Pyraminx method names

[paulangas]

hi, i use oka (youtube styles) , and i learning algoritms of polishv, but i searching a new method to get a sub 5 official avg ,( i have SAR. avg:5.07)

Dear Odder, it's very annoying that you continue to using name: "Oka method (youtube style)", since Patterson has posted it before Yohei learned what is speedcubing,
Yohei is great speedcuber but he not invented and did not publish this method, such use this name IMO is very unfair to Patterson. Already told you this before, you answered that all they say and hard to no longer speak differently, but it's you have made the name popular.

It's what everyone knows it as. Too late.

but it's you have made the name popular.

I believe there was a Youtube video (not Odder's) with "Oka method." Got about 1000 views, and other tutorials, as this was an example solve, popped up with the name Oka.

Dear Antros, I agree with you that Yohei Oka has NOTHING to do with the inventing of this method, but what so ever, when I came into tetrahedroning it was already mainstream calling it Oka method due to a lot of youtube videos. I will not disagree with you in how annoying it is, but personally I have only heard 2 persons calling it Richard Patterson's method,

Compromise: let's just call it Keyhole again.
- describes the way the method works
- same # of syllables as Oka so it doesn't take longer to say
- not biased against Oka or Patterson
- we can say Keyhole (youtube style) and Keyhole (Oka style) for the two subsets

the (Oka Style) subset is actually a method that I have not seen before I met Mr. Oka. So I think it is fair that that subset is named after him


But let's try rename the (youtube style) to "Keyhole Method"!! =D

Just wondering, you said Polish V has 30 algs but on this website it says 96. Why?

[Tim Major]

That's 96 cases. Unless you count cases that take U/U' to set up as different algs, roughly 30 is correct.

 

[CubingCockney]

Does anyone now where i can find the algs for the methods in here? I solve pyraminx with a crap method and i hate it. I want to get faster!

 

[Zarxrax]

It would be nice if someone could make a list of the polish v algs WITHOUT all the unnecessary ones.

 

[Kirjava]

Centres + Any 3 Edges -> Comm 3 Edges

 

[Raiz]

which one of these should o learn?

Congratulations, you've invented Polish V/L4E. Only a few years late.

I think his post was in response to this:

It's not the same. It's only a subset.

I think his post was in response to this:

I don't think so.

 

[Carrot]

It's not the same. It's only a subset.

It's Tim Major, he thinks everything is Polish V/L4E, he doesn't realize that splitting an approach into different substeps, gives a different feel of the "method"

 

[misieuroo]

Which method do you reccomend to use and do you know of any video tutorials.

1-flip is nice, see what I've just done with 100 solves :

number of times: 99/100
best time: 3.07
worst time: 22.12

current avg5: 6.50 (σ = 1.04)
best avg5: 4.84 (σ = 0.53)

current avg12: 6.94 (σ = 2.15)
best avg12: 5.90 (σ = 1.38)

current avg100: 7.62 (σ = 3.44)
best avg100: 7.62 (σ = 3.44)

session avg: 7.62 (σ = 3.44)
session mean: 7.57

Sub5 ao5 Yeah !

For the tutorial, see odder's tutorial here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbQW9_BCP9o

Hope it helped

I write some articles for WO, Nutella and 1-Flip, maybe you find it useful.
Ofc, you don't understand ukrainian, but I think now it is no problem (try to use google translator or just forget about words and use pictures and algs)

Maybe you have some interesting ideas or methods for pyraminx, I will glad to hear it and share to people.

This is really cool, might have to learn some new pyra tricks :tu

 

[Coolster01]

Thanks! What would I be called if I do keyhole except after the centers I solve the bottom edge? And then L3E on top?

Also, for 1-flip, you said laste not last. Just pointing out a mistake
