I wouldn't count on him even still being interested in cubing these days.

Yeah that can work but a CLL guide allow to learn faster due to all the algorithms being a one place.
Also there is a ELL guide already made by him.CLL guide (after being made) can be combined with the ELL and F2L guides to make an awesome (and as far as I know) CFCE guide cum algorithm sheet.

Thank you so much you look like you have put a lot of effort into this

Does that mean I should better go now and download ALL the guides before he stops paying for the domain and the website goes offline? Because some of them are great guides

The Pdf about 3x3 OLL contains an error. the algorithm for the second case in "Corners Correct, Edges Flipped" (the H-shape) Is not correct. The M' there should be an M for it too work correctly. could anyone edit that ?

I believe the alg is actually correct. Check it out here: (R U R' U') M' (U R U' r')

Hi Andy! Are you still cubing these days? What are you up too? I come not to bury the great wolf but to praise him!
I have been using your guides and have found them to be exceedingly well crafted and the way in which you
organized them to aid in memorization is definitely worth at least one if not multiple kudos. All in all I give your
guides a grade of wicked sick! Hopefully you are still lingering around the grid somewhere. Bad Mephisto
site is down now too so let me know what is going on with you guys. Eye'll be watchin' o_O

Really nice pdfs. But what is the significance of using bold font?
(R U R')

Thank you! They are still due for an update.

The bold font in the F2L algs indicates the move where the two F2L pieces pair up. After this move, you can improvise and place the pair in a slot other than the front right slot or you can improvise with various F2L insertions

Diagram of Permute Edges in the beginner's guide of megaminx is wrong.
Also R U2' R' U' R U2' R' is a much faster algorithm for the third EP case.
Would you like to update?

It would be useful if it also includes the fourth EP case that is missing
R U R' U R U' R' U2 R U2 R'

Thank you for catching that! I updated those algs and also made some improvements to the guide.

Juan Pablo Huanqui helped me make this megaminx guide and it is much better

Hey @AndyK!

I recently developed an interest in OH and I printed out your guide titled "Weston's One Handed Last Layer".

I found that the perm you have labeled as Gc has a missed cube rotation. I was confused when I practiced it just off of the paper because it never worked out for me. I followed the link to Weston Mizumoto's YouTube page, and there I was able to watch him finger trick the perm. He added a y in between the 4th to last move (U2) and the 3rd to last move (r).

This is a very minor detail and it caused no harm, but I just wanted to put this out there in case you want to fix it and spare some people like me a few minutes wondering why their new G-Perm won't work

anyway, thank you for all of the guides!

Thank you for finding this mistake. I updated the PDF with a fix!

It has a ton of pdfs that are a great help. If it works for anybody else please let me know.

It is very possible he decided to stop hosting it. Maybe try and find a link to an email on his website somewhere?

Thanks! This link will work just fine, the PDF's still all work.

@AndyK is here on the forums. Last online a week ago, so maybe he'll have something to say about the website.

Hi @AndyK

I've been carrying around laminated copies of your 3x3 guide for years, since I seem to be on the pace of learning about 1 algorithm per 2 months or more. I'm wondering if you have editable versions that you'd be willing to share? When I find algorithms that I like better, I end up having to make a label and stick it over top of the algorithm that's there.

You can make your own versions of alg sheets from speedcubedb.com (disclaimer: I haven't tried it yet)
