Can someone recommend a good place to purchase a Type A(I) other than C4Y?

Wait for Jack to stock up?

Why is "Dyste" a "Senior Member" and have a sig that is over 10 lines and in a different font?

He made his account back before there was a signature limit, & when you got different rankings for post counts.

What's this method called/ has it been thought of before?

Solve 3/4 of a side & 1 un-oriented/oriented corner.
Using a collection of 23 algorithms, orient the the 5 corners.
PBL

If it hasn't been thought I propose CCFS as it's name, although it probably already has a name.


EDIT: It's for 2x2x2.

Solve 3/4 of a side

I don't think you can solve 6.75 pieces

Do you know the name of it?

If I'm getting an F-II, is it also worth getting an F-I? Same question for the two type Cs.

Well KDBQ126 , I don't know about the F-I, but I heard they are very good. And I know from experience that the type C is very good IMO.

Do you know the name of it?

SS (Stern-Sun) Method, algorithms here.

SS (Stern-Sun) Method

Oh, I thought that preserved the bottom layer & also solved the PLL.

 

[miniGOINGS]

No, I'm pretty sure it's 3/4 face, insert and orient, PBL. See previous post for algs.

In my experience, the FII is better than the FI. The FI is good, but it wears down way too quickly, and the FII is still in good shape. However, the FII is new, so I don't know if it is durable or not. So I would say get the FII, and only get the FI if you have a lot of extra cash on your hands.

As for the type Cs, they are both excellent. I like the type CI better than the CII, but a lot of people like the CII better.

In my opinion, get them in this order: FII, CI, CII, FI.

Can you answer me this, why are there 60 algorithms for that, but only 23 for EJF2L?

EJF2L assumes that the corner is already inserted. SS is similar to CLS I believe.

Now your really confusing me... why are there ~100 CLS's but only 60 SS's?

Does anyone know how long a normal Cube Explorer optimal solution thing usually takes? Mine has been of 13 for half an hour.

Mines usually less than 5 seconds.

This may sound nooby, but how many OLL cases are there for 2x2? I'm going to completely guess...7? *shudders*

Don't kill me if I'm wrong..

Yup.

I got a master magic today.. and I think when solved it shouldn't look like that:

Or should it?

One tile is complete wrong..

Is this a puzzle defect or have I just done something wrong.
