Inspection Time - what can you do?

[clincher]

Those two are different events, how should I to compare them?

I'd predict that the later would have a slower solve time directly proportional to the inspection time.


Tim.

15 seconds of preinspection doesn't mean that you'ra gonna save 15 seconds of your solve time

EDIT: just saw AvGalen's post and I realized i said the same thing

When you are in your inspection time what do you look for? All I see is one edge of the cross,2 if Im lucky

 

[doubleyou]

it depends. I guess I could need more practice, but.. sometimes the cross is easy to planm out and sometimes I just cant do it.

usually I see three of the cross edges. and more like I can see one solution, not THE perfect solution

My main goal for this part of the solving is to get from the cross and into my first F2L pair smoothly. this rarely happen tho

I got a good example for you that Jnetcube just gave me 5 mins ago.

With white on top and blue on the front layer scramble your cube with this:

L' D L U2 F' B' D2 B F2 R' F' U2 D2 B' R' L2 U2 R' F' L F2 R' F2 D2 R

Flip the cube over for white to be on bottom and orange is on the left and you should see that if you count D2 (any move with 2) as 1 move you can have a 3 move cross, you should also notice that one corner and edge are already paired up and correctly oriented. and by only adding a couple of extra moves you can pair up another one as well.

If you do: R D2 L' U R L'

6 moves and you placed 2 corners/edges and the cross. That was a pretty simple scramble and you should be able to see that in 15 seconds.

Heh, I got a 11.60 with that scramble. The easiest scramble ever. If only I was more awake/warmed up, maybe there could have been a sub11 or sub10!
