My 4x4 Method

[robosariobo777]

I would like to apologize first because, i know many of you would encourage this would be good on the one answer question thread. I personally dont like it, so i apologize in advance
Anyway, I was wondering what the name of the method i am using for my 4x4 is. I start with getting my 2x2 centers on each side. I then move on to pairing up 2 edge pieces to make 1 pair at a time and bring down a unsolved pair in the top. From there it is basically a 3x3..(cross, , oll, pll, etc)

Reduction. And yes, you really should have posted this in the one answer question thread.

I disagree, he shouldn't have posted it at all.

So you're saying he shouldn't ask questions at all; even in the 1AQT?

Come on now, don't be like that!

its the most common method for solving bigcubes and its the method that the world record holders use..

and what do you mean you dont like the one answer one question thread?? thats where little questions like this go...

 

[robosariobo777]

Why do you think there are 1500 posts and that it's stickied?

People ask questions and people get answers.

 

[robosariobo777]

What does stickied mean?

 

[hawkmp4]

A stickied thread appears at the top of the topic list, regardless of when the last post was made. This ensures it's always visible.

Don't worry about it, robosariobo777. It's really not a big deal where you post. Don't be discouraged at all by them.

Not to be rude, but you've posted only one question in that thread.

hello, my magic is in a 2x3 position, yet the fourth will not fold out. it is in the three ring posistion but isnt going out

I believe your question was not answered because
1. It was phrased rather poorly
2. It was the last post of a page on the thread
3. Right after you posted it, a fight broke out between oprah and jackdexter, and it probably got lost then

Give it more of a shot, because making threads for these questions isn't the answer

Not to be rude, but I'm just trying to instruct

Solving a magic from a scrambled position is quite a complex question and the creation of a thread for it would have been perfectly fine.

Not to be rude.

Clarification:
I didn't mean to admonish the OP. I just meant to point out that it is indeed a useful resource.

Hah! I was able to reproduce your Magic problem.

...now to actually solve it.
Try to get to a a 2x1 stack of four layers. Then play around with that. That's how I got into the mess.

I'm not sure if you're mocking me or actually being serious, so I won't comment on it.

I wasn't specifically referring to the scrambled magic question, but that you can't judge a system based on one sample. The one question/answer thread WAS made for a reason, and while I personally could care less about threads like this being made, it seems some other people take it as an offence to their mother, and get really bashy. Also, it's just so much more convenient and efficient to use the 1Q1A thread.

Yeah, I was questioning whether to put that or not. But I was serious, no real mocking intended.

I try not to be affected by the actions of the silly.

Alright guys..well feryll, i made that most when i wasnt much into cubing and i had just learned magic. And it was phrased poorly...but thanks patrick, cuz i guess it doesnt matter too much
