Length of time to learn algorithms?

[Forte]

i still dont get it how most of them i should know... i know like 45 olls almost done. how many clls should i know then?

depends on which ones you know

e.g.

an alg for this OLL case is R' U2 RL U' R' U l U2 R

not only does that alg orient those two corners and two edges, it also swaps two diagonal corners and two adjacent edges (like a Y perm), so the same alg can be used for this CLL case (diagonal L)

R' U2 R l U' R' U l' U2 R
before everyone goes haywire XD

I use y' R U2 R2 F R F' R U2 R'

It's the mirror. I use the one that Sarah posted and the one you posted. Why don't you just start learning CLL? It's not exactly an ordeal.

I use y' R U2 R2 F R F' R U2 R'

So do I, and I use it for both OLL and CLL. It does the exact same thing as the alg Forte and Sarah mentioned. You don't have to use certain CLL algs, just use whatever works (as long as it's "fast", I guess).

K thx anthony. i will use most of yours. How many did you have to relearn after you knew oll for cll, meaning that alg was brand new to you?

24. However, if I really didn't want to learn a whole bunch of new algs (at the expense of speed/movecount), that number could have been ever lower.

 

[oprah62]

Whats the lowest? I know 15 clls

 

[Akuma]

Full PLL took me about 1-2 months, then again I am not a serious cuber in any way.

I am not even going to bother learning full OLL.

 

[eastamazonantidote]

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? 1 month of not-so-motivated work
2.Full oll? 2 weeks of motivated work
3.Full cll? 1 week. Learned after COLL
4.Full coll? 1 week of work dragged over 4 months.

 

[oprah62]

How many clls is that per dayfor u on av?

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

PLL - 2 days
OLL - a few months (I became very lazy, and started trying to figure out my own algs)

 

[DaijoCube]

I learn algs very fast, but if I don't use them, I loose them...

 

[zachtastic]

1. 3-4 days
2. 3-4 days
3. about to start right after I post this.
4. might start if I want to take OH seriously.

For me it only takes about 2-5 minutes to learn an algorithm visually, so long as I practice it a few times every 10 minutes or so for the rest of the day.

 

[Edward]

1. A month
2.Not there yet
3.Haven't started
4.Haven't started

 

[imbatt]

Oh wow, you guys learn algs really fast , i can barely learn one a day. any tips on improving this

 

[Daniel Wu]

1. 8 months...
2. Over a year...
3. 3 months and I kinda gave up (I'll stick with Ortega)
4. Will never try.

 

[oprah62]

is there any link to tell how many cll algs r olls ?

 

[Sa967St]

is there any link to tell how many cll algs r olls ?

Try each CLL alg on a 3x3 and see if it's an OLL. Not everyone uses the same algs.

 

[Kirjava]

1. Don't know it
2. Don't know it
3. idk. I learned it before I got a 2x2x2, it was so long ago.
4. Instantly. I realised that I could derive all COLLs from other algs I knew quite recently.

LOOK AT ME IM SPECIAL

Like which goes to which. ex) ur bowtie was derived from a fish.
sarah: also, my clls mess up the 3x3 some white edges leave the cross.

1. How long did it take you to learn full pll?
2.Full oll?
3.Full cll?
4.Full coll?

1. From first algorithm to last, I'd say 2.5 months (April to July 2009)
2. From first algorithm to last, more like 7 months (From April to October, I'm Senor Lazy Cuber)
3. Haven't started, probably never will.
4. Well, I got one set and forgot it. That took me three days.
