generally the orientation when people do scrambles (and i believe is "WCA" standard for competitions) is you do it with the orientation of green in front, white on top

then solving do whatever you feel like, because there's not "correct" orientation for solving, especially if you're color neutral

What about pyraminx? I never really know how to hold it to scramble.

However you pick it up. I'm not sure that there is an "official" way to hold pyra. If there is, I'd do green (or darkest) front, yellow (lightest) bottom instead of top.

Usually the scrambles will tell you how to hold it. EX. scramble U,L,R,B',L',R,r,u the small letters are for the tips and the big letters are for the inner tips

He means orientation.

4d) Cube puzzles must be scrambled with the white (or the lightest colour by default) face on top and green (or the darkest adjacent face by default) on the front.

It doesn't specify for non-cubic puzzles, so I just hold pyra however I pick it up.

Would this count as a DNF after you solved the puzzle and stopped the timer your last few turns or when you slam the puzzle on the table it pops?

[5BLD]

Yeah

[Michael Womack]

Yeah

Would it still count if a cap fell off?
