3.69 Pyraminx Average of 5

I honestly have no idea what method I use anymore. I think it's oka. I put two edges around a tip (most of the time) and then try to solve the last edge and the bottom centers at the same time (this normally doesn't happen at the same time though). Then I have a three cycle or a two flip on the bottom. The cube is a QJ and it has taken almost a year to actually break in. It's so hard to get a cube with decent tips.

I think that's WO. It's step 2 and 3 of Keyhole merged together.

WO is a basic method, so no.
It's just keyhole with applied tricks

I thought keyhole was:
1) 2 edges around a tip
2) Centers
3) Back edge
4) L3E

WO is:
1) 2 edges around a tip
2) Centers + back edge
3) L3E

Unless merging step 2+3 is one of the tricks you're talking about, which it must be.

I think the second method is OKA

I think the second method is OKA

Oh yes... According to this, it does sound like Oka.

[Ickenicke]

Yes, and WO is:

1:top
2: centers
3: edges

[Odder]

Oka is not solving 2 edges in the beginning, it's like semi solving two edges, and then like keyhole, but when you solve the "last" edge, you just replace with the first misplaced top-edge, which only requires 3 moves instead of the normal 4 moves

How do you do tips so fast? Do you remember the tips from inspection?

Yeah! I either do that or the two edges then keyhole and last edge thing. Whatever I can see from the beginning is normally what I go with. I just became CN too after Cornell Spring competition.

I try to do the top tip and one of the bottom ones first. That leaves me with two or fewer tips to solve on the bottom, which I recognize when I get to the last layer and solve during the last alg or at the very end. Sometimes I solve some during the keyhole part if it's convenient.

Pyraminx is a fun and easy puzzle Idk annotations or what method I use, i jsut looked up a random tutorial and learned it
