If you didn't intentionally auf your dot EO so you would skip CO then yes i would count that as lucky. Also, if you normally use 2-look PLL then U perm or any EPLL is also pretty lucky. Skipping 1 or more steps in LL = lucky. Lucky F2l is more difficult to define. Skipping a single f2l slot by unintentional multislotting or accidental xcross isn't enough to make an f2l lucky in my opinion. To me that's less lucky than getting 2 or move 3 move pairs or getting a rotationless f2l with very easy lookahead, where the next pair is right in front of you every time.

If you knew OLL/PLL then it would definitely be full step. 2-look OLL/PLL is pretty much full step if you knew you would skip CO with 2 F sexy's. 4LLL is certainly not full step.

Thanks. I use 2LOLL and full PLL, and no, I didn't predict the CO skip, so guess it is lucky. Not a PB then.

It's a PB whether it's lucky or not...

I know that Guhong cubes cannot be sold on eBay anymore but I was wondering if we could possibly disguise it as something else? E.g. Somebody could inform the community that they were selling Guhongs on eBay but when you went to eBay it would say that you were buying a toaster. So that it says there selling a toaster but when you get it in the mail it is a Guhong cube. (Sorry if this doesn't make sence).

No, because it beat my previous PB nonlucky, but not my previous PB lucky. Look at my sig.

Hey guys, I'm getting pretty good at using my fingers but I'm having trouble memorizing all of the f2l algs. Does anybody have a way they remember all of them?

What happens if someone actually wants a toaster?

We could do it as a really wierd product that nobody would buy. Such as a empty coke can, nobody is gamma buy a $15.00 coke can.

Or you could just buy a guhong from the people who still have it in their stores.

Or are they?...

I'm suggesting this for the guys who sell the ultamite Guhong.

Simply don't memorise the algs. Learn intuitive F2L. I know all the cases without thinking about them. I just see the position of the edge and the corner and get on with it while scanning the cube for the next pair. It's really not that difficult to get used to.

This is the only alg I use and average around 11 seconds for my F2L

Umm, what do you mean by intuitive? Sorry I'm a noob

Intuitive just means with logic. So try to work out F2L without guides.

Ooooooh ok!

Disguise it as a rubiks brand, nobody wants that!

 

[RubiksHuman]

Wait, one problem. I'm still unsure on how to get an edge piece out of the middle layer and into the top...

 

[Rpotts]

R U R'

 

[RubiksHuman]

How about this? If i'm unsure of how to move it then I'll post it here and you give me the alg because I am running into a lot of these kinds of problems, then I will copy/paste into Word and have it as a reference until I memorize how to do it.

Is they YJ 6x6 the same size as a V-cube 6?

I think people tend to start with the standard 3 F2L ideas (cross colour, opposite colour or same colour on top) and work it out for themselves.
If you want specific cases.

Try looking at what the algs do to help you see how it works.
