CatSharked's Progression Thread

[WhatDoIPutHere]

For me this was actually easy to understand, you should definitely make a tutorial on it. My 2x2 will be fixed by the end of the week

Happy to help!

Step 1: Find the correct slot for the logo piece. You will know when it is correct when you find 3 internal edges that do not have visible magnets on them.
Step 2: Take apart those 3 internal edges by pulling them apart from the crack in the middle. The reason that it is so hard to get this piece in is that it isn't designed to move.
Step 3: Take out the center magnet tension adjustment thing on the 3 centers that have the teeth on them.
Step 4: Align all the teeth and put in the half of the edges that doesn't have visible magnets, all facing towards the slot for the logo piece.
Step 5: Put the corner piece in by moving 1 or more centers out where the edge is still on both teeth of the adjacent centers but there is enough room for the center to fit.
Step 6: Put other halves of the internal edges back together with the unfinished half, making sure that they are holding on to the teeth. Also put back the center magnet tension adjustment thing and put it back to your favored settings.

This might be hard to understand, I plan on making a new thread with pictures for this. However, I've been putting it off because I'm scared I won't be able to reverse it.

Fixed my 2x2! Would it be okay if I made a YouTube tutorial on how to do this?

You could definitely do a YouTube tutorial on it, people need to know how to fix this problem! Just make sure to credit me

Pyraminx 11.37 average
Pyraminx 9.34 single

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

im assuming u use lbl for 2x2, learn ortega, it can make you sub 5. as for me, im currently sub 7-10 using ortega.

I use LBL for 2x2 but I average sub-5

 

[CatSharked]

I use LBL for 2x2 but I average sub-5

When I used LBL, I averaged 2 minutes. On 2x2.

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

When I used LBL, I averaged 2 minutes. On 2x2.

When I used LBL, I averaged 2 minutes. On 4x4.

 

[d---]

When I used LBL, I averaged 2 minutes. On 4x4.

When I used LBL, I averaged 2 minutes. Before I gave up.

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

I use LBL for 2x2 but I average sub-5

Maybe that's because I had a few efficient OLL algs for 2x2, and PLL is just either a Y perm or a J perm.

 

[CatSharked]

When I used LBL, I averaged 2 minutes. On 4x4.

When I used LBL, I averaged 40 seconds. On 3x3

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

When I used LBL, I averaged 40 seconds. On 3x3

When I used LBL, I averaged 2 minutes. On 2x2.

So you do 3x3 a lot better than 2x2?

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

When I used LBL, I averaged 40 seconds. On 3x3

When I used LBL, I averaged 40 seconds. On 3x3 OH

 

[CatSharked]

So you do 3x3 a lot better than 2x2?

I used to, before I understood that a 2x2 was the corners of 3x3

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

I use LBL for 2x2 but I average sub-5

Maybe that's because I had a few efficient OLL algs for 2x2, and PLL is just either a Y perm or a J perm.

I do 2x2 first layer like LBL, but last layer with almost full one-look ortega OLL (still learning the last case) and PLL (Y perm or J perm)

 

[ProStar]

I do 2x2 first layer like LBL, but last layer with almost full one-look ortega OLL (still learning the last case) and PLL (Y perm or J perm)

What case don't you know? Also, if you don't know a good alg for a case, you can usually still do the corresponding OCLL

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

This case:

 

[ProStar]

This case:

Ah, alright. I'm sure you know this, but this case is just F Sexy*2 F'. Also, if you know OLL, it's just this case:

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Ah, alright. I'm sure you know this, but this case is just F Sexy*2 F'. Also, if you know OLL, it's just this case:

I don't know this 3x3 OLL case, but I have just learnt OLL 22 for 3x3 last night. Do you think it's fine if I use the same alg for this OLL on 2x2?
