When using Ortega, what is the probability that the easiest face to start will have an adjacent swap?

2/3

The regulations were not clear for me, but would black stickers be allowed on a black cube?

where is a good tutorial for 4x4 yau method?

monkeydude1313 has a good one on youtube.

its where I learned. But since then I have switched to 3-3-3-3

Yes, considering a lot of white cubes come with white stickers, I see no reason they would not be. As long as you can tell all six colors apart easily, I do not think it matters what colors you have.

which is better?

or an original clock?

The original is, Ive heard the KOs have pin problems. Originals can be bought on Ebay.

Yes. Any colour scheme is allowed as long as there are six different colours.

and where did u learn 3-3-3-3?

 

[Lorken]

No. Anything above a 10 second cross you can never have an excuse for.

at least in my opinion`

I agree, I haven't had a >10 sec cross since like the first week of me learning how to cube.

I watched a video on youtube of Faz's sub 30 O.O
and one of the comments said he did 3-2-2-2-3, so i asked about it on here and figured it our from the replies I got
and combined it with 6 edge pairing to make 3-3-3-3 which i guess is 3-6-3 lol
I am considering doing a youtube tutorial, but I am pretty sure one exists. but i did not find any advanced 4x4 edge tutorials. most were basic stuff.

and once i switch to ZZ my "cross" is at about 10 seconds, but that includes EO and EOLine.
But otherwise, step 1 from any method should be sub10.

Anyone know a youtube vid that shows how to do garrons PLL alg with all the right fingertricks?
I can do it about 6 seconds, but want to see if there is a way to do it faster

Ok... attempt #2

Best keychain 3x3?

 

[EricReese]

10 seconds doesnt matter for EoCross. We are talking about regular cross. But edge orienting plus making the line is not what he was asking.....besides with ZZ you dont even want to make a cross. When you blockbuild you should make a 2x2 block first, dont think of it as a fridrich F2L when you do ZZ.

[HavoCentral]

and the maru keychain is prolly the best

Thanks Havo.

Another question, has anyone here used "Militec" as a cube lubricant?

 

[EricReese]

I haven't but I wouldnt recommend using it. What cube do you have? There is sometimes a lube that works best for a single cube (haiyan - d39, guhong - lubix, etc)

edit: Look at the title of the webpage.

The ONLY all-purpose synthetic metal conditioner and gun oil

Yea don't use it

 

[Erzz]

Is there a good ZZ tutorial? The youtube ones I found are bad and the written one makes no sense.
