OLL PLL

[CubeAddict]

Why do some people memorize only part of the OLL and PLL algs? what if a design comes up that they didn't memorize that alg for?

They memorize pieces as they go to get lets "looks" on the last layer. A 3LLL for example takes 3 algs. to solve it. A 4LLL takes 4. For example, you may orient edges, orient corners, permute corners, permute edges, which is 4 steps.

Basically, the more algs you learn for the LL, the less steps it will likely take you to solve the last layer.

Maybe because its difficult to memorize all of them in one go!

you can use other algs for fixing up cases you dont know. ie in the beginners method this is what you do when you wanna fix up the U face.
it just takes more steps (looks)

ie. I have learned all the corner OLLs. this way I know I can always do the OLL at least with a set-up move.
