Oh, come on, at least learn adjacent adjacent (R2 U M2 U' R2 = 1,0/3,0/-1,-1/-2,1/) and opp-opp (M2 U2 M2 = 1,0/-1,-1/6,0/1,1/).
Those can solve pretty much everything efficiently.

For a beginner, you can look up the beginner's method. That should teach you how to use F R U R' U' F' and R U R' U R U2 R' to orient the last layer, and an A perm and a U perm for permuting it. They'll explain it better than I will. My way was just another suggestion that works, but is also quite hard to learn; I wouldn't recommend it.Can you explain me in a simple language?

I use M2 U2 M2 for H/Z perms (I forgot about that when writing my post), but I've only ever used the first one for when I get parity when permuting the first layer - I've never really thought about using it for permuting edges for the first layer, or even for Z perms. I might try using that if I ever practise square-1 between now and 5 minutes before my next comp, which is unlikelyOh, come on, at least learn adjacent adjacent (R2 U M2 U' R2 = 1,0/3,0/-1,-1/-2,1/) and opp-opp (M2 U2 M2 = 1,0/-1,-1/6,0/1,1/).

Anyone know whether this is the v1 or v2? I don't know the difference between the two versions...

I do know FRURUF, but does repeating it orient the layer? Where can I learn perms?

Search for the beginner's method; that should answer your questions.

I tried memorizing PLL algs by cutting them into chunks (M2 U/M2 U2/M2 U/ M2). It's sorta hard to explain.. Anyway, when I cut them into chunks, I end up taking short pauses before I move onto the next chunk. Should I avoid learning algs like this?

It's not really an issue, soon it will become muscle memory and you won't have to think at all.

there is no alg for swapping 2 corners cause you can't.

how long does it take for a comp to put up your times?

Anywhere from a day to a week or two, but typically only a few days.
A question of my own, for anyone - when will the location for US Nationals be decided? I really want to go next year, but it would take a lot of planning ahead.

My guess would be LSC again, but I am super curious as well.

Well, last year the announcement was made in early December, so I'd expect a similar timetable this year.

Where can I buy the cheapest modern timer and stack mat?

Honestly unless you find a steal on ebay. Go to thecubicle.us
Seems expensive but you pay little on shipping every where else shipping is equal to or more than the cost of the actual timer.

Obviously depends on location.

I've noticed that some stores have a "custom store value" option worth 10 cents, and it always says "do not use without contacting the store owner" or something along those lines. Does anyone know what this is for..?
