What's the name of the method where you do Cross and F2L as in CFOP or CFCE, but finish off with CPEOLL and 2GLL?

What is the name of the method where you solve CP-line followed by finishing the D layer and doing one of the <RU> gen CLLs?

I'm pretty sure it's not... It's 3 CeE pairs which then leaves 8 edges to be oriented and permuted. The wiki suggests DL, DB, and DR. I was mostly joking with the last few versions, but thank you for the reasoning as to why it's not; I'm always glad to see eclectic methods be, if not the best...

I underestimated alg counts for PEBL, but it still feels of a reasonable size. Has anyone generated algs for it? So far my only success has been in setting up to EPLL. I assume that setting up to Roux L6E will be better, but so far I have been unable to successfully do it. I know L8EO algs have...

Because my intent when designing this was to focus on the thing which to me most makes a method look like another: how it starts. As for what makes methods similar to eachother as a whole, that's a different (and considerably less clear) question. ZZ feels much more like CFOP with EO at the...

It would only be Corners First if you could plan all four pairs and predict CMSLL in inspection. I doubt that's feasible.

Good point; here I'm using "Reduction" to refer to the act of bringing 1 or more pieces closer to being solved without actually solving them. So EO, CP, any part of Domino Reduction, &c.. And you are correct that PCMS is not CF by this system. That said, it is CF by its CFA score. :D If I was...

ZZ solves the cross (or sometimes arrow or line) while also solving EO. It fits the requirements for both "Face Edges First (2)" and "Reduction (4)", so it is categorized as the lower index: Face Edges First. PCMS doesn't fit this, for example. Neither does Triangular San-Francisko (though...

I like that. I was just thinking today about something similar to that: 1. Corners First (eg LMCF) 2. Face Edges First (sub-categories: Cross, Arrow, Line) 3. Block First (sub-categories: 1x2x3, 2x2x2) 4. Reduction First The first step is here defined as what advanced solvers plan in...

What options are there for finishing a PCMS solve? Here are the ones I've been able to find either on the wiki, here, or just thinking (alg counts will likely be in error for many since I was unable to find documentation for some of these): There are probably worse methods section: On the...

What 3 things make a method feel different from any other? Well, probably alg-count, ergonomics, recognition, reliance on intuition, and many other factors are important, but I'd like to focus on the answers to 3 questions one might ask to characterize a method they have just been told about...

How would you compare LLOB to LEOR? They're very similar: they just swap the order of the middle two steps.

I'd like feet. What about Team Blind? It seems like another unique event which would be good.

Instead of just spamming it 60 times, it would be much more efficient to work in at least some spaced repetition. You could use a flashcard SRS such as Anki or Kitsun, create your own Leitner Box, spend some time each day doing random cases you've learned, or just doing solves: something other...

Personally I think you're doing 100 times better than that at 396 ZBLLs, but who am I to say? /shrug

You mean you can't smash the world record with no inspection? Noob.

Fair enough. Thank you to you both for the quick answers.

What about describing 3-cycles?

You know the sticker notation for 3x3? FUR, FD, &c.? How does it extend to bigger cubes (esp. 5x5+)? I tried to find a wiki page on it, but couldn't.

It might have just been the way it was taught. I wish my stats class had used calculus to show derivations of the formulas that we applied. As it was it was mostly just plugging numbers into the proper formula without actually being given the reasoning and derivation behind the tests.
