COLL Notation

[alexc]

I was wondering what all those letters on certain corners meant. Does it somehow specify orientation and permutation?

 

[Lotsofsloths]

I've had the same problem >.<
I'm averaging 27ish and wanna learn some COLL so...yea.

You can ignore them, it's just a cumbersome way to recognize CP for those who enjoy memorizing things.

I find it much easier and more natural to simply find out which corners (if any) need to be swapped. At first it's difficult, but with some practice you'll be able to do it instantly from any angle. You'll also understand what you're doing, which is very useful if you want to, for example, use pseudo-blocks in F2L or learn ZBLL.

Well, how do you READ the notation though?
what does a red bar mean?
what does R, F... mean

 

[Lofty]

A red bar is kinda like the yellow bars on OLL pages.
the letters show which side the sticker shown should be on. I don't memorize the specific colors and letters just the relationship of the colors. Like whether they of the opposite side or an adjacent side.

I like it better when they just have an arrow pointing to the two corners that the alg swaps.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Lol, same here, could you link me to a site that has that?
the oneI'm talking about is cubewhiz.com

 

[alexc]

I don't know any site that has that.

The letters refer to the color sticker.

But COLL sucks in my opinion.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

That still doesn't really explain it..
What does F R B L mean?
What do the arrows mean?
What purpose do the colors serve?

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

The arrows show how the corners should be permuted so that every corner is in their correct place.

I don't understand what the letters/colors mean, though...

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Grr.. We need someone who uses COLL..

You can email me at [email protected] and I will give you the document that Jason gave me for COLL. Its real simple and easier to understand for me.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Ok, I emailed you
