    Is there a 'how to' thread on solving the cross on a 3x3x3 quicker?

    Probably.
    But there are many little things you will discover... Over time.
    One of them I posted in the one question answer thread.
    (a^b)^c = a^(b c) e^(2 i pi c floor(1/2-(Im(b log(a)))/(2 pi)))
    I've been cubing for only just over 2 years and I feel old already

    It's called a Rouxbick's Cube for a reason...
    I'm going to try and post less frequently in the next couple of months...

    I'd sort of like "An Intro to Puzzle Theory." I've always been interested in that section of speedcubing, but whenever I visit their section of the forum, I'm just totally lost by all their terminology and can't understand a word they're saying.

    One for getting fast at feet solving please.
    I use FreeFOP and average 4 mins... But my toe tricks are very strange. I do U/Uw/D moves only and rotate...

    I would like a non-youtube tutorial on how to get faster at cross too... However I have the feeling the only way to improve is to practice it. Three ways to practice it:
    - simply solve the cross again and again (easiest way but a bit boring and does not improve fast)
    - inspect and then solve the cross blindfold (I am practicing it now and I think it helps to look ahead the first F2L pair as you do the cross without looking at it after the training)
    - begin with a 2x2x2 block all the time and only after that finish the cross (the aim is to get good at extended cross but I cannot judge this idea myself as I have not tested it yet... focussing on point 2 for now)

    I want a tutorial for how to recognize OLL (or COLL) cases on bump cube.

    You know OLL is done when the top layer is flat and you just see what's solved/not solved and what matches/don't match to figure out which PLL it is.
