Normal to be slower after learning CLL for 2x2? recog + recall

[cubersmith]

You'd probably know better than me, but I think its natural to be slower for a short period of time after learning any method.

(Talking about ZZ EOLine)
Is there any alg for tricky cases, like when there are 4 bad edges on the M, S or E slice? (I'm just interested in orientig edges, not in making the line at the same time)

I would do something like...F B M' U M2 D M
BUT, that doesn't work.
U R2 D U M' U M

For some right handed person:
Which of these is fastest?
(U2 D) M U2 M U M U2 M D' M2 D' M2
(U2 D) M D2 M' U M' D2 M D' M2 D' M2
(U2) M2 D' M2 D' M' D2 M U M D2 M'
or do they all suck and I should keep looking?
Also, if anyone has a better alg for a Z perm on D with adj swap on U then I'd like it.

Urgh... MD always causes problems for me...

get a algorithim that in includes R U and D sides for a right handed person

For the Dutchies:

Where do you buy your sillicon spray? Do you just buy it abroad or does Gamma/Praxis sell CRC, Jig-a-loo, etc?

[samkli]

When you do an average of for example 50/100 solves.. would you count the "best average of 5/12" as your record if you luckily get a couple of good solves in a row? Or do you only count it when you do an average of 5/12, and not of 50/100?

Hold on... Z perm on D AND adjacent swap on U? So three edge swaps? Isn't that impossible. Sorry for my ignorance if I'm wrong.

Third one is fastest for me btw. Right hand for U and D and left ring for M.

Yeah there's also an opposite swap somewhere but opposite swaps don't matter for what that alg is doing. (for the separation step in that random method I posted earlier)

The RUD ones are a lot longer
