Wait what? I thought it was a 3x3.
Yea that's like a straight up ball though. They released a new Square-1 that has a ball core more similar to their 4x4.

Roux is a really good SQ-1 beginners method. For 2x2, learn PBL for ortega. Then i would advise you to learn guimond. After that, it's up to you whether you want to get into SS/CLL/other advanced methods.I just ordered a Square-1 and it's my first one. What is a good method to start with? A tutorial would be great too. I also ordered some 2x2s so I need a good method for that. What would be an equivalent path from beginner's method to speedsolving method for 2x2? Like for 3x3 it may be Beginner's LBL-->F2L with Beginner's LL-->F2L+4-look LL-->F2L+PLL=2LOLL-->Full Fridrich. That's a progression into Fridrich but would 2x2 look something more like Fridrich corners LBL-->Ortega-->????
It stands for Corners of Last Layer, and it's just where you orient and permute all the LL corners with one alg. I think there are around 41 algs, but don't quote me on that. A lot of people use it for 2x2x2, but it's also used in some other methods.Yea I know I don't need to learn LBL it's just using OCLL's and a few PLL's. What exactly is CLL?

(video) I was looking around the cubers from my country and found this video of a 4x4 solve.
At 0:25 suddenly the edges and centers are solved and solver proceeds to 3x3 phase.
What method was he solving with?
I'm pretty sure that he is cheating. What he did was mix up the cube like a 3x3 and then when scrambled he scrambled it like a 2x2 and solved it like a 2x2 then 3x3. You'll notice that there is no edge pairring.
What can be considered a good LL average time if you know all (57 + 21) algorithms?

Does the Mini-Qj 4x4x4 have screws? Currently mine is really loose and I can't find any screws in it. Let me know thanks

That makes so much sense. As centers finished edge pairing was skipped and the odds of that are(insert insanely high number here). I was suspicious but that does look like the likely explanation.
How exactly are multi blind rankings determined?
I assume it's a combination of time, cubes solved and target.
It just seems strange to me that more cubes solved within the hour can rank lower than less cubes but closer to the target.
WCA multi blind results
World Cube Association Regulations said:9f16) For the Rubik's Cube: Multiple Blindfolded event the order in the results is based on number of puzzles solved minus the number of puzzles not solved (higher is better). If the result is lower than 0, the solve is disqualified.
If competitors have the same result, then the order is based on total time (lower is better).
Does anyone happen to know a nice alg to twist ULB and UBR? (without cube rotations)
(RUR'U')x2 L' (URU'R')x2 L
No, that is for UFL and ULB
