Correction he has one on this site and he's been a member since 2008 http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/member.php?2933-Me-Myself-amp-Pi

thanks!

Just hold the last layer facing up,
R U' R' U' F' U F

Worth noting that this is just the 'beginner method' insert done a twice.

Many thanks for this. It is a far better solution to the messy one I found on Youtube. Just need to work on my PLL recognition now!

Lol Yeah Averaging 17.9 now. How can I stop myself from doing 3x3 and focus on 4x4?

If you feel like you're improving a lot, don't shift your focus until your 3x3 times have stabilized. Your times may worsen.

Dude, just getting a 17.9 AO12 dosent mean you are averaging 17 seconds now. Do and AO100 and that it what you are averaging currently!

I found getting a good cube motivated me to do 4x4; when I got an AoSu I did 200 solves in one and a half days. Sadly, it wasn't mine, so I had to give it back to the person who owned it on Monday morning If you already have a decent cube though, try hiding your main 3x3 somewhere, or asking someone else to hide it.
(I might actually do this so I can focus on other events more)

3x3: Ao50 is 17.9

@TDM, I have an Aousu.

 

[PJKCuber]

Can anybody suggest the puzzle for each cubic event and Mega/Pyra that I would like according to my likings?
My likings: Light,fast, decent corner cutting and a smooth/crunchy feel. I like the feel of SS 4x4 more than the Aosu because the Aosu is very heavy and sluggish.
I also have slightly small hands(Unlike Kevin Hays) that are comfortable holding cubes up to a 5x5.

How do all of you stretch out you hands before you start cubing?

By cubing, lol
Usually I just end up cracking my fingers after the first or second solve.

How do all of you stretch out you hands before you start cubing?

Usually I just play a game or type before I do a session

Not quite what I said, but close...

Exactly where I had heard that orientation was white-top-green-front, Noah's tutorial for classic pochman BLD. So, is orientation random then?

For BLD, you can choose any orientation. Orange Green , Red Blue, anything. Once chosen, stick with that only!

In competition you get cube with random orientation. Firsr you have to reorientate the cube so it fit to your orientation.

He means when you get given a cube to solve at a comp.

- 12a1a) Clockwise, 90 degrees: F (front face), B (back face), R (right face), L (left face), U (upper face), D (bottom face).
- 12a1b) Anti-clockwise, 90 degrees: F', B', R', L', U', D'.
- 12a1c) 180 degrees: F2, B2, R2, L2, U2, D2.
