Most people are aware of the notation used to scramble megaminx, otherwise known as Pochmann Notation, and it is what the WCA uses. An example can be seen below: R-- D++ R-- D-- R-- D++ R++ D++ R++ D-- U' R++ D++ R++ D-- R++ D-- R-- D++ R-- D-- U' R-- D-- R-- D-- R++ D-- R++ D++ R-- D--...

I have completed the survey. I cant wait to see what this is about!

I second the addition of 4x4 FMC. I am highly intrigued by FMC and like 4x4, so why not combine the best of both worlds?

I second this. It’s not hard, and basically all you need is to do some solves. I think megaminx would be easy as I’ve heard basically all you need is to grind solves, but there are a large number of algorithms. 2x2 is easy, you have to learn a number of algorithms, but then your already there...

S moves also show up in a number of OLL algs, and they are quite fast to execute. I am fond of algs like S R U R' U' R' F R' f' and f' r U r' U' r' F r S , and as far as I know, so does Jayden McNeill.

Step 0 is getting a V of opposite colors such as this picture. Step 1 is OLL, but also orienting the un oriented corner on the bottom. So the cube will go from this,(the face previously shown is on the bottom) To this: The cube is now ready for the separation step.

This is a great idea. Unlike 3x3, method neutrality is often practiced in 2x2. But some methods like Ortega and Guimond, are simply not worth the time if you know things like full EG. At the top levels of 2x2, solving is really just “Make a side and solve the rest” the other methods just add...

Thats Hilarious! Its the guide that was linked on the wiki, so it must be good;)

Guimond is an intermediate method for 2x2 comparable to Ortega/Varasono. You make 3/4 of a face of opposite colors(the same color can be used). This step is often already done at the start of a solve. You then use an algorithm to orient the rest of the corners using an algorithm, most of which...

I know the question I’m quoting is old, but I have the same question. How are you supposed to Angstrom lube a 4x4?

Hoya for 6x6 and 7x7 It is widely understood that for the big(ger) cube events, Yau's limitations in the center building stage is not made up for in look-ahead as in 4x4 and possibly 5x5, deeming it a (mostly) non-viable option for speedsolving. It is widely suggested . that you should use...

I got my first 3BLD success! The time was 10:48.967 and the scramble was R' U2 F2 D2 L2 B2 U2 B D2 R2 U2 R2 F U' F2 D2 L F2 L' B2 Rw' Uw. Solved with white top, green front.

I would say I'm the best in 3x3, but its the only event I calculated a kinchrank for because I was too embarrassed of my other times. I also did megaminx, but it was not good :oops:

You could also add certain subsets such as LL, RU 2gen, cross solved, and many more. There are loads of subsets that people like to drill and this would be helpful.

If you are using OP/OP, the parity alg is the Ra perm. You could use the RUF alg, the RUD version J-Perm mentions in his tutorial here, or any other alg that strikes your fancy. The only thing you need to make sure of is that the 1x2 block comes back to the front-left, for the two I mentioned...

Though it does not provide scrambles for every possible permutation, does it really matter? 10^21 is equal to 1 sextillion, roughly the number of grains of sand on earth. According to a cubeorithms video, we will probably never solve all the possible permutations of a 3x3, which is a measly...
