I think most people will say F2L, then all PLL, and full OLL last. That said, here's a possible reason that might not be the only reasonable answer: if they want to learn CFOP, then they are choosing a method whose claim to speed is in its ability to become extremely mechanical with a lot of...

This seems pretty good: http://www.rubiksplace.com/speedcubing/guide/ . It says it's a picture based guide, but there's quite a bit of description for each case, though you probably will need to execute the algorithm backwards (do the inverse) on a solved cube door each case, which will setup...

Round 50 Cube: Valk 3 Race to sub-60 Method: Roux ao12: 106.296 (0/3) 153.49 86.08 (67.17) (DNF) 156.41 82.05 93.70 105.87 78.81 117.28 88.11 101.16 4: Pop. I'm not sure if this is the right way to score a DNF, but I guess it doesn't matter too much since I'm not reaching my goal this...

I've gotten "Still trying to solve it?" When I'm learning a new method and I've already solved it several times since they first noticed me solving it, and the classic "You're cheating" when I am learning a new method and referencing algs.

Thank you, that makes sense. HARCS looks interesting; I had not heard of it: I will have to check it out.

What are the estimated average move counts of the four most popular methods? (any estimates for other methods or variations beyond that are welcome, of course) Speed solving Wiki has numbers, but they don't add up: CFOP: ~55 Petrus: ~50 Roux: 48 (For "speed". For FM it has "28-", but that's not...

Round 222 Race to Sub-30 ZZ ao12: 78.33 1:10.15, 1:23.46, 1:24.22, 1:25.34, 1:08.63, 1:23.74, 59.62, 1:17.78, 1:00.97, (1:51.79), 1:49.34, (54.28) Beat my 1:03.06 single from last week first with a 59.62, and then again with my final solve of 54.28, netting me two sub-60 solves. Solves 10 and...

Or Heise. ;)

Round 219 Race to Sub-30 ZZ Ao12: 3:11.44 (2:13.73), 4:00.78, 2:32.05, 2:28.17, 2:39.58, 3:50.25, (4:53.40), 2:55.28, 3:41.52, 3:25.86, 3:15.30, 3:05.61 I cheated a little and used CFOP algs to orient corners when I noticed I had messed them up during F2L, but since the times that that...

Hey, he had a theory, he tested it, it was falsified, and he abandoned it. More than I can say for a lot of the quotes from non-cubers in this thread.

Learning Roux, then ZZ, then going to try and decide between them.
