    [Member Intro] Hello from South Africa

    Hi. I'm from South Africa too (Jo'burg)!!! My son and I are (as pocket money for him) thinking about starting a custom sticker business from Jo'burg. Do you think there's a market? The local guys only sell generic stickers.

    Phasing Explained (ZZ-b)

    I thought the idea of phasing was to permute the edge pieces so that they are completely solved for the rest of the solving. Certain of the algorithms to deal with the corners will swap the edge pieces around so that only two opposite are solved and the other two sets are swapped around.
