No haha I'm asking for a different probability that I'm too stupid to find.

oh derp

It should be 1/4 then, because the sledgehammer takes care of another one of the 8 EO cases.

EDIT: Wait no, give me a minute.

Hmm.

7/8 cases don't have solved EO. If you have a solved pair, then sledgehammer will solve one of those 7. But if you don't ever have a solved pair (R U R' insert), then you'll never get solved EO for any of those 7.

So the answer is somewhere between 1/8 and 1/4, but I think it actually depends on how you solve the various F2L cases.

Would this EO make it ½ then?

Edited some thoughts in above post. Short answer no

Can anyone read this? And does it mention a release date for the 7x7?

Bump

Nope. Nothing about the dates.

Thank you guys, I will use partial edge control too if i learn it.

what is the average movecount of ZZLL?

 

[uberCuber]

what is the average movecount of ZZLL?

12.81

 

[Petro Leum]

12.81

thanks, but can i trust that its optimal? i dont wanna check all the algs

Upon further investigation, maybe not. Boca cites a higher movecount for ZBLL than the SS wiki does.

E-Perm Not working

I am using 2LookPll to permute the last layer but the problem is that every time i case rises up weher i have to use eperm and i use this alg
x' [(R U' R') D (R U R')] u2 [(R' U R) D (R' U' R)]

but 100 tries and still i get one white on the top layer
please help

Just watch how it's done on the simulator and see what you're doing wrong.

It works for me.

This alg is better, but you should figure out what you did wrong with your original alg with the way DeeDubb stated above

It's likely that you are doing the D move in the wrong direction.
Also, you can use any diagonal swap PLL to solve corners for 2LPLL. Many recommend Yperm over Eperm.

That too, all the moves should be done from the face's perspective, and not from yours. The left ring finger D/D' moves in the E Perm makes it harder to master than the Y Perm, but you'll eventually learn both of them if you plan on becoming faster.

Typically, how long is a scramble in a competition? I'm using gqTimer, and the default is 25 moves. Thanks!

Random state scrambles are used: a state is generated by the computer and a near-optimal solution, usually around 20 moves, is generated that solves that state (and I think is inversed?).

I started learning full OLL last Saturday and I have learned 30 cases so far, my times have gone from averaging about 23 to 26. I know that it is normal for times to go up when learning F2L, but did this ever happen to you guys while learning full OLL? I probably shouldn't of learned 5 a day, but what do you think I should do, accept that my recognition will suck until I practice more and continue learning them at a little slower pace, then really work on recognition when I finish, or stop where I am at and get the ones I know down better?
