The way to resolve this is to make rules about how your letter pairs interact. Maybe you decide that adjectives only apply to nouns after them, not before. Sometimes you make rules about specific words. One I ran into recently was the word table. I had an attempt that had TB XP (TaBle XyloPhone)...

They have unnecessarily strict restrictions on what moves are allowed, which results in using slower algs just to avoid a particular move. The best thing to do is to go to blddb.net, click either edges or corners, set it to manmade mode, and pick one of the top algs. This shows what top people...

Yes, I have some tips! Do not do that.

I like the idea of doing a weekly comp but these scrambles look physically painful to do, can we just handscramble lol

No chance haha, my PB at home is 26.96. Nicolas and Alexei could both do it though.

Yeah, as ProStar said, you only do parity after doing all of the edges if you have an odd number in total. Also, with OP your memo/exec order don't really matter, but with other methods it can change how you do parity so it's probably a good idea to get used to CEEC (memo corners, memo edges...

It saves like a quarter of a second but if you can do it you might as well. There's nothing to "learn", you just do it. You might not be able to do it if you have a blindfold that isn't adjustable though.

M2 is not too hard to learn and a lot better than OP, but if you eventually want to learn 3-style I'd just jump straight to Orozco. Use UF/UFR buffers and BU/UBR helpers. J perm teaches UR helper but don't do that; it's just harder for no reason.

Definitely not. If you're solving one pair and you can already fully see the next pair, there's no reason to go slower than your peak speed to solve the current pair. Lookahead is not about turning slow enough to completely eliminate pauses, it's just about not looking at the pieces you're...

@EthanMCuber this is a little misleading - this is the probability of being correct if you were to sit down and say "the next three solves will be OLL skip, not skip, and OLL skip". The probability of it happening anywhere in a session of 100 solves or any time in your entire cubing career or...

This is some kind of combination between CEOR and Mehta and the last step is in the neighborhood of 600 algs.

There's a slight regrip you have to do to get your hand into and out of position to do the M turns

Making a letter pair sheet helped me a lot. And there's no way to use partial Orozco and partial OP as they use different buffers (among other problems). It's definitely possible to learn Orozco in one day though. On the other hand, you can use partial Orozco and partial 3-style, which is part...

I wouldn't lie to someone like that - Smart cubes are illegal for use in WCA competitions even if they don't work
