Orient top 18 degrees = 2 T-perms or 2 Y-perms
Orient top CW and left CCW = M E M' U' M E' M' U
Corners, not centers.

How do you orient corners when they aren't oriented correctly?
In a competition, when you finish the solve do you take the blindfold off and stop it or stop the timer then take off the blindfold.
Stop first, otherwise you get DNF

Technically not true. You only get a DNF if you touch the cube after removing the blindfold. See http://worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/#B5c
Of course people would normally stop the timer first, but mainly because it's faster that way.
I'm getting into MegaBLD , so for the MegaBLD guys out there , how do you adjust your lettering schema ? do you use more letters ( greek ,,,etc ) or do you use 2 letter based System ( AA , AB ,... etc ) ? and if not , then what is the best way in your opinion ?
also , are you using 3 cycle method or 2+2 swap method ( one piece at a time ) ?
I use a 2-letter-based system. But I recommend more letters; I think that is clearly the best way if you can handle it. I've chosen to use an inferior method because I don't want to mess up my cube solving along the way.
I definitely think 3-cycles are worth the trouble if you're going to spend a while doing it; setups are harder, but not all that much more so. I did one piece at a time for quite a while, but have switched back to 3-cycle because it's really quite reasonable to do. I have buffer piece and first extra location on top, then third piece right below it somewhere; you can eventually develop an order for doing this that works pretty well in most cases. It does take more practice to get good at 3-cycles, though.
I actually went to orient-permute for a while, but I definitely gave that up when I started going for gigaminx, since it's not all that helpful there because of all the centers.

Hello. I made my system based on 2 letters describing a single target. A 60^2=3600 image system seemed like way to much work for me for many reasons. I came up with the letters for edges based on the colors on the edge piece. The target would be the first letter and the second color would be the other color on the piece.
so
For corners, I labeled every Piece from A-T(since there are 20 corners) and would put the color letter or the target in front of that.B=Blue
W=White
Y=Yellow
L=Lime
P=Pink
R=Red
V=Violet
O=Orange
S=Silver
T=Tan
G=Green
A=Aqua
so the Lime target on the I piece=LI=LIon.
It may seem too simple, but it was very effortless and it did not require that much effort to learn.
I used Turbo algs from a Megaminx ELL page for edges, but that was too much work to think about so I am looking into how to get good a 1 piece at a time method, in particular, setups to each side of a Turbo case so I have a easier method to fall back on. Corners setups are tough but, straightforward with commutators so I use that.
Good Luck!

How long should one be spending in order to get sub-1 by latest the end of summer?

There was a point accordint stopping the timer and taking off the blindfold starting here.
I have an additional question to that.
What if I stop the timer, take off my blindfold and see that the time is still running because I didn't stop the timer correctly and stop it then.
DNF or only lost some time?
What kind of question is that?
Can you make it a but more specific? Otherwise my answer is: Untill the end of summer
