Prisma puzzle timer does this:
But it's a program you download, not a website, so it may not be what you're asking for. But it's still a great timer.

Has anyone ever learned an algorithm without a cube? I dont have a cube right now and am wondering if it is possible.

Yep, I'm sure Dan (kinch2002) has found a BLD parity alg without a cube. Too lazy to find the exact thread, could be in this one or the Official BLD Algorithm one

Someone should tell their child a cool story, which will be a cube memo sequece in disguise, and once the child turns 10 or something reveal the secret.
Maybe have the scrambled cube be a treasure chest cube or something (with the stickers removed!) so it will open and reveal a gift.

Basically I have to look at an alg and learn it. Then preform the alg without looking at it? Brb.

Done.

Progeny delayed solve? Memorize a cube, tell your child a bedtime story corresponding to the memo enough that they know it by heart, and once they're old enough to be able to do BLD, have them try to solve the cube you've been storing, using the bedtime story memo...

Exactly!

I have a question: what do you do when you take the cube-cover off and you see that one or both of your (edge and/or corner) buffer(s) pieces are in the buffer position?

You have to shoot to another piece to start a new cycle.

Yes, but does starting with the buffer piece in the buffer position affect parity? That should have been my question. For example, if corners are normal, and have an even number, but edges have an odd number because of the buffer piece, what do I do?
tseitsei

Impossible. Corners and edges always both have either even or odd number of targets. I mean if edges are odd --> corners are odd and if edges are even --> corners are even. If they are odd you have parity. Starting position of buffer piece(s) is totally irrelevant...

The chances of parity are the same, even if your buffer pieces are solved. Unless you fancy having a floating buffer and learning a whole bunch of algs for each one then you'll just have to grit your teeth and break into a new cycle as normal.

Hmm...OK then, my memo must have been wrong. (Nice avatar Ollie, by the way.)

Sorry for maybe some dumb questions but:
1: After m2: Advanced m2 or Turbo?
2: for 4bld, what ist the best execution order?
3: is it better if I chose my memo for one language? At the moment I use english/german
4: for mbld: loci method? And can I also use loci for 4bld?
I average around 2:30

My OPINIONS only:
1. Advanced M2 and you can easily and little by little move to more 3-stylish and less M2ish method untill you use full comms. That's what I did.
2. There isn't best order. My order is corners wings centers but also centers first seems to be quite popular.
3. I still use part english part finnish memo since some letters are hard to come up with good words in finnish and it works fine for me...
4. Yeah for MBLD definitely loci/journey and letter pairs. For 4bld loci/journey is quite good also

1. Advanced m2 is good and it will be easier to Switch to 3style.
2. Try out some orders and see what's the best order for you. My order is centers wings Corners
3. Other languages can be helpful, so I would not stick to one language (I memo in 5 different languages)
4. Loci is great for mbld and you can use it for 4bld as well if you want to

I have a question. Would it be worth it to switch my buffer to UBR from UBL to start learning the BH 3-styles? I can't find a 3-style list with ULB as the buffer. I would like to learn 3-cycles for 4BLD, faster 3BLD, and hopefully eventually 5BLD but can't figure out how to do them with my UBL buffer. Also, I don't know if this is important or not, but my lettering scheme is the same as Noah's. Everything I do in BLD is a replica of Noah's, except of course for the 3-cycles. I use M2/OP but would eventually learn 3-cycles for edges and corners. Thanks for your help!
