ambidextrous FTW! im not fully ambidextrous (yet), but i can do all the algs almost the same speed with both hands. were you born ambidextrous or did you learn how?
Do you know all OLLs?

I learned maybe 50 of the OLLs but currently I only remember something between 30 and 40.
I used a series of german youtube videos which promissed to learn full OLL in 30 days. The videos are good, but my motivation wasn't...

Do you mean OLLs? There are only around 20 PLLs!

I learned all OLLs in about 1 month,learning 2 per day isn't too much,especially when there are so many easy and mirror cases ! Now I'm learning to do the OLLs in different angles,but the more you learn,the easier it gets!

nah i just meant for cubing LOL. im not truly ambidextrous.
but i can probably say i'm more ambidextrous than the average person. however, i'm born right handed and i play soccer, basketball, tennis, badminton, you name it! all right handed
i spin pens right handed, i play and deal cards left handed, i bboy left handed (like most people), i can snap just as hard with both hands, my left leg has better balance.
oh and i can write and colour with my left hand pretty well, just not as well as my right hand though. it's slower, but it's more legible than most people's writing LOL.
i do a whole bunch of everyday tasks with my left hand, like brushing my teeth (switched to right hand a while ago though).
i also push my hair to the side with my left hand, no matter which way my hair needs to go. when i type one handed my left hand is better. i cube left handed even though it means mirroring my 2H algs. but i've used right handed algs long enough to be comfortable seeing them that way.
i snowboard "goofy" or right foot forward, and im not sure if that means i'm left legged or right legged for that.
anyway, for cubing i learned mirrors cause they were easier and naturally both hands were good. at some point i had a right handed Y perm and left handed T perm for no reason at all. and i only practiced it that way with those specific hands. weird.
anyway i learned to cube from dan brown, so his sexy move R' D' R D was equivalent to z2 L' U' L U so my left sexy move was always my faster and more natural one. that's why i switched to full lefty even though i'm a right hander.

I'm actually quite pleased with all my algs, having learnt some really nice ones from Breandan and Amos, and from almost all sides too. It's fun to learn algs, and the more you know, the easier it is to remember them.

For me, its not the learning the alg that i have a problem with. I can memorize an oll alg in 5 mins. I can even have it down to muscle memory within 3-4 days of doing it a few times a day. My problem is incorporating them into my solves, or programming that muscle memory to respond to actually getting the case. the extra second or two I take to do that makes me not want to actually want to use the alg since it will be faster in the short run. I currently have like 2 or 3 algs sitting on the "doorstep" so to speak that I never actually use to solve. one was on the doorstep for like 6 months before i finally started using it (a couple days ago)...
And honestly, i have no clue how many i know. Theres no motivation of "okay only 10 more..."

I know all pll and oll. I feel like the more algs you know the easier they're to learn. When i started cubing it would take atleast a day to have an alg in my muscle memory. Now 4 years later, i can have a alg down in muscle memory in probably 2 minutes. I probably know over 250 algs, most of which i can't even name, they just come to me as the cases do.

I know all OLLs and PLLs, but most of my OLLs suck.

Yes. A few of my algs are terrible and I slowly replace them with better ones.
The dots are surprisingly easy to learn and I got them over and done with 1st to avoid 3 algs for OLL.
I think all but 3 dot cases I use variations of FRURUF twice.
I still need to learn Dot OLLs, right now I just use sledgehammer if no edges are oriented.

OLL was one of the first things I learned when I learned Fridrich. It's taken me a very long time of switching an alg here and there, to be completely happy with all of my algs. Now, I even have more than one alg for some cases that I used to hate, and can't decide which one to stick with. And Rowe, are you serious, or just joking?? I would've thought for sure you knew full OLL.
Total noob question, how does being ambidextrous cut OLL cases in half?

Because there are mirror cases? Can't give it to u more straight forward than that.

I'm currently at 23/57 and I'm working on learning them at a rate of ~1/day. I'm taking it slow though as I'm having troubles remembering the patterns. Not the algorithms themselves, but when to perform a specific OLL.
So..... If you're not ambidextrous you end up with 114 OLL cases + AUF?(Yup I can get dumber than that!)
