Is it okay to put zhanchi stickers on a gans357?

Is it okay to put zhanchi stickers on a gans357?

I don't think so because Zhanchi pieces are very square and the Gans 357 has rounded centers and edges so, unless the stickers are a bit small for the cube they will probably need some trimming on the rounded parts.

 

[Destro]

Yeah,it's kinda small

F2L 3-Gen Fridrich

Hi guys,
I'm trying to find a way to solve CFOP F2L using 3Gen (R,U,L)
I know ZZ method does this, but I'm too stupid to understand EO Line.

Is there any way to solve CFOP like ZZ without EO Line?
P.S: I know how to use lower case moves to not do rotations.

Thanks for everything,
King Mike

 

[TDM]

No, you have to do EO and solve DF+DB to reduce the cube to <R, U, L>.

You're not too stupid. You're just not trying.

Practise.

 

[King Mike]

Ok, thanks TDM....
What's your main method?

 

[Randomno]

Ok, thanks TDM....
What's your main method?

He's method neutral with CFOP and Roux apparently.


The whole point of ZZF2L is to be able to do it with only RUL... If you could do this without EOLine there'd be little point in ZZ.

 

[King Mike]

What method is that? FreeFOP?
If it isn"t i'd like to look into that...

 

[ch_ts]

You could do this:

1. Cross as usual
2. Orient your FR, FL, BR, BL edges
3. F2L using R, U, L
4. OLL as usual
5. PLL as usual

Step 2 can be done 2 at a time using FU*F', F'U* F, BU*B', B'U*B where U* can be U, U2, or U'.

 

[King Mike]

Thanks

Yes, although when I get fast enough with Roux I'm going to switch to that.

Learn full OLL first.

I have a rather strange method of solving a 3x3x3. For the last layer I permute then orient the corners, then permute and orient the edges. I only have 1 algorithm for permuting the LL corners which moves 3 corners and keeps one the same. This way by simply twisting the LL I can permute all four corners with one move unless two diagonal corners need to be switched. Because my method is kind of unique, I am having trouble finding algorithms.

What would the fastest algorithm be for switching only two opposite LL corners that completely ignores the LL edges and the orientation of the LL corners?

You can't switch two corners without affecting edges.

 

[Deleted member 36445]

Is there any scramble generator for just the petrus EO part?

 

[TDM]

1. you can
2. That's not what he was asking. Read the rest of his post.
