Scottish Cuber’s alg is nice. Here’s a different one I came up with a few weeks ago, flows well: (L U2 [L' r'] U) (L U' r) U2 L' Start with left thumb on top, right thumb on front. Do [L’ r’] as one simultaneous move. Use right ring finger to push the U, and left index for the U’. EDIT: Same...

@Arkwell Thanks - glad it's helping! PM me on here if you like, or use the contact info from the back page of the document. Cheers!

If you want to be able to compare all angles of your G perms with other similar-looking angles of other PLLs, check out the "PLL 2SR" link in my sig.

Hi - check my sig line for my PLL alg guide. YMMV - I got a lot of feedback - some people love it, others don't care for it (fair enough). Anyway, it contains algs for all 84 PLL angles (some of which are for completion rather than use/speed).

@Berd - Glad it's of some use! @JustKidding - Thank you for catching that - I had a page in a much earlier version, and it got dropped by accident at some point. I've updated the file to V1.1 - it includes a "Finger Abbreviations" page, accessible from the contents page. You are indeed correct...

@Christopher Mowla & @ViolaBouquet - You're most welcome. Thanks for the logo feedback too, Christopher. @A Nonconformist - I went through a lot of algs for each case & angle in the document to find the ones that work best for me, and did try out the one you've offered above. For me, it is a...

@GuRoux & @United Thought - Thanks! @mark49152 & @ pdilla - yep, definitely not every one is worth learning, other than for completion's sake. I do hate AUFing, so I'm trying to break the habit by learning extra algs. As I mention in the document's intro, some people will only find learning one...

You're welcome. I should have notedabove that while I did come up with many of the algs and/or variations of algs, I don't for a moment think I'm likely to be the only person to have come across them - just because I hadn't encountered them before doesn't preclude them existing already. :)

Last night, I finished putting together a downloadable PLL guide, with algorithms and performance notes for all 84 angles. It's a PDF containing internal hyperlinks for nonlinear use. The algs I curated are a combination of: (a) algs I've come up with, either on my own or by using Cube...

In addition to the excellent and very fun cube illusions, your performance itself was superb (pacing, presentation, speaking rate & clarity, personality, etc.). Well done!

For completeness: FR & BR : B (R U R' U')3 B' FR & BL: B' (R U R' U')3 B And so FR + FL can be done: L2' B' (R U R' U')3 B L2 ... Which is awkward, so start with right thumb on top, and use left index for the F' and do: r2' F' (R D R' D')3 F r2 ... Pro: It's regripless, and you can...

I do U2 with right index followed by right middle; I do U2' in a single move with left index, pushing BUL to FUR and lifting it over the top layer (iirc single flick doubles are called Eido moves). The U2' is faster than my U2. I hadn't ever got the hang of Eido U2 with right index, but...

I do the S'. I start the alg with right thumb on DR sticker and right middle+ring on UR and URB, using righty index to flick the initial F and 1st U. At the end of ... F (R U R' U') ... I shift the right fingers back, so that thumb is on DRB and middle is on URB, and shift the left index to...

1. Try Best Buy if you have one nearby. They have an RC section, and usually stock parts and lube: http://tinyurl.com/m5f6lv2 ...it is 30wt shock oil. I use it, and it works fine. It's pretty thin and runny. Product page at...

I have to agree - I prefer it over my Aolong V2 "enhanced" version. ("Enhanced" because I have no idea whether I really got sent the enhanced one that I ordered). The Guanlong holds its shape better, is lighter on my wrists, no corner twists so far and sufficiently low pressure on the slices for...

Heh, thanks! I nominate the OP for weirdest post of the year.

It's probably somewhere between 1 & 2. When you consider the cost of a cube, keep in mind that each business along the way has to cover its costs and make enough to make it worthwhile selling the cube(s). As nice as the whole line that's been repeated a few times about Moyu being super-kind...

I had a stock of Guanlong cubies, and would be happy to work out a deal with you on the last few pieces that I have available. I have 8 corners left, 12 edge pieces, 6 centers (caps available separately for $0.35 each), and a core (bonus - set of four screws, springs and washers included for...

Thanks TDM - I always appreciate your contributions on here!

F2L - To swap 2 edges in adjacent slots *and* flip them both: Put both bad edges on the left side of the cube [if necessary using a setup AuF (as in u, not U) or an E-slice move] and then do a wide E perm: x' (r U' r' D) (r U r' D') (r U r' D) (r U' r' D') ...this will leave both slots'...
