I have a 2x2 LanLan and I stiil have to learn the last algs from Ortega but I'm just too lazy.

 

[MarcelP]

I use 3 x 3 algs. For exampl on the Ortega sheet stands R U2 R' U' R U2 L' U' R' U' L. I don 't like that one. In stead I use R U2 R' U' R U2 L' U R' U which is one of my plls.

Yeah, I do that too I just have to memorize the OLL algs from the 2x2 :S

 

[MarcelP]

All olls are from 3 x 3. In my case

 

[Schmidt]

I think the case you are talking about can be solved with T, J & A perms, depending where the block is.

 

[MarcelP]

Yes, I use a J perm which is one the first PLL's that I learned and is quite fast (even on 2 X 2).

I just received my WitTwo Type C 2 X 2 and it is awesome. China must have come closer to The Netherlands since I ordered it only last week. LOL.

anyway, I did not lube or tention it because I want to brake it in first for a few hundred solves. Allready I love the way it turns.
Here an average of 5 of 11.84 seconds:

Nice, I ordered my wittwo last week, although it got shipped monday, from America yet I think it will take longer than a week for it to arrive xD

Practice the algs to speed them up a notch and I'm sure you'll be rapid

This morning I did an average of 12 on my 3 X 3 and had all sub 40!

Best average of 12: 35.93
35.54 (32.51) 39.39 36.81 33.14 39.18 (39.65) 33.89 35.50 34.84 38.39 32.59

I was like, Wow.. Let's do that again!

And then my first sub 35 happened!

Best average of 12: 34.40
33.73 35.17 36.20 28.81 (28.54) 32.87 32.48 37.14 (42.57) 38.36 36.32 32.96

In these I also crushed my ao5 PB from 34.something to 31.39

Funny thing is that I hardly touched the 3 X 3 this week since I have been messing with my 2 X 2 and 4 X 4 mostly

Oh btw, I solved my first 4 x 4 yesterday. It took me about two hours.. LOL

lol it took me three days nice job

 

[ThomasJE]

Nice! You're definitely improving fast. What brand is your 4x4? Also, I may reconstruct your 2x2 average. You won't get much information out of it though - only TPS and your algs.

EDIT: You did the first scramble wrong; try to check your scramble in the bottom right corner. If you get it wrong, either scratch the solve or solve and rescramble.

 

[MarcelP]

Thanks Thomas,

I will upload 2 X 2 again once I have hit sub 10. Then I would be very interested in reconstructions. But I am not at that stage yet. My 4 X 4 is ShengShou, I love it. I don't know how they can make something that cool for less then 10 dollars..

 

[Endgame]

I don't know how they can make something that cool for less then 10 dollars..

then you obviously don't know there is a ShengShou 5x5 for $9USD

Ordered yesterday

 

[Endgame]

Ordered yesterday

I need to order it too, but I don't feel like right now haha

 

[PeelingStickers]

Mine should be here soon

It's so much easier to do the 3x3 straight after big cubes, as I'm sure you've found out

 

[MarcelP]

Ok, I need some help. I can build the first three layers. I know how to make the yellow cross on top. But then everytime I have two edges that heve two colors instead of one. Is there an easy way to switch the left face yellow/green with the right face yellow/red?

You've messed up during edge pairing. To fix the edges, do this (yellow on F and orange on U)
R' F R (Dw R F' U R' F Dw')
And then do 3x3. Hope this helps.

 

[MarcelP]

Nope, I messed it up.. LOL Do you know a website with a tutorial? Because the vids on Youtube are not helping a lot.

You say ' messed up during edge pairing'. I have a method that makes that I always have two pairs that are not good. I need to have a new method apparently
