri's reflecting guide (Fa and Fs etc ...
I used to use a method very similar to the one you're using now.<br><br>Depending on what you want your times to get down to there are different things you can...
Hi, my name is Adam, and I'm a cubaholic. Anyway, I recently picked up a cube, looked up Jiri and Lars' sites, and started cubing. By the time I could do it...
In regards to slowcuber's question:<br>Yes! I know exactly what you mean about always using the front right as your target slot. When your new target slot is...
I agree with the comments of cubin4speed. I started out forming the cross on top and keeping it there while finishing the F2L. Main problem was finding the ...
I solve with the F2L on the bottom and I like it.<br><br>My impression is that you can be comfortable and fast using any orientation of the cube once you get ...
I know a that there are people who do the first two layers holding the cube so that the cross is on the bottom so this isn't new I know. I've started doing the...
Hi SW1,<br><br>The rotating cube is a Java applet.<br>I suppose you have Internet Explorer. If you save the page using Internet Explorer's menu option "Save ...
here are some of my thoughts on the<br>Orientation case:<br><br>learning the orientations is like programming a good application. Design is a key element. I ...
I found that the easiest way for me to learn the moves was to print out Jiri's move list and to just go down the list move by move and check them off on the ...
The address of my web page was not entered correctly in my previous reply. You should remove the closing "." in the URL.<br>I added my link to our club ...
Thanks for the ideas on this, and on the empty slots, I appreciate it. I look forward to your website; right now I couldn't get the pictures up, not done yet? ...
There are 40 different cases of orientation in the top layer. But if you include the cases which can be formed by mirroring one of the 40 cases, then there are...
Well I had better show you a picture. So please go to a part of my home page to be: <a href=http://members1.chello.nl/~r.vanbruchem/corners1_edges2.html....
I'm also curious as to how people first started memorizing the orientations. Did you draw them up to make them most efficient for your hands, and then...
How do you take advantage of empty slots to put pieces together before placing them, as a few of you have referred? I know it's probably hard to explain and...
There's not one answer.<br>Cubin4speed keeps the cross at the bottom.<br>Some other very fast cubists (below 20 secs average) keep the cross at the left, half ...
I started out placing the cross on top, and then solving top layers while holding cross on top. It was hard to find the next pair of cubes that way. I am now ...
I was thinking that it would be cool if we could set up an averages board that people could post their averages to. I think that this would be a pretty cool ...
