Square-1 Algorithm and Questions

When solving my square one, I have everything solved except 2 corners that are across from each other. All other corners and edges are permuted and oriented, except these 2 across from each other. Is there an error with my cube? or is there an algorithm? Any help? Thank You.

Also, what is your opinions on jig-a-loo. I feel it works well, but have heard it can melt the plastic.

So, if you could give me an algorithm for this, or tell me whats wrong with my cube, thank you.

What is the best way to recognize the "L" shape OLLs?

 

[Cubenovice]

I found the L's easier to learn by using L / R mirror algs
Then check if you have 1 or 2 "yellow bars" on the sides

1 bar: place bar in the front (short part of "L" is now facing backwards) if it is on R then do r U r' R U R' U' L F' L' is it on L then the lefty version
2 bars: position with short part of the "L" towards you: is it on R then R' F R U R' F' R y' R U' R', is it on the left do L F' L' U' L F L' y L' U L

Is a v-cube 5 core replaceable with a core from a ghosthand 5x5 or will this make it turn badly/lock

/ (3,3) / (3,0) / (2,-4) / (0,-4) / (4,-2) / (2,-4) / (4,6) / (1,-2) / (-3,-3) /

That swaps two adjacent corners on the U face, on the left side.

And just fyi: Every single cube state on a Square-1 is solvable. You can take the entire thing apart and put the pieces back in any random order and it will always be solvable.

i wouldn't recommend using jig a loo in a sq1

Is there a way to show the date of a post if it the post is just posted two or three weeks ago?

 

[Ickathu]

Could this go here? I'm not sure where else to put it...
Roux users!! Help!!
U2 F2 U2 R F2 D2 R' B2 R D' F' U' R' D' L2 B R D' R F
First block? Nothing looks good for me, even any of the non W/Y bottom blocks (I'm not CN w/roux)

There's a really good gperm video in the video section i changed my algorithms to those just because I don't like x y z rotations while solving. And the n ones are kinda cool if you have good algs for em xD. I hate 2LPLL for n perms

/ (3,3) / (3,0) / (2,-4) / (0,-4) / (4,-2) / (2,-4) / (4,6) / (1,-2) / (-3,-3) /

That swaps two adjacent corners on the U face, on the left side.

It didnt work....

 

[emolover]

It didnt work....

Yes it does.

 

[robosariobo777]

How about two diagonal corners?

/ (3,3) / (3,0) / (3,3) / (3,0) / (3,3) / (3,0) / (3,3) / (-1,0) / (2,-4) / (4,-2) / (0,-2) / (-4,2) / (1,-5) / (3,0) / (3,3) / (3,0) but theres probably a more optimal way

 

[robosariobo777]

That one did work. Thank you. It's obvious i made an error with the adjacent corner one...Im not good with notation, and solving square1 took me like a day haha.. But thanks again

Whats a good 2x2? I have a lanlan. What do u guys think? Tell me about some others.

Wittwo is the best hands down.

I think my square1 may be stickered wrong in the middle layer... Its an mf8. White on top and yellow on the bottom. When i go to the green side that has the logo, and put it on the left, the red side is facing me. On the red side, the bigger block is on the left, and the smaller one is on the right. Ive been watching videos and it seems most people have the smaller one on the left and bigger on the right.. Any help?

Although some that i do see have what i have. From Cube Depot. Does it matter which way it is?

Do a z2

 

[robosariobo777]

Do a z2

Im not very good with my orientation. What does this mean? And this is in the solved state. I noticed a lot of cubes have it both ways. Does it not matter?

Do an F2 with the whole cube

You should always have the small bar on the left; it really doesn't matter the orientation itself
