2x2x2 BLD Tutorial

For anyone having trouble with the algorithm in the OP, here's the fixed version: L D R' D' L' D R D' z R' D' L D R D' L' D z'

And this is a nice and short alternative: (F U') (F L' F L') (U' L2) (F2 U)

A tip that helped me with orientation: (I'm not sure if it is necessary, but I am just kinda developing my own rules here because the OP is hard to follow for me)
When you start to memorize, place an already solved piece at ULF (according to your colour scheme), and make setup moves that do not disturb it (no movement of the U, L, or F faces).

Again, I'm just starting out and this is what has allowed me to solve the orientation consistently, so maybe an expert can clear things up better?
 
Could somebody give me a link or write the T-perm algs, for those corners? Haven't found them propably because I'm crappy searcher...
 
Hmm... Thought it would be something special... I'll try to use the ortega perms. Thanks anyway :p
 
Ok so I am trying to do this for my school talent show and it's at the end of this month so, no puressure, but I kinda need a quick response.

So when you say that if you have a 3 in your cycle to skip it and to to the next number in your cycle, wouldn't that mess you up? Like say that piece 5 goes in posision 3 and that piece goes in posision 8. So you put piece 5 into posision 3 even though that it's really supposed to go in posision 3?

Also, when you're doing Execution of Orientation, I noticed that the algorighm you say messes up some other pieces on the bottom, too. I havn't ever solved it this way all the way through yet and so I don't know if it's supposed to do that and it works out at the end or I'm just doing it wrong.

Could you mabey make a video-tutorial on this? That would be VERY EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you so much!
 
Hello,

Thanks for posting this tutorial. I've been studying it, and am stuck in a couple of places. When you say that if you have a 3 in your cycle, to skip it, I get confused. It seems like it would mess you up. Say piece 7 is supposed to be in position 3, and piece 3 is supposed to be in position 5, it sounds like you mean that you should move piece 7 to position 5, when piece 7 is actually supposed to end up in position 3.

Also, for the execution of orientation, the algorithm you mention also rotates the UFL piece. When you're trying to turn all the corners so they're oriented, it seems like it would mess up your memorization. I know that you can't rotate one single piece, but what should I do so I don't get confused when I'm solving?

Thanks in advance.
 
Stuck at step 3

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this great tutorial! But, I have got a question. In the third step, you say:
Now to the second number in your string, which is at UBR. The setup move for this is simply R', and remember to make an R move when you are complete. Of course, since this is orientation, there's no restriction so you could just as easily have done R2 D R2, and then R2 D' R2, but doing R' is faster.
Click to expand...
But, when I do R', I don't get the same result as R2 D R2 :S
Hope you can explain it to me, I want to solve it blindfolded so badly haha :P

Greets,
