I lol'ed so hard when Arnaud did the "Hi " part, since knew xchiltonx was a guy. I think this is why everyone should read the member introductions threads. I knew darren was a guy, lives in england, and is a former rubiks magic champ.

as for the topic at hand: This alg, and its variations, are an excellent way to practice a lot of 2-gen fingertricks. you should also look into R U' R' U, its my personal favorite.

Thanks for looking up my introduction,
