Im not very consistent on pyra so...
Tips for getting sub 10 on pyra with lbl?

Usually during inspection I look for an edge thats correct in relation to a center and do that face. Or if theres none I just look for easy/randomly pick a face to start on.

Roughly how long should my last layer be for sub 10?
Thanks

Yau is like K4/reduction hybrid

I'd say that's pushing it.

You're kidding, right?

Well, it is a hybrid, but I meant to say that it's MUCH more closely related to reduction than K4. You could know Yau and still be far from being able to do a K4 solve, whereas knowing Yau means that you already have all the knowledge needed to solve using reduction.

How do you do the last layer? I learnt algs (or figured some out myself) and used them for last layer, it cuts down your time a bunch compared to hoping for a skip

Uhm yep I use the 5 algs. I could probably use some work on recognition of these. Any other tips out there, during inspection how far into the solve should I be able to see?

i saw a relly god guide a week ago about how to get faster and faster what you should learn next and so on... But i can't find it now sombody?

I have just started using google reader.
I have added this forum to my google reader, but it is very confusing.
in the first page of this forum we see at least 5 things that have new posts in the past hour. but in the google reader I see there is a 2 hour time space between the first and the second things that are shown on my reader.
can somebody explain it to me? is it even good to follow this forum on my reader?

what is an average ratio or percent for 5x5 steps (reduction)

 

[Chrish]

Where's a good place to learn CLL? I don't like how bob burton's page is illustrated.

edit - search engine's life-purpose is served.. got my answer

 

[vcuber13]

you could have deleted your post, and idk where you found them but i suggest woners or anthonys sites

 

[Chrish]

I looked, I see a edit, quote, quote+ and reply button. After having looked further knowing I COULD delete it, I found it.. thanks.

Honestly i would just learn Oka, or Polish V (without all the algs) LBL algs for pyra arent very good.

I average about 1:50 and my splits are usually 30-55-25.

Oka's really easy to learn.

Where's a good tutorial for the OKA Pyraminx method?

I learned from this one i think, you don't really need a good tutorial for it because it's really easy.

Take some Plumbers goop, or other glue that dries slowly, fill the hole with it, then screw the screw in, and unscrew it. Might work. Extra cores are less than a dollar, if you do buy one, buy a couple.

Anyone tested this before? Or maybe has a method that definitely works?
