Roux alg halp D:

For the last step case, swapping 4 centers. The alg I've been using was E2 M' E2 M. The only other way I know to do this is U2 M2 U2 M' U2 M2 U2 M'. Neither of these options are fast, the length of the second takes away from the advantage of not regripping.

So I started doing (U2 D2) M' (U2 D2) M', which is just E2 M' E2 M. I do the U's with my left index finder and the D's with my right ring finger, flicking them simultaneously. While it's faster for me than the other 2 (and looks cooler), this is still my worst case for the last step. How do fast people perform this one?

(M' U M' U')*3.

Can someone care to explain what cycling is on Pochmann BLD? I still do not understand it

No, it's riding a bicycle on top of a blindfolded Stefan Pochmann.

I think its when you cycle edges and corners till there in the right place (3 cycles)

Is this the easiest puzzle after the 1x1x1? From Popbuying

How can you do M and M' moves fast? I just turn the R and L layers but it's way too slow. If anyone could explain or post a video it would be nice

For M', use your ring finger. You can even double flip pretty easily with both ring fingers. I don't really have a good way to do M though..

or you can do r (Rw) the R'

what is the maximum amount of moves to insert an F2L pair?

what is the maximum amount of moves to insert an F2L pair?

∞

Spoiler

Optimally idk

does a QJ 4x4 core still work if its missing a screw but the two halves are super glued together

 

[dillonbladez]

probably, but it would suck monkey balls.

I did that with my Rubik's 4x4x4 and it was looser than ever...

 

[dillonbladez]

what is the maximum amount of moves to insert an F2L pair optimally? like, the maximum for cross piece is four. i think.

..

Very fast, all quarter turns, but I still like mine better.

Thanks both of you! Both of these are a massive improvement on my previous algs. I like M' U M' U' the best because it's pretty rhythmic and U2 turns are my weakness. Quarter turns are nice

I thank both of you for your infinite source of roux halp.
