Easy SQ1 Solution?

[Brian Le]

I hate to ask this, but where is a good, easy, and understandable SQ1 solution? I've looked around, and I haven't found one that allows me to solve mine...

I'd have to say the easiest is:

Once you figure out how to get it into a square shape you just need two algorithms to finish it.

You could technically just do the corners with obvious commutators. If you want to learn a pure parity fix for edges, go ahead. I think if you want to do it reasonably fast, you learn an edge "orientation" alg, a corner permutation alg, and an edge permutation alg. Choose one: http://www.cubezone.be

You can probably get sub-1min with just those algs, but don't trust what I say: my method differs greatly from this.

I was able to get around 1:10 with only knowing a few algorithms from Lars' site. I originally learned 1 edge permutation, 2 corner permutation, 1 edge orientation, and 1 cubeshape. I've only learned a couple of more algorithms and can average 45 seconds (on a good day).

I use this 4 algorithm solution at speedcubing.com

Very simple indeed.

Is there an easy way to fix parity ? For example for 5x5 cubes, it is almost possible to fix it before it happens...

The solution on nerdparadis has a easy (but bad/slow) way to do it. The best way to do it is to learn one or more parity-algs. These are LONG

did you check on youtube? i have seen a few good ones out there
