How can I get faster using K4, I'm stuck around a 1:50 average. Is practice best? Because I've done like 30 solves and haven't gotten faster.

Practise, learn new LL tricks.

What are your guys f3l and LL times?

 

[Sharkretriver]

How fast SHOULD I be before I change to CLL, or should I change to Guimond?:confused: right now i use ortega with an average of 10secs (dont say im slow )
CLL
1. first layer (really bad at)
2. LL
fast but first LAYER and recog for LL would be really slow for me
Guimond
1. weird side
2. OBL
3. separation <---->
4. PBL
omg but weird side goes by really fast
and OBL's short
but separation and PBL take forever

I would just stick with Ortega for a while. CLL is obviously faster but more advanced and requires the memorization of 40 algorithms. You should be able to average 5s or less with Ortega.

what is the best lube? D39, jig-a-loo, or crc?

also... what does UPSB stand for?

42 actually.

I need to approximate (I don't know the appropriate math things; I hope this makes sense)

4/3*pi*3963^3

but the best I can get is 2.60711883x10^11. I'm not sure if my teacher will accept it in scientific notation, so is there anyway for me to get more exact? (The limitation is from my calculator (TI-30XIIS) not having enough room for more numbers.)

If it isn't ok in scientific notation, just write:

26,071,188,300

I think that is right.

I was thinking that too, but I'm not sure how she'd feel about it. I'll just write everything I can.

And wouldn't it be 260,711,883,000?

more like 25-30 really, lots of mirrors and junk
@sharkretriever (see bolds in post)
1. Practice, it gets really easy after a while.
2. Not as hard as it sounds
3. seperation is pretty easy and very fast...

What are your guys f3l and LL times?

Usually about 1:20 - 1:30 for F3L and usually 20 - 30 for LL (I'm bad at LL)

How would I do this 3-cycle earlier in the solve, to save moves?

Scramble: R F B' D B U F' R2 B2 U B L F U' D R' L' U L' D2 U' R2 B F D'
2x2x2: D U2 R2 F U F'
2x2x3: z' B' R' D2 R' F D' F'
Edges: x2 L F' L'
2x3x3: y' R' U' R U2 R2 U2 R' U' R' U
LL: R2 U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R U2 y' x R2 D2 R U R' D2 R U' R

Can you see any other improvements I could make in the solve? I only spent 15 minutes on this, but I don't think I could do better.

The A-perm is optimal, but I don't know about the OLL.
