I did look at the picture, but since I can only see half the puzzle I cannot be 100% sure the rest is solved. You need to switch the white and yellow caps.

Yes I just did that.. I think that somehow they must have gotten switched before.... when the puzzle was mixed and I couldn't solve it... And yes the puzzle was completely solved except that... Thanks so much for the help!

What is the best what to tell if you have parity? I always do it by looking at the PLL of both sides, and then determine if I have parity based on that. Is there a faster way to find out if you have parity?

Well, either that and use CP parity, or first solving the corners, then telling if parity (easier recognition) and then do EP parity.

Okay thanks. Do you know where I can find some EP parity algs?

Wow thanks

Are there any good O perms?

Are there any good O perms?

O perm is one of the best things in existence. Just go to any EP resource listed at the beginning of this thread and learn one.

O perm is one of the best things in existence.

Since when?

 

[uberCuber]

Since I can do it faster than quite a few non-parity cases

Any decent speedsolving alg for the adjacent-opposite EO which preserves CP?

Any decent speedsolving alg for the adjacent-opposite EO which preserves CP?

1,0 / 0,-3 / 0,3 / -1,-1 / 0,-3 / 0,3 / 0,1
0,-1 / 3,0 / 0,-3 / 1,1 / 0,3 / -3,0 / -1,0

I use 1,0 / 3,0 / 3,0 / -1,-1 / -2,1 / -4,-1 /

 

[MTGjumper]

I use 0,-1 / 4,1 / 3,0 / -1,-1 / -2,1 / -3,0 / -1,0

 

[kunparekh18]

1,0 / 0,-3 / 0,3 / -1,-1 / 0,-3 / 0,3 / 0,1
0,-1 / 3,0 / 0,-3 / 1,1 / 0,3 / -3,0 / -1,0

I use 1,0 / 3,0 / 3,0 / -1,-1 / -2,1 / -4,-1 /

I use 0,-1 / 4,1 / 3,0 / -1,-1 / -2,1 / -3,0 / -1,0

Thank you all, all of those algs are sweet.

 

[brandbest1]

I use 0,-1 / 4,1 / 3,0 / -1,-1 / -2,1 / -3,0 / -1,0

Wow, this alg actually looks pretty darn good, I'll see if I can switch to this one.

 

[MTGjumper]

It's just my normal single switch edge separation offset before the first move

Any tips/comments? Anything I could get better at? I shaved off almost 5 seconds off my average in this one week because I started one-looking cubeshape.

<big bump>

What algs do you guys use for all of the cases involving Adj on one layer and a U-Perm on the other? For example, for CwU-Adj, I use

/-3,-3/0,1/0,-2/0,-4/-4,0/-4,0/-2,0/5,0/-3,-3/

I'm asking because I'm starting the hate the ones where the Adj is on the top.
