The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[MrIndianTeen]

yea but where? In the core or between the layers or somewhere else?

Just open up a gap between the layer and drop in a couple drops. There are a few tutorials on youtube.

 

[Godmil]

where to apply maru lube on guhong?

I put a drops in by opposite corners of the top face center piece (just in the little hole) you don't need to bother opening anything up.

Is there any like ACTUAL point in me learning COLL? Or is it a part of ZZLL? And please don't respond if you are just going to say "well you should learn COLL because its useful, especially if you decide you don't want to continue with learning ZZLL, you can just do VH as your LL"

Question: Which 2x2 methods are possible to sub-4? And which to sub-3?

 

[RyanReese09]

Ortega, CLL (and EG), probably LBL sub4.

I don't know Guimond or SS or anything else.

Edit-

Eric, COLL IS useful because I do edge control during F2L (not that this should influence you) but when I get EO skip for LL I always check the COLL case as I do my alg, that way I *know* what types of PLL to expect. It really does help.

Alternatively if I get r U R' U' r F R F' COLL, and the opposite of this case comes up (matching pair of colors on the B slice instead of F) then I'll do COLL there.

I do not regret learning COLL and it also helps when I get headlights, as I can do the OLL alg R U2 R D' (headlights back) or the headlights front (inverse of that) to provide me easier PLL.

There is a huge point to learning COLL, not just in 3x3x3 speed.

In addition to what Ryan said, COLL is also very helpful in OH solving. In my opinion, COLL is kinda cumbersome to use in OH. However, diag corner PLLs are just plain disgusting in OH. So, if you know COLL, you can avoid diags completely, and you can also choose to opt out of using COLL if it's an adj.

Everything you listed (except for LBL until I see proof otherwise) is sub-3able

And which is easiest to sub-3? I know CLL is, but what about the others.

 

[RyanReese09]

CLL (EG is a subset of CLL) is the easiest to sub3.

Not easy. Easiest.

I know OH COLL (sexy algs) and I try my best to force EO skip during OH, COLL, U perm, gogo done.

I forgot about its' OH use.

 

[EricReese]

Is COLL a part of ZZLL though? If so I'd rather start on ZZLL instead of specifically learning COLL first. I'm not big into OH either, and with 4x4 it isnt as fast to recognize the COLL + do the COLL alg (which is usually worse) because on the XCube I can perform any PLL just as fast

Also Ryan:

get back to work lmao

Um other way around kiddo. CLL is a subset of EG

EDIT: (x+12)(y-8)=(x+5)(y-4)
xy-8x+12y-96=xy-4x+5y-20

(x+12)(y-8)=xy
xy-8x+12y-96=xy
-8x+12y-96=0
12y=8x+96
3y=2x+24
y=[2x+24]/3

76 - 4x = 7y
76 - 4x = [7[2x+24]]/3
76-4x=[14x+168]/3
76=[14x+168]/3 + 4x
228 = 14x+168+12x
60 = 26x
x=60/26
y=124/13

idk if that rights it doesnt sound right

fix'd, and the answer to your question depends on how good you are at learning algs. Ideal would be a combination of knowledge from different methods (EG, SS, Guimond etc.) to take advantage of the most easy cases possible

for 4x4, imho COLL doesnt really help much, it is cool to reduce to an EPLL because the parity is very evident, but other than that, i'd find it faster just to use a OLL and figure out the PLL afterword. however if you do learn it, of course the 2x2 benefits, but also allows you to force nice cases on the 3x3. if you are going for ZBLL, i mean it would be a good transition for you to learn COLL, since the ZBLL subsets are recognized by their COLL case and an edge cycle. this is what i would learn:
OCLL/PLL
OLL/PLL
COLL/EPLL
ZZ-b/ZZLL

what it seems like you are doing is jumping the gun.

 

[EricReese]

Jumping the gun how?

 

[vcuber13]

what else is there?

7g) Competitors must solve while sitting or standing.

 

[RyanReese09]

what else is there?

Laying down, fetal position, giving birth position, etc. I can go on and on.

 

[maggot]

Jumping the gun how?

i guess you could do it like that. an example of what i mean is:

new cuber can solve with beginner method. new cuber transitions to CFOP solves. new cuber decides to learn full OLL. forum member explains OCLL and its benefits in the early stages of CFOP learning. new cuber ignores this and jumps into full OLL. new cuber is frustrated.

that is all.

 

[Rpotts]

not really, some COLLs might be ZZLLs but most COLLs seem to leave edge permutation uneffected or 3 cycle them. ZZLLs have to do COLL + swap 2 edges (or swap zero if it's an EP skip) so even with full COLL i bet you'll have to learn a new ZZLL for most COLL cases (other than L3C cases where COLL might be perfect)

 

[Cool Frog]

Laying down, fetal position, giving birth position, etc. I can go on and on.

Judge: Ready for inspection?
You: Yes
*click*
*picks up cube then lays down on the floor*
*Puts hands on the table 3 feet above you then starts the solve laying on floor*
*Finishes solve and then throws the cube in the air onto the table and slams hands on table*
