Mean of 3: 6.91

Wow, bad. The second and third averages were pretty typical, but I had several cases of really messing up the same PBL in the first average. (emolover's J perm - it's fast for me so I switched to it, but it's risky - I often mess it up)

This is my first week with the 2x2. I'm trying to learn Ortega but I think I'm doing something wrong. Every so often I'll have one bar on the top layer in front and I'll do R U' R F2 R' U R' and afterwards I'm left with an upside down T perm. If I get in a hurry and don't notice the T perm I end up with a DNF. What am I missing?

 

[Reprobate]

I'm not 100% sure what you mean. If one layer is solved already and there's a single adjacent swap on the other layer, it's a straight T-perm.

Not to be a pain, but instead of taking an overall average, we're supposed to treat each ao12 as a separate time, and plug that in to calculate a mean of 3...if I'm not mistaken that makes your result 7.11 for this week.

Then why are you switching to LBL? You can get fast with Ortega easily. Andy Klise's guide is the most useful by far.

After I'd solve a 7 a T perm would be left over. I think I am mis-identifying the 7 sometimes.
