Okay, when teaching someone to solve the cube, what do you think is best? If you could explain to someone all the notation and what not, do you think it would be better to start off learning Fridrich? I used many beginners methods to put together a small guide to help me solve it, but if I would have started with Fridrich, it seems that you would have it done faster. Not that being fast is key, but it might be a good thing to try to teach someone. Then again, using the beginners method and then switching gives you a better idea of how the cube works.
