They're the same other than the brand (obviously one's Lan Lan and the other's QJ).

In what site I can find the fastest F2L's cases?

 

[uberCuber]

Square-2 parity alg? The bottom and center layers are correct both in color and orientation. The top layer however is a bit off though. The front/back colors are correct, however The left/right colors are swapped. I managed to solve it, but I have a feeling that there's a more efficient way.

Is this what you mean?
(-1,0)/(3,3)/(3,0)/(3,3)/(3,0)/(3,3)/(4,0)

It depends on your finger-tricks, the speedsolving wiki has many F2L algs and lists some great sites. Link to F2L article.

Look at the previous page. Answer is yes other than the brand.

That's the one! Thanks a ton, that's much more efficient than the way I was doing it.

My question:
Do CN times get better like normal times ? I avg about 20 sec (white and yellow) and CN (blue and green) about 25 sec. I might start with red and orange soon...
btw: already had a nl 14.94 with a blue cross.

Yes. However, I know many people suggest doing what you do and just work on 1 or 2 colors at a time, but I personally just dove right it on all crosses and it worked great for me. Yes, your times will be awful at first, but it shouldn't take you long before your averages come back down.

I'm wondering, is there a situation where no matter how much you practice, you can't get better?

No. It might get much harder (like, if you're averaging 15 seconds with the beginners method), but it never becomes physically impossible.

I'm relearning OLLs and I'm at 39/57. I have "P" shape, "L" shape, small lightning bolts, and knight moves left. I've already got algs picked out and flash cards made for all of them but which should I learn next. I'll probably do about a set a week die to my schedule. Which cases occur most often? Which ones take the longest to 2-look?

All the cases you listed are 1/54 chance. As for the 2 looking, I can't say.

 

[freshcuber]

So then should I learn the L group since there's six of them? Recognition would be the hardest with that set though. The P's have short algs for the most part and are all quick. None of the sets have relatively bad algs since I learned all those first.

 

[Rpotts]

know that the P shapes are inverses of the big lightning (that you already know) so they should be very easy to learn.

You don't necessarily need to learn entire "groups" first either. You can learn them in whatever order you like.

You should probably learn the easy ones first like -



F (R U R' U')2 F'

also two of the "L" cases are just double sunes with wide turns at the beginning and end.

How large is a stackmat? And which is better qj timer v2 or stackmat timer pro?
Thx

 

[thackernerd]

I don't know the dimensions but the stackmat pro is definitely a better timer.

 

[s3rzz]

anyone know if the mf8/tomz 3x4x5 is coming to any us shops

I would say about a meter in length and a third of a meter in width (exact dimensions can probably be found online). In my opinion, the Stackmat timer is only better for the reason that it attaches to the Stackmat and looks more professional. If that doesn't really matter to you, go with the QJ.
