Is 1LLL possible?

What if instead of just solving your last pair, you use phasing when solving it? I haven't worked out how many algs that would be, but that should greatly reduce the alg count while only adding 3-4 extra moves

Doing LS differently to reduce the number of LL cases is not what this thread is about. Yes, phasing would reduce alg count (by a factor of 3), but it's not even as large a reduction as EO (factor of 8) and people don't consider these subsets to be "full 1LLL".
 
Is 1 look 2x2 theoretically possible though?
A 2x2 has 3674160 combinations
So if we assume it's inventor started learning 200 algs a day in 1970 then hed be finishing soon
But then again why would anyone do that?

Well, there are only 120 States that can be solved in four Moves and 534 in five so that's deffenitely possible

What about 1LHC (1 look whole cube)

Ask Frank Morris, he probably does that already

I think we should bring back some of Lucas Garrons' stuff, it was funny and can easily be done here, just not sure whether people will cooperate, especially when most people who regularly use off topic are newer cubers who wouldn't know about it.

If you allow for 1 set up move (R, R', R2, F', F, F2, L, L', L2, U, U', U2, D, D', D2, B', B, B2) then you can use a large amount of symmetry to reduce cases. Furthermore I am not certain if the number of combinations (3674160) includes cases which are symmetric to a rotation and solved by the same algorithm. If not, the allowing (A) one rotation, and (B) one setup move, could reduce the number of cases by a factor of 80 (45,927 cases). Correct my math if I'm wrong.

I don't know how right that math is, but 3.6 million is with a fixed corner. Also, you could ignore all of the positions taking 5 moves or less to knock off 9992 algs.
 
ZBLL?
Zeroing?

ZBLL stands for Zborowski-Bruchem Last Layer and is the subset of 1LLL in which all of the Edges are Oriented. There are 593 Cases and multiple people have learnt it.

Zeroing is basically the best Method that exists and people say, we have to stop telling new cubers it's a thing, because it doesn't exist and is just made up.
