Cool so how would that work?

a b a' b'

a b a' b'

What parts of the puzzle do I turn for a and b

What parts of the puzzle do I turn

The tips and the faces.

[Michael Womack]

The tips and the faces.

Is a the face turns or b?

Is there a way I can use U2 for + centers on a 5x5 BLD? I currently can solve 4BLD using U2 centers. I know I should learn comms, but as of right now I am lazy.

Yes, I also use U2 for 5BLD - I just can't do 5BLD because of my poor memo.

Slot: Ur
Default target: Ul

A few examples for setups (do Setup U2 Setup' for solving):
Fl: E l E' l'
Fr: l' E2 l
Fu: y M u' M' y'
Fd: y' M d' M' y

Dl: l B2 E2 B2 l'
D*: setup to Dl with some D move

Ub and Uf:
r' E' r U r' E r U r' E' r U2 r' E r U2
or
r' E' r U' r' E r U' r' E' r U2 r' E r U2
Depends on the ordinal numbers of the targets. Use the first one for Ub if it is the first, third, etc. target, and also the first one if Uf is the second, fourth, etc. target. Other: the second alg.

Parity: U2

I think you can figure out the rests based on these.
