Thanks for this. I was wanting to learn this but I didn't know where to start. I hadn't thought about checking the permutation of the corners first. :fp

Yeah, it's probably not the best method, but until I (or someone else) discovers a better method, I'm sticking with this. :)

Give me back my quote. :p
 
I use this in action only for the EPLLs (Petrus Step 7) cases, Z and H perm are only 2-colored and 4 colored corners - Counting colors means counting different SIDE colors of a corner and its adjacent edges.

For U-Perm regcog I just remember:
1) The complete line is always adjacent to the opposit-color colored line
2) If you see 3 colors ... the fourth color is the complete line


The other thing I use after identifying the 3 corner cases, is phasing state: (I know the Phasing behavior of most of my OLL sequnces)

There are 4 PPLs with Edges solved (H A ...) , 5 cases Edges Phased ( T F Z ...), 12 non phased ( J U ...)
Together with Cornercases that provides some good startup seperation.

- easiest: You see two opposit colored edges
- also easy: You see two correcty positioned edges (having both same or opossite color of centersticker ) => [non+phased PLL] or [All Edges solved - just 4 PLLs ]


I try to get better at this be doing a Quiz with my self when ever I stumble about an PLL I don't identify directly. This way I learn by logic, wich makes memorization easier than pure Patten training.

Stachu: Have you seen the excel file that has 2 side PLL recognition, from all sides? If you're interested in including that into your PDF, PM me (I haven't checked out your PDF yet (just downloaded it), so if the PDF includes that, try not to insult me too much :P)

Edit: It looks like you've actually done that, I just somehow misinterpreted what I read. I like how you go and break things down, This should be very useful for me :D:D I kind of wish you could have put orange in there for us standard users, but I should be alright :P Also, in the first section, when explaining H, I feel like a better explanation could have been "When looking at the edges, if they are opposite to the corners that they are in between," the way you worded it made me think about it for a bit :P

Am I really known for insults? hmm.

Anyway, no that's not in there. I've no idea what it is, but send it along. :)

Oh, now I see your edit:
That's fine, and yes, I really should have made that orange. :/
I would go back on this and re-do it, but I've been working on so many other things that this isn't exactly on my priority.

I should be documenting some nice printable ZBF2Ls, revamping CPLS and CLS algs, as well as some documentation on doing EOLL during regular CFOP F2L, with the use of a few ZBF2Ls before too long. :)

No sir, you are not known for insults, it was merely a near joke, kind sir :) I do appreciate this guide, but it will take some time to learn. I'll probably give this a bit of work before the competition next month, and after that I'm not sure when the next one will be so I'll probably concentrate on it then :P I like this guide, you break it down for us pretty nicely :D:D The excel file is more of a brute force method, learn the opposite/adjacent/same relationships for edges and corners through repetition. Your guide actually talks you through it so that we can work it out logically until it becomes more of a reflex :P

Sorry, but yes. My color scheme...sorry...get used to it :p

I'm colorblind, and orange is too close to other colors for me to not change it (virtually and on real cubes).

Sorry for such a late reply, but can you tell me why orange is too close? Are you red/green colorblind? Wouldn't red and green look too similar? I am actually asking because I have a colorblind friend that is red/green impaired and I want to build him a custom speedcube.

The red/green are fine for me for most cubes
but for some, it's horrid. I just found that replacing orange with black works very well for me. :)

(check cubesmith.com for "bright" sticker sets, replacing pink with black)
