7x7x7 last two centers help.

[pjk]

Hey Alex. I can always get down to 1 or 2 pieces left to swap (on each of the 2 remaining faces), then I use a comm. to do a 3 cycle with those 2 pieces, or 2 comm. to get all 4 pieces solved. I always do my last 2 centers adjacently, and the comm. are pretty easy for the most part. I build all centers by building 1x5 blocks mainly, and it works pretty good I think. There may be a better way to do this, but I want to practice it a lot before I try something else.

pjk, what is your typical time for centers? I use the exact same method as you, so I'm curious how fast you are with it. It takes me 6 to 8 minutes typically at the moment - way too slow, but I don't know how much of that is my recognition and movement, and how much is the method.

My centers are like 6 minutes. I only done 2 timed solves, so it isn't representative too much. I think after about 5 more solves, I will be sub-5 or maybe sub-4 centers.
