why wouldn't that apply to clock? to be good at most puzzles, you need good lookahead.

yes, I applied that to clock and got a sub-20 solve

switched to the Yau method on 4x4 but I'm still using the Reduction method on all other NxN's

I am sub-20 on Clock now!
New Clock PB single 17.766!!
dang improvements are really quick on Clock
another Clock PB single 15.797!!

I'll be working on pattern recognition on the PLL's today

i find that pll recognition is something that comes with time, so maybe do that as a long term thing rather than just today

Ayooo Melvin! How have you been doing with 4x4? Any advice for a new 4x4 solver?

I had just switched to the Yau method, so I'm now working on getting used to it

Last week I was first in 4BLD for a bit, despite getting DNF, DNF, DNF (which is normal)

wow I'm getting better with the Yau method on 4x4

I really should learn it...

Learn it my times have dropped from 2:00 to 1:20

I believe that would happen to me too when I get a good 4x4. Now, my 4x4 is very locky.

testing insert math function
\( 2+2=5 \)
\( \frac12=0.5 \)
\( x+2x=3x \)
\( x+y=36 \)
\( 2^9=512 \)
\( 2^{10}=1 024 \)
\[ \frac{8!\times3^{7}}{24} \]
\[ \frac{8!\times3^{7}\times12!\times2^{11}}{2} \]
\[ \frac{8!\times3^{7}\times24!\times24!}{24\times4!^{6}} \]
\[ \frac{8!\times3^{7}\times12!\times2^{11}\times24!\times24!\times24!}{2\times4!^{6}\times4!^{6}} \]

yes, it saves big rotations and helps lookahead, which is very important on 4x4. After switching to it in May and learning 3-2-3, my average went from 1:35 to sub 1 in 2 months

oh I'll definitely learn 3-2-3!

Starting from today, I will be learning OLL algorithms daily.
OLL learning today:
OLL 6
r U2 R' U' R U' r'
This OLL should be easy to memorize.
