Beginners then 32223 then yau (with 323 obviously). Just learn them and do some solved with the methods other than yau, no need to get good with them.

Today I learned that people call Redux a "beginners" method.

Yau isn't the only good method, you know.

You can. IMO, there's not much/hardly any difference at all when using a c4u core. You can always try it.

I have been using a c4u core in my Guhong V2. No matter how hard I set the tensions, the screws or maybe just one screw doesn't stay in it. Could be my fault though.

Try to find new fingertricks? Turn faster?
I can sub 2 most of my PLLs so I don't know if I can help you much. I basically just tried to turn as fast as possible without messing up and eventually the times went down for me.

try finding fast videos and copying their finger tricks.
one day my U perm was crap so i changed the finger trick and practiced it for 2 days. then it got so much better.
i've also changed my perms V, R, H, Z, E, Aa, F, Jb, Na. #cuberproblems

How long did it take for you to get the CFOP to a good time?

I am considering learning it, as I am using a mix of F2L and Beginners method right now.

My definition of "good" for the average cuber is sub-20.

Therefore, from starting speedcubing in September 2011, it took me six months to be sub-20.

Just learn it.

If I'm not browsing the forums and just keep the tab idle, after some time I get auto-logged off. Any way I can stop this?

What browser? I never have this problem with IE or Chrome. Just remember to check the 'remember password' when logging in.

Firefox. I'll check that remember password next time when I log in.

One more question:

In CCT 0.9.5, Is there a way I can see all my times along with their scrambles, like Prisma's History View? Also is there any way to copy them to, say, an Excel worksheet?

EDIT: Figured it out, please ignore this post

I am practicing my two-face PLL recognition but it's slow going because each case doesn't come up often enough for me to really commit them to memory.

My question is, has anyone made a site where I can drill them like flash cards? It would be nice to not have to print off pics off photobucket and make my own.

Try going to qqtimer, select 3x3 subsets in the drop down box, and select PLL.
