Hey there.
The title pretty much says it all (hopefully). Anyway, I've been practicing pyraminx for about a week and my average has quickly dropped from 11 to around 8. I can get the first two edges somewhat quickly. The centers at the bottom... need work. But what really throws me for a curve is the last 3 edges. I find the 3 cycles that are already oriented to have easy recognition. The 3 cycles where two edges need to be oriented throw me a bit. I'm not sure why, but recognition is a pain. So...

How do you recognize that last 3 cycle???
 
I put the oreinted edge in the up left postion and look at the top
right. If it needs to go to the bottom I do R' L RL'. If the edge in the top right goes to where the oriented or is do R U'R'U
