New edge permutation memo method: Equation (a work in porgress)

[Lotsofsloths]

Try orienting the edges first. Then permute later. You'll have less setup algs to learn for permutation (only 10) as described in PJK's site. Some of these algs are even very intuitive and easy to understand.

Sure it might be slow. But at least you'll get a full successful BLD solve first.

The thing is though, orientation really gets me messed up, I don't know if an edge is oriented or not >.<

All of you guys have good ideas and I'll try to implement them all in my first successful BLD.

What color scheme do you use when solving BLD (e.g. I solve with Top: White and Front: Red). Maybe I can help out.

For example, with White on top and Red on front, here's how I know if the edges are oriented or not. Considering that any edge on your cube will have a white/yellow/red/orange sticker, edges are correctly oriented when:

1. White/Yellow stickers on the U and D layers MUST face either Up and Down respectively.

2. White/Yellow stickers on the middle layer (E layer) must face Left or Right (NEVER Front or Back)

3. Red/Orange stickers on the U and D layer MUST NOT face Up and Down respectively.

4. Red/Orange stickers on the E layer MUST face Front or Back.

Uhhh... if that was confusing (or wrong even :rolleyes, please tell me. I'll give an example scramble. Meanwhile, I've to go study for a test.

MY color scheme is
Green- U
Yellow- F
But are you using the F2B2 group or the R2L2 group?(I think you are using the R2L2)
I personally prefer the F2B2 group. I don't know why.
I understand it completely and I now know what pieces are un-oriented, no its just the permutation >.<
Have any ideas on what method?
Maybe Pochman or Cycle?
I was thinking cycle.

Seriously, stop making so many useless posts.

And please spell poachman as pochmann. Unless you are speaking of someone else, that I do not know.

I back joey up here: Stop talking about bld cubing, just learn it.
