Here's my attempt at an LEOR solve. It's mostly (really bad) linear FMC, but only doing things that aren't too insanely out of reach for a faster solve for me. I only know one Pyjam EO alg, so I was using roux LSE to set up to it. @Pyjam , do you have any algs for 2 bad pieces? I don't care...

I'll pass. Thanks for the quick reply, though.

How much are you looking for for the wuque?

3x3: 1:30.41 Roux; GTS3M OH: 3:47.98 ZZ; GTS3M First OH solve. I'm just happy I didn't DNF. If I had tried to guess 5 minutes ago how long my first OH solve would take, I would have guessed around 10 minutes. My ergonomics were no doubt terrible for it; I was pretty much just rotating the cube...

I am trying to learn 2GR and am having trouble understanding how slice moves (and wide moves, by extension) affect EO. For ZZ I learned the definition that an edge is good if it is in the <R, U, L, D, F2, B2> group. Unfortunately, following an M, E, or S move, there are two ways in which a...

I don't know if this method has been thought of before, but I thought of a new method partially inspired by CFTOP called "Zzz". 1. Close your eyes and relax for the first 15 seconds of inspection. 2. When you get the +2 warning, start the timer and solve using any ZZ variant. :D

Thanks for the response. I guess the gap between a lot of the methods in terms of raw average movecount is fairly close. I still want to learn Heise eventually, but if one can use another method with better ergonomics and lookahead and recognition that doesn't lose too much in terms of movecount...

Is Heise really all that efficient? What if you did steps 1 and 2 of Heise the same, and then inserted the F2L pair while maintaining EO, and then did ZBLL to complete? Seems like that should have a lower movecount. Here's an attempt at some estimates of average movecount from F2L-1+EO...

Hey, we all know your 2x2 pb single is the most important thing about you as a cuber. ;)

Do you remember what LL case you got?

3x3; ZZ; Valk 3: 1:52.38 2x2; Ortega (but I forgot the algs in the moment, so really LBL); Gan 249 v2: 26.03 pb 3x3 single was 57.xx earlier today with ZZ. I'd be for a OH solve of the day as some other people have mentioned. I've never done OH, but I'd join in for this thread and see if I like it.

The first one. And yes, I'm using an algorithm for it, just surprised at how often it comes up.

2x2 (Ortega) Gan 249v2 15.416 Decided to try my other 2x2 this time. I like the Wuxia better, but the Gan stickerless shades are really nice looking. Nice to basically cut my time in half from the last 2x2 solve of the day I did. :D Probably the first and only time I'll ever get to do that on...

Wuxia (I think? I forget which 2x2 I bought.) Partial Ortega (still learning) 32.030 My recall on the algs (except S and As OLLs, and the T-perm, because I already knew them) is terrible right now. Hopefully I can get my time down to sub-20 in a few days.

Wuxia (I think? I forget which 2x2 I bought.) 3x3-style LBL 30.586 I knew the U OCLL for 3x3, so I tried to do that, but I messed it up and had to do OCLL again.

2:14.87 :/ I really meant it when I said bad :D Yeah, though I am far to willing to flip-flop between methods for my own good.

June 21, 2018 MF3RS2 ZZ 134.87 Well, that was bad. Ah well, I already decided to do this, so here's my time. :D

I don't think one's dominant hand affects one's time.
