    Smile Late intro

    Hi!

    I'm Brandon and I guess I started cubing in 3rd grade, when my brother taught me the beginner's method. I think I was probably at 1:30 at best, but after like 4th grade I kind of stopped playing with it. Around August 2011 (now I'm 7th grade) , I heard about speedcubing and bought an F-II (should've gotten a Dayan cube), learned CFOP and 2 look OLL and PLL, and today my times are around 23ish average with my Zhanchi that I recently purchased. I plan to go to the New Albany Open since I live right nearby, which would be my first competition. Thanks for taking a look!

    I still use CFOP with two look oll/pll, but I'm trying to learn full PLL and maybe full OLL also. I plan to learn old pochmann for BLD solving afterwards.

    You are correct, 2 look last layer (2LLL) is full OLL and full PLL. 4 look LL means 2 steps for each of OLL and PLL.

    It doesnt mean its OLL and PLL. It could be CLL/ELL, COLL/EPLL, LLE/L4C. Don't confuse new members like that.

    Edit: I need to actually read my post before I do.
