When doing PLL on a 3x3. If there are U moves to be done in order to solve the cube. Would you do it after or before you execute the PLL?

For me that mostly depends on whether or not I have to do a cube rotation to execute the PLL.

Walkthrough solves may be better so we can see things like solving pairs inefficiently.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dij_KAmgI3A here are 2 solves. i only did 2 so that you could tell me if I should change how I did the video

I will a average of 5 soon

is this an a5 or what?
theres a little marking on the edges

Better angle would be nice.

But looking at the video, you're fairly efficient... Maybe it's your actual execution?
How's your lookahead? Please do some faster solves if possible.

i uploaded more. i did two averages of five, but when i uploaded them to youtube, it didn't upload the whole video. The video was 6 minutes long but it only uploaded one minute,

Yeah... You use some long sequences for some cases... And minimising rotations would be good.
Other than that, try multi-slotting... It's not as hard as it sounds. And go for the easiest pair; not the first one you see.
Hope it helps...

those long sequences should be better once i learn a few more algorithms. and I know i need to cut down on the rotations. thanks for your help

You're welcome
When using CFOP with cross on bottom, I save moves and rotations by using M slices and double layer moves.

For cross on the left I use double layer moves as well.

but i thought that you use roux?

 

[5BLD]

I do.
Pero uso CFOP ocasionalmente.

oh ok

It's probably an A-II, judging from the tracks on the edges.

If a curvy copter is scrambled using the jumbling moves and then returned to cube shape, can it still be solved using only the standard turns?

You might want to ask on the twistypuzzles.com forums.

Umm, what is a Nobel cube. they said it was horrible in another thread, but what does it look like.

Nobel Cubes are another Korean Cube that is very different from its brothers. Visually, their colour scheme is similar to Eastsheens (purple and such) and they have a nice logo on both the yellow and white sides. They come in a translucent cylindrical container that has Korean instructions that expound a beginner's method where OLL orients the yellow cross first, utilising interesting algorithms that I have not seen before (not that that is saying anything ).

I see Nobel Cubes as worthy from a collector's point of view, or even for beginners as there is something about them that is very likeable. However, they simply are NOT FOR SPEED CUBERS (without serious modification) and I don't believe that Nobel would claim that they were a speed cube, being as how they seem to have a rudimentary click mechanism. Summary: If you are a speed cuber they are horrible, but if you are a casual cuber or collector then they are okay, but expect some Repetitive Strain Injury.

what's the difference between this a porcelain white guhong and a white guhong?

oh i only see a square marking, i think its the light
