Length of time to learn algorithms?

[nitrocan]

The more algorithms you know, the easier it is to learn more since most algorithms are fingertrick friendly and that way more intuitive to execute if you have more experience. That is, to a certain degree. Recognition can get tricky for algorithms affecting similar cubies.

Full PLL-Altogether ~1 week
Full OLL- ~3 weeks
Full COLL- ~2 weeks

What!? It took me about 3 months in total to learn full Fridrich.

PLL: 4 days
OLL: haven't known yet. iam still using 2-look
CLL: In progress. May be a couple of days
COll: maybe by the time i die ( lazy learner)

 

[nitrocan]

Maybe I'm too slow at learning. It usually takes about a week to completely learn and adapt to using a new set of, lets say 5 F2L algorithms for me.

Hey guys I just wanna see how my pace is going, so please tell me which applies:
1. How long did it take you to learn full pll?
2.Full oll?
3.Full cll?
4.Full coll?

People don't necessarily learn these things in isolation so it's hard to compare, especially CLL and COLL. CLL goes with ELL. COLL goes with VHF2L.

And then you get more experienced as you learn more so you learn faster as you learn more, it's not like everytime you start from scratch. Like if you already know full OLL and PLL, COLL becomes easier. If you learn COLL before OLL, OLL becomes easier. Why does it matter anyway?

So it is easy to learn cll in a week?

Dude CLL has 42 algs. It'll probably take a month to learn them.

I learned it in a few days

 

[yoinneroid]

Plenty of people here learned all 2x2 CLL in less than a week as well

 

[waffle=ijm]

I did a subset a day for CLL...so... a week.

 

[DeeDubb]

I did a subset a day for CLL...so... a week.

I did 2 subsets of CMLL a week, so about a month.

 

[PJKCuber]

I learned it in a few days

How?? Can you tell me? I want to learn CLL once I get my 1st 2x2 and after I sub 5 with ortega

It's not like there is a trick. Just put the effort in. In any case, you may already know a lot of CLL algs as they are common 3x3 OLLs.

^^ nailed it. I knew at least two of every set in the first place to influence PBL.

Full PLL took me about a week, because I made an effort to learn like 3 or 4 today.

Other alg subsets I never really made an effort to learn methodically, I kinda just picked up algs for cases I didn't like the way I was previously doing them.

OLL probably took me 2 or 3 months to learn the majority (40 something)of it. After then I picked up algs as I came across them, and I probably learned all the remaining in another 2 or 3 months.

I have looked through coll algs and learned most of them, but I didn't use all of I only know the 15-20 I use now.

I know all CLL sans 2 u cases, I started learning them about two months ago.

Dude CLL has 42 algs. It'll probably take a month to learn them.

I knew about 10 of learn beforehand, but I learned about 35 more algorithms on a single plane flight (Toronto -> Taipei). They weren't the best, and I ended up relearning eight cases or so.

 

[10461394944000]

full pll: a month or so iirc
full oll: 6 years and counting
full cll: about a week for all but 1, then I learned the last one 3 years later

 

[Renslay]

Dude CLL has 42 algs. It'll probably take a month to learn them.

I learned them in about two weeks when my average (on 3x3x3) was about 40s.

 

[MadaraMangekyou]

i can learn around 1 OLL per day... or maybe 2 if I apply to it... for PLL the same...

 

[WinterCub3r]

full OLL and PLL took me 2 months.
