K4: (This is the only proper and decent one imo) http://snk.digibase.ca/k4/

You dont need a meyer tutorial. The basic method is very simple and uses yau pairing. You build two opposite centres, 1x3x4, solve othercentres, yaupair and then roux.

7x7 Edge flip

On the last 2 edges I have only 2 outer edges that need to be switched how do I switch them? Look at link for picture

hold it like it is in that picture, then do this, where Lw and Rw is the outer + first inner layer.

Lw' U2 Lw' U2 x U2 Lw' U2 Rw x' U2 Rw' U2 Lw2

i want to learn blindfold solving 3x3 seriously i know the old pochmann but i want to know what are the faster methods like what method should i move on now? to get faster.

 

[Akash Rupela]

It is perfectly legal to keep stackmat and timer a little behind and keep the cube between myself and the timer for starting the solve right?

@ZeeK
what are your times with Old Pochmann? if sub2 i would suggest M2

Many methods

Hi I am experienced with cubing and can do many methods but when i see the cube at the start i have a hard time figuring out what method to do. Would someone please help me? Thank you.

Pick one method and get good at it.

Well when you do averages eg:Ao5, Ao12 etc... Because I use chao timer an app for the iPhone for my timed solves, should I reset the session for every time I'm finished. If this is not the case how do the Ao's work then if I did 12 in a new session if I achieved my best for an Ao5 in those 12 does that work, or can anyone just give me the right rules or guidelines as I don't want to cheat myself as I achieved my first sub 40sec avg in 5 weeks of starting

Yes; nothing in the regulations state where the puzzle should be in relation to the cube.

While solving 5x5x5, I found something nice. While on the last layer (3x3x3 stage), I solved the corners and the edge groups were all in their correct places, just flipped the wrong way. Is there an alg to flip all four of these and solve the cube?

M U2 M' U2 M U M' U2 M U2 M' U'
or
((M' U)3 M' U')2 or ((M' U')3 M' U)2

4x4 edge pairing help

i really want to improve my 4x4 time but i'm having trouble learning the 3 2 2 2 3 method. i currently pair 3, then pair 3 more while fixing the centers, the i fix the last four 1 at a time.

 

[alevine]

Does the 4x4 Yau method have parity?

Does the 4x4 Yau method have parity?

Yep, same as redux.

I would save the average and start a new one
