For edges, I sometimes solve cycles with M2 (like DF->DB->RB)
x [M' U2 M, D'] x'
(I know you don't like z L' U M U' L2 U M' U' L' z')

Cue is a pool cue that my Dad got for me for my birthday when I was younger. The cue is possessed and the tip of it stabs at the adjacent image, causing a surprising amount of damage (piercing/stabbing damage).
For Quiet I picture a librarian sitting behind a desk and shushing the adjacent images. This is particularly funny when a violent or sexy image is happening right next to the librarian. I picture the librarian having an impassive face, and shushing the adjacent images quite loudly
Does anyone know what is the least number of solved pieces you can get on 4x4 centres through reorientation?
I need a nice algorithm to orient UF and UR (or UF-UL, UL-UB or UB-UR) please
freestyle = BH? :O
which one is better for edges? visual or letter pairs?
I thought of this a few days ago but always forgot to try it out in a solve. Those who use commutators for big cube centres (I'm thinking of 4x4 but it should apply to bigger cubes) typically use floating buffers, and so do I. But I find myself thinking quite long when not using my usual buffer (Ubl). Then it dawned on me - if your buffer is solved, instead of using a different buffer position why not just adjust the U layer so the new buffer is in your buffer position (eg if Ubl, Ufl, and Ubr is solved, do a U2 before solving centres)? When done with centres, simply undo the setup move. Does anyone else use this? It seems like a decent idea to me. The only disadvantages I can think of are:
1. Forgetting to undo your setup move (probably can use your feet to remind you that you need to undo a setup)
2. Needing to adjust the memo when U layer pieces are involved (which I assume won't be too hard to do, but is easy to forget during memo)
edit: this should probably go into the random BLD discussion thread, but I think these two threads are quite similar and should be merged though.
