mr gigumms, i believe your meaning "oll" parity and he is referring to "pll" parity.
anyway you can check on gabbasoft

I just did to make sure and I got two swaped corners and a whole center twisted 90 degrees.

EDIT: You can do PLL parity with no swapped centers but it's impossible to do a T-perm with out swapping centers.

im goin to my first competition and my parents want to go with the whole family :/ so i was wondering if your parents went to competitions with you?

Usually at least one goes. My whole family has gone to all of the ones I've gone to, but only my mother is going to Nebraska with me.

well its gonna be mom dad grandma and little sis... bubt im stuck with 3 guests in the registration and my friend was supposed to be one of them

That's fine. Most competitions have more than enough room for spectators.

Correct. PLL parity algorithms do an even number of swaps. With a reduction method, it -appears- that two dedges are being swapped, but you have to remember that each dedge is comprised of two pieces. Swapping two pairs of pieces results in an even number of swaps.

Actually you can swap 2 wings on a 4^3 while leaving everything else in place. But it doesn't work with 2 corners.

How is that possible? Any turn on a 4x4 does an even number of swaps...how could you get an odd permutation?

 

[TMOY]

A slice move does an odd permutation (one 4-cycle of wings and two of centers, that's 3*'(4-1)=9 swaps).

Ah, I see now. Thanks!

Is COLL where you solve LL corners in one alg if the edges are oriented? So like, ZBLL - EP? And if you do corner permutation and full OLL in one alg is that ollcp that Thom mentioned in cubecast?

Yes

are there stores near toronto that sell sq1s?

What's wrong with ordering online? (...not really an answer...)

how can i make my MF8 square-1 stop popping so much??

The caps? or the pieces..

I assume you mean caps, in which case you need to glue them. If you mean pieces, tighten the screw.

 

[TheCubeMaster5000]

Where is the screw on the square-1 and how do you get to it?

open the caps on the middle layer, they are there

dont assume anything, i meant the pieces, and where is the screw?

EDIT: nvm forte answered already

He wasn't silly to assume. He stated his assumption as to not confuse you. Square-1s don't usually pop so it was a reasonable assumption.
