So I was messing around with the cage method today and it got me wondering how many looks and/or moves the centre stage takes for people who use centre last type method for different cube sizes and also how many different (kinds of) algorithms you use for these. It's seems to me that their are...

Just wondering.

We all know that (by now) that God's number for the entire 3x3x3 is 20. Also God's number is known for LL (16) and tripod finish (15). What about e.g. LS+LL or "2x2x3 finish"? Also does there exist a position with all the edges solved that still requires 20 moves?

I was just wondering of what direction people do their insertions in. Personally I do it backward i.e. from the end as I don't have to re-scramble after applying the stickers.

It seems to me that the EO step for ZZ, ZB and Petrus albeit powerful and gives you 1LLL in a resonable(ish) amount of algorithms is the worst step in respective method. Generally speaking EO seems to break to flow of just solving pieces. To me Petrus' approach seems to be the best especially if...

So it struck me that Lars Petrus' approach[1] of combining two COLL/EPLL algs is also usable with OLL algs, eg: Pi7: f R U R' U' f' F R U R' U' F' (P+T OLL). Since there's quite a number of 6-8 move OLL that a CFOP user would know I think this approach has got some potential, but it would...

This might not be an original idea, but I was thinking about doing the last corners of the Roux method together with orienting the edges. If one would learn both COLL and CMLL, you could be able to do all cases with all edges oriented and three flipped on the top. With the latter you could do...

It's said four times in the first 30s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy0Dlf39R4U

I was just thinking of a colour scheme that would look like a pochmann-style super cubes, with the exception that only corners and edges would have multiple colours on each side, instead of the centers. This way you could identify a piece just by looking at one side. On the 3x3 you would be able...
