you should get it very easily then.

btw:
red line means the string goes above, blue means the string goes beneath the magic.

Basic square-1 tutorial?

Does anyone have a link to a basic square-1 tutorial? Sort of like a 4LLL on a 3x3 cube, I just got a square-1.

The wiki has a couple of useful links, including my silly beginner method.

 

[hr.mohr]

The dry eraseboard have a simpel solution that uses diagrams and a combination of very few algorithms.

Josef Jelínek has also beautiful tutorial for sq-1:

It´s in czech, but if you know a notation, I believe that it´s understandable. I average about 30 seconds with his method and use only 3 (!!) EP algs. (including parity error)

 

[hdskull]

Thank you for your responses.

 

[hooboork]

You are welcome ;-)

I thought Jason's was pretty good:

i've never used a basic method, i sorta jumped into a difficult method, haha

Polymorphix ???

If you mean Pyramorpix I have to disagree with Ton about it being like a skewb. I actually think that that is a 2x2x2. If you look on the inside you can see that there is actually a 2x2x2 mechanism inside. Because 4 of the pieces of a pyramorphix look like a 1 dimensional triangle (center) a lot of things that seem to be impossible on a 2x2x2 actually seem possible, like 1 rotated corner.

 

[crazyasianskills]

No its the polymorphix its a mix between a skewb and a skewb ultimate. I know what a pyramorphix is though I want one of those too.

i wana know how to do the 4x4x4 oll parity

i wana know how to do the 4x4x4 oll parity

The algorithm you posted in your thread works, study up on notation.

 

[panyan]

wanted: good guide for 4x4x4 in how-to's and guides

i have a 3x3x3 and i am trying to line up some tutorials for 4x4 up to 7x7 and there seems to be 5-7 in the guides, but nothing on 4x4x4, can someone point me in the right direction please? thanks

This tutorial is good in my opinion.

 

[shelley]

4x4 is intuitive if you already know how to solve 3x3. If you just want to solve it, you only really have to learn two additional algs to deal with the parity cases. If you want a good speedsolve method,

[PianoMan]

I would like supersolving tutorials

 

[byu]

I would like a tutorial on how to do the TuRBo Blindfold System. Erik's website is good, but it doesn't explain how to do thinks such as fix parity, it just says to use a PLL. If the edges that need to be swapped are really far apart, couldn't this become a problem?
