[Member Intro] Nice to meet you!

[Fischlein]

Hallo everyone,

I am Fischlein, which means a small fish in Germany.
I started solving the Cube as i found my mothers old rubiks Cube she had solved in the 80s. I did the first layer, then she gave me an old Page from a magazin with a solution ("Spiegellösung", the germans here have probably heard about it). I had fun solving it, espacialy in the train when i went to university. I bought a 4x4 and 5x5. The later i like more because the lack of pairity problems. I wasn't really fast but i liked to be able to solve it. Time went by and i somewhat forgot about this Hobby until my 3-year-old found my Cube and asked if i could make it "right" again. I was wondering how He knew that there is a state which ist right and if i could still solve the cube without looking at a solution first. I had some problems and it took me some tries, but then i could work it out. Because i always want to do things good, i looked up a solution to be able not to try, but to really solve it again. Thanks to freshcuber, your beginners solution is really efficient and your page a good starting point for CFOP, espacially when you prefer text over videos, like I do.
I became somewhat addicted in getting faster, so i bought myself a speedcube (MoYu RS3M 2020) and started learning new algorithms. I do 2 look OLL and 1.5 look PLL (still no G perms). I don't have much time for practicing, so i learnd that stuff first, which made me faster with little effort.
My PB is 31.5 (of course a lucky scramble, but a computer generated one) and my average is somewhere between 40 and 45. My goal is SUB 30.
I really like this hobby, because it is a great way to both relaxe and give yourself a challenge.
I own a pyraminx, too. As i solve it on my own, without instructions, i am not very fast though. And my wish for Christmas is a Megaminx.

It's nice to meet you.
Happy cubing

Hello and welcome to the speedcubing community!

Yo welcome to the forum.

Herzliche Grüsse aus der Schweiz,
Meinen Anfang habe ich zwar mit der Anleitung gemacht

Zauberwürfel einfach lösen: Anleitung

Zauberwürfel Trend: Mit dieser Anleitung für Anfänger, schafft ihr es garantiert, den RubiksCube zu lösen! Meine Kinder sind jedenfalls total begeistert!

www.moms-blog.de

Danach, F2L, PLL und OLL habe ich aber ebenfalls grösstenteils von @freshcuber.de gelernt.

Für alle deutschsprachigen kann ich die Seite sehr empfehlen

Ok, back to english ;-)
Freshcubers Method for the G-Perms, to hold the Headlights and use the same Algorithms forward an Backward is really clever and not that hard to learn ;-)
The advantage of learning the G-Perms is that it save you an extra step in PLL. Ignore the Pictures where the pieces are changed and just remember the Headlights left and a 2-bar on the opposite side.
If you look at the algs, it's always the same alg.

Ga (block down) -> (R'2 U R' U R' ) (U' R U' R2) (D U' R') (U R D') <- Gd (block right down)
Gc (block up) -> (R2 U' R U' R ) (U R' U R'2) (D' U R) (U' R' D) <- Gb (block right up)

Gd is the same like Ga, just reverse. (read it from the back), Gc/Gb are the same mirrored (R instead of R', U instead of U')

For Ga, Gc you can read the alg from left to right, for Gb, Gd, read it right to left.
Ga and Gc Start to the direction of the side block and if the R Layer turns clockwise, the U Layer turns counterclockwise, then you change directions but keep the same rule. If you change to the third block you keep the direction of th U layer but change the R Layer.

In the backwards direction you start to turn from the block to the gap and turn U and R layer to the same direction first

Maybe a little hard to explain but with this method I could learn the GPerms quite fast and because of the easy rules i could still remember them when I learned OneHanded.
If you do a Ga you get the Gc, so you can learn them together and just reverse the alg to get back.

Greatings to Switzerland,

Thanks for your explanation. It always helps me a lot if algorithms have some kind of rhythm.
That does motivate me to go foreward and leard them finally. Let's see how long it will take me.
