How do i solve a domino after reduction? can't figure out how without large numbers of moves

There is a one hour time limit.
You can write down as many moves as you want (but you cannot use a paper with algorithms or a computer program)
You can solve the cube as often as you want during the solve and you can take back moves or do whatever you want
You can even use 3 cubes for experimenting.
But when you finally give your solution it should be written down clearly and you should be able to explain it if a judge ask you about it.
I would have to agree with Per. I am sort of lacking on the cubes now adays. So, in order to have a visual representation of what my premoves should look like I use cube explorer, and apply the premoves like
performing U'L' on cube explorer for example. Then I'll see what I am aiming to solve.
I also write each step of the solution down on cube explorer.
I am not using the solver, just the display and text features of the program.

For those that like to follow the official rules like you have to in official competitions (and are supposed to in our weekly competition) I would recommend to do it without any computer help during the 1 hour. It is very educational to examine better solutions/insertions after the 1 hour though and a computer can be a great help for that.I would have to agree with Per.

I find the CubeExp "flattened" cube horrible to work with. For those who have java installed i can recommend

The CSS is optimised for Internet Explorer and it has 2 cubes!!

What kind of least moves, linear of FMC? In the latter you should use something that can take advantage of insertions, like Heise.what's the main best method for least moves
petrus?

I assume you don't know the difference. In linear solving, you can't take back any moves, so it's similar to speedsolving (at least if you don't use much time). But in Dan's FMC and in official competitions, you have a long time to solve just one scramble and you're allowed to take moves back, rescramble your cube or even use several cubes. There are some techniques -- like insertions, pseudo-blocks, and using the inverse scramble -- that are not as well suited to linear solving.Just least # of movesWhat kind of least moves, linear of FMC?what's the main best method for least moves?
