Moves placed before and after the generator are applied before and after, respectively, the generator moves for each case. So this example performs R U D2 before applying R, U R U', R U R U', R2 U R U' R', etc.

Which variant do you plan on using?

When you can't solve a triplet? Solve a pair and intuitively solve another edge to get L5E or solve a pair and set up to LMCF/Waterman L6E.

WaterRoux does not really need L7E, as after you solve the corners you can often solve an E2L triplet in order to reach L6E, which can be solved using normal Waterman/LMCF techniques.

Having a good L7E method would make a variety of methods world-class, and doing the same for L8E, well, I think that would fundamentally change cubing. But we are nowhere near that yet.

EZD algorithms are not particularly ergonomic though, and the setup would be a lot of algs. I think L8E might(?) have potential, but I don't think EZD is the way to go.

It’s from the greater Tolkien legendarium. Syl, lol.

What if I told you I'm not the same Melkor as on Discord?

Still occasional twangs. That Fingolfin is a feisty one.

People who have read the Silmarillion are few and far between, much less those who are main characters in it.

Lol, yeah, we will forever only know how to recog the T cases of 42.

Eh, Sauron has always had some crazy projects. Besides, he is more of a conlanger than a cuber, the Black Speech only whet his appetite.

I don't know where the 486 comes from, L5C is 614 algs. Am I missing something?

Crap, be quiet! How did you figure that out? Only my bro Eärendil knows!

(It was all a big misunderstanding) Anyway, hello everyone, I am Melkor (please don't call me Morgoth), I am currently spending a relaxing eternity in the Timeless Void. Here, I have disovered many passions, including cubing. After spending a couple years with the beginner's method, I...
