Who do you expect to get you a teraminx? lol, but anyway get any cheap magic (it doesnt matter cuz theyre all basically the same) a terminx probly from cube4you, and the all the others from lightake.com.

Well, my store accepts money order(no Paypal or credit card needed). You just need to mail it to me and I will send out the cubes. Probably the safest way next to Paypal.

Do alpha springs and screws fit into a C4Y core?

 

[bluedasher]

Right now I use 2 look OLL. Is their an algorithm to get it from the dot to the cross in one algorithm? If so what is it?

fastest is lars with parity cp

That is kinda disputable...so far all recent WRs, and even most UWRs are set with pure Lars.

but not many people have given it much of a chance, and the people that do use it are quite a bit better with it than with normal lars

hmm who uses it and what do they average? sorry about my skepticism but I don't think you can say it's better unless it's been proven.

Well the inventor andrew nelson uses it (former wr single, official sub 16 average), forte uses it (official 18.06 average), and I use a bit of it (official 30.81 average (normally about 26 now))

Oh I didn't know Forte/Andrew uses it. nvm then...

I still agree with Neil about it not being completely one sided though. I'm finding it's faster for me, but obviously it depends. I just fail at TPS in general so I use it >_>

Bingliang's TPS is so insane that I'm pretty sure the parity doesn't make too much of a difference.

And my 18.06 was without parity CP lol

There are multiple OLL algorithms that can do this. The one I used to use with 2look OLL was this because it preserves the corners so you don't have to inspect again for the next part.

Most daunting task for me, how do I solve the third/fourth F2L pair intuitively (thanks badmephisto) without messing up what I have already?

Thanks!

Easy, you only use the one empty slot to hide peices. It's quite easy if you actually truely understand intuitive f2l.

9.15. MGLS.

I believe this was Lucas Garron's 9.15 single with MGLS.

That could now be wrong though.

You're not wrong. Check his sig.

besides my post last page, should i learn COLL for sune/anti sune? (note, I'm learning COLL because it was recommended for zbll to practice recog)

I figure no, because quite honestly it's just a waste..id rather do the sune/anti sune and not worry about what pll I get

 

[a small kitten]

You need to learn COLL for antisune and sune if you eventually want to do ZBLL. I feel it defeats the purpose of the one look last layer if you don't do one look for those two cases.

I'd learn COLL technically while learning the zbll for sune / anti sune. id just rather not waste tiem with it but i guess ill learn it
