BLD HELP!!! (Help With Pochmann Method)

[KubeKid73]

Because its hard to figure out where all the pieces are going, so I actually do it on another cube and then write it down for my memo.

 

[Gparker]

oh okayjust practice and itll get easier

 

[KubeKid73]

Really? Okay...

 

[Gparker]

well im not completely understanding your question so all i can say is practice

lol

Why don't you just look at the centers?

 

[Gparker]

exactly tim!

if you have a set color scheme you should know where every color is

i use white top, red front. by that i know green is on left, blue is on right, and yellow on the bottem

 

[KubeKid73]

Okay I'm confusing. Its hard to remember which pieces I already "moved" in the memo.

 

[Gparker]

you mean setup moves? or when your at the end and you have to break into a new cycle and you dont know if youve already done all the other edges?

 

[KubeKid73]

Yes, when I break into a new cycle.

 

[Gparker]

ahhh i see what you mean now, i had that problem but my first ansewer is all that can help, the more you practice, the more youll know, the equation
#items = (#wrong cubies) + (#cycles) - 2 will certinly help. or you could keep your finger over an edge youve already done

I actually have never done that formula in BLD. I just take the number 11 for edges, 7 for corners. For each correct piece (even if its flipped) I subtract 1. Then, I make sure that all the others add up to the remaining number, and breaking into a new cycle, the first piece doesn't count double.

 

[Gparker]

i havnt etheir, i dont even know it by heart because knowing becomes automatic, i just gave it to him for help

 

[KubeKid73]

Okay. I just got a great one. I was only like 3 corners off, and two were oriented wrong. (I forget how to memo if you need to do that.) And two edges were switched. I think it was because I had parity. What is the exact alg that you do for parity?
EDIT: And memo was only 9 minutes and I was doing stiff here during it. And solving was only 7 minutes. If I tried to, I could probably get maybe under 10-13 minutes.

R Perm. When I used old pochmann, I did this:

y R U2 R' U2 R B' R' U' R U l U R2 F x y'

 

[KubeKid73]

Eff. I've been using the one that Eric says. R U2 R' U2 R B' R' U' R U R B R2 U.

 

[byu]

That's the same one that I use, except mine has a double layer turn that speeds it up a little (in my opinion)

 

[KubeKid73]

They're not the same. Mine cycles the corners and edges clockwise and yours switches these /| The edges / and the corners |.

 

[Gparker]

you memo mis oriented corners by remembering c and a

A=anti clockwise
C=clockwise

Edit: BYUs R was the exact same as erics R

 

[KubeKid73]

I thought there was some equation for it. Oh well.

 

[Gparker]

yea lol, youll get it next time
