About OLL's

[arckuss123]

do i have to learn everything single OLL?

thanks

 

[ConnorCuber]

No .

 

[arckuss123]

which ones do i have to learn the most?

 

[Faz]

See, I don't even understand the question.

Yes, you do have to learn every single OLL eventually, if you plan on getting faster.

 

[arckuss123]

ok
go on msn feliks, we'll talk

Many algorithms are similar and some are just the reverse of a different algorithm, so 57 sounds more than it actually is.

Learn the seven corners only cases. Use F R U R' U' F'. To get all the edges oriented if you don't have them already. I'll let you figure out how.

P.S. Search function.

 

[arckuss123]

yes , please show me

 

[JTW2007]

Show you what? The 7 corners only OLLs? How to orient edges with F R U R' U' F'? How to use the search function? All of them?

 

[Novriil]

JTW2007 gives You 2-look OLL That's what I use.
F sexy move (x2 when needed) F'

or when all the edges are not oriented, then F sexy move F' f sexy move f'

and learn those corner cases now.

 

[JTW2007]

Really though. All you need is the sexy move.

Sorry, I had to.

For the 2 alg OLL, the algs are F R U R' U' F'. You use this to orient the edges.
To orient the corners, you use sune, which is R U R' U R U2 R'. I think there is a site to learn about this. http://www.ozcubegirl.com/rubikscubesolution.html

That site says to orient edges, then permute corners, but I would suggest orienting everything, then permuting everything.

For permuting the LL, you only need 2 algs. One is a 3 corner cycle, and the other is a 3 edge cycle.
First you try to line up exactly one edge with the same color middle piece, turn the cube so it is in the back, and then do the alg: F2 U R' L F2 R L' U F2

If there are always 2 edges that are in the correct place, then just do the alg from anywhere, and there will be only 1 correct.
Once you have only 1 correct, then you might have to do the alg twice.

Once you permute the edges, then you permute the corners, using the alg: X R' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 R2. This does a 3-corner cycle.

First you line up the edges so that they all match up, and then look for a corner that is correctly solved. IF you have one, then position that corner so it is in the bottom left of the top face, and do the alg. You may have to do it twice. If there are no corners correctly placed, then do the alg from any position, and one will be placed.

So this is the PM that I got from soccerking a LONGLONG time ago about 4-LLL. I understood it.

 

[JTW2007]

I'd avoid only using sune. The other algs aren't bad at all. Except maybe headlights.

I got sub-30 with those and I know those others are useful but at the first they can do it too.

 

[JTW2007]

Yeah, I don't think you could go wrong learning anything, but I think that all 7 algs would be a better use of time. It's really arckuss's call though. Both should work fine.

 

[arckuss123]

what 7 algs? srry

thanks

 

[elcarc]

2 look oll is pretty qick when you learn all the algs

Beginner's Section maybeh?
And stop asking questions if you're not going to listen to the answers

First 7 OLL's
There, now stop asking and use the search function and correct forum next time :fp

learn two look or intuitive zbf2l with no algorithms.
