One-Answer Puzzle Theory Question Thread

[ch_ts]

I learned how to do 3C and 3E comms. I've been practicing them but sometimes I'll get stuck. How would I solve this with a comm?

The other solution is [B' R2 B, L']

I want to find the best method for solving LL edge orientation by the time F2L is done. Is there a way to do EO during last two pairs?
thanks

The best way is to learn ZBLS, which also isn't too hard to do intuitively (though algorithmic is better)

you could use petrus

 

[Exotic Butters]

you could use petrus

using petrus is a sin

 

[Sub1Hour]

CFOP and Petrus have more in common than any other method (Excluding subsets and minor variations). It's more intuitive and has a lower move count and you do EO before OLL

Can you link the ZBLS algs?

ZBLS

also look up for VHLS, a ZBLS subeset

VHLS sucks

VHLS sucks

you know what else sucks?




COLL (Unless you use CFCE)

COLL

You know what elas sucks?





CFOP




Lol half JK.

VHLS sucks

Why?

 

[ProStar]

Why?

Most of the algs stink(a few are good/okay) and are slow, so the extra recognition isn't worth it

Lol half JK.

Elas? nice try

if you're using it as a stepping stone for ZBLS I don't see the problem,
you have to start somewhere

is the same of saying that coll sucks to someone learning ZBLL

I'm just saying that VHLS sucks in general, not that it can't be used as a stepping stone.

VHLS sucks

More like:
(i) VHLS with bad algs sucks.
(ii) Using VHLS as a substitute for full OLL sucks.

These are both true and indisputable, and are what people usually mean when they say VHLS isn't good. What is not true (or at least, not obviously true) is that VHLS with "good" algs still sucks. I don't think I've ever seen the people who've learnt full ZBLS mentioning that you should just skip learning random chunks of it.

@PetrusQuber Hopefully one day you can achieve sub 8 in comp and create a petrus revolution. I'd love to be proven wrong

You’d love for it to be proven wrong?
