How many of you used a intermediate method?

[Cyrus C.]

Hi, I've been teaching a person for about 2 weeks, they have a pretty good handle on the cube & can solve it in about 1:30, I'm wondering: Would it be better to advance them straight to F2L or teach them Keyhole or some other intermediate method first?

Also, how many of you used a intermediate method?

I used OLL/PLL as an intermediary to ZBLL.

My friend just recently learned how to solve the 3x3. Once he could solve it beginner's method, I immediately taught him intuitive F2L. He understands it perfectly.
Teach your friend intuitive F2L.

Teach your frined intuitive F2L.

I never said he was my friend...

It really doesn't matter. But just for you...Teach your "person" intuitive F2L.

 

[Cyrus C.]

I know, I was just joking. I'll teach them Intuitive F2L

 

[Edmund]

I used the book method til I got to about 45 seconds. Maybe they should wait.

Book?

The method that came with the cube. Or the book that you can buy.

I'm agreeing with Edmund. Wait until they get understand the cube more, then teach them. I'm thinking that they might not understand the concepts of. I learned F2L when I was about 40 seconds, than I went to about 1:00, then my times started going down. Maybe you should teach OLL/ PLL first since they're easier to understand.

Teach inituitive F2L first! It is fundamental and alway applicable and is more important than situational algorithms.

I learnt Fridrich very soon after beginners. I understood the cube well, but not as well as now. I say, start as soon as you can.

 

[JTW2007]

I went Dan Knights beginner method -> "Intuitive F2L" w/ 4LLL -> an intuitive Fridrich F2L w/ 2LOLL and PLL. Worked pretty well.

Note: The difference between "intuitive F2L" and what I use now is in number of cases I can handle directly.

Booklet that comes with Rubik's storeboughts.

It's hidden pretty well in the packaging.

2LOLL!

On Topic; I went LBL until sub 40, then Petrus and 2LLL
