I don't even get that. How is it harder to watch blue pieces compared to white ones? Maybe it's because I've always been color neutral, I just don't get how it's faster to solve on only one color.

it's not.
using one colour is a matter of preference or habit that people have and they learn to recognize certain colour patterns and isolate different colours in the mind, however only in the pattern of one colour.
you do the exact same thing, except your brain knows 6 different ways to do it and they've all been practiced.
if you don't practice being colour neutral, you can't be fast being colour neutral.

Yes. At some point I practised trying to be color neutral and I was almost equally fast with any color but now I am just dual color (white / yellow) and with any other colors I'm basically where I was some months ago, which is usually 3-5 seconds slower.

wow, 6 move first two blocks, too bad the rest of the solve is regular.

How was this lucky? :/

If you perform the alg. you will see why

I tried this one. Here is the link to it on alg.cubing.net. I'm not the best but it would be an easy speedsolve because the easy cross allows for further lookahead.

3 move x-cross on Yellow. RUR'U' trigger for first f2l pair then the other two are awkward (a few rotations). Annoying L case for OLL (used 2 look) and then a T-perm.

Would've been an 11.xx but I slipped and by the time I picked up the cube and solved it (so i thought) it was 12.47. But it was +2
Best I could get was a 10.51. Anyone do better?

Best I got was 11.77. I couldn't figure out a way to get the last two pairs to produce an easy OLL. And I don't know why, but I perform my PLL algs much faster in an actual speedsolve than if I'm timing them by themselves.

By the way, I revised your solution. If you did the algorithm for OLL F (R U R' U' R U R' U') F', then you end up with the "lefty" J-Perm which isn't a bad PLL.

Solving like this:

y // Inspection
R' B' L // XCross
y U' L' U' L U L' U2 L U' L' U L // Blue-red pair
L U L' U L U' L' // Red-green pair
R U' R' U R U R' // Orange-blue pair
U R U R' U' R' F R F' // OLL easy T case
U U-Perm U // PLL

EDIT: 9.76 on a second try on the same solve.

 

[penguinz7]

y U' L' U' L U L' U2 L U' L' U L // Blue-red pair

This alg seems kind of inefficient, unless you really like it, you should just do Triple Sexy. (R U R' U')(R U R' U')(R U R' U') It's a lot of moves but can be executed ridiculously fast.

Lots of pauses during F2B, and I did my usual CMLL instead of CMLLEO, so my LSE was just normal.

Ur learning CMLLEO! Why!!! I would if I was alex or when i am sub 8, but now even at my speed lse and blox are the things that need the most improvement.
