One question:
Today I made my first CN Ao100 on 3x3. (Each color). I have 4s slower average (21s) than normal. Is it very bad or not?

Anyone got a good algorithm for the 4x4 last layer case which orients 3 dedges + OLL parity?

Hold with the one oriented dedge in UR and do B' R' (OLL parity) R B

What's this new X thanks in X posts thing and what's the purpose of it?

On the bottom right of each post there's this "thanks" button, I think it might be kind of like a "like" on facebook.

EDIT: and then the X thanks in X posts would be like in your posts, how many have gotten thanked. (not sure why it is at 0 though)

I think its like the Like thing but your saying thanks as a reply to an answer instead of actually typing it out as a reply.

G Perms

Hi,
are there any easy to remember G Perms (that don't use 2-look)? Also is there an easy way to recognize G(a) from G(b) from G(c) from G(d) (i.e. distinguishing G perms?)

Does anyone know which sticker set works best with white cubes? I know for me half brights work best on black, and I think that on a white cube the shades will differ.

Hold the headlights to the left. Then look where the 1x2 block is. It can be either in the back, in the Right Back, in the right front or in the front

where can you get decent stickers cheap in UK? also where can you get half bright ones?

 

[pipkiksass]

Hi, I actually found G perms some of the easiest to learn. I used Badmephisto's guide (http://badmephisto.com/pll.php) to recognise - put headlights on the left, and you will either have your 2x1x1 block at the front, bottom right, top right, or on the back face. I don't know the cases by name, but there's really no need, position of the pair is enough.

Each G perm alg on Badmephisto's site involves removing one of the F2L pairs, then moving the U face away from the pair and the pair away from it's slot, then moving the U face back, then restoring the pair. Watch what happens to the pair you remove by following the algs. I still don't know them without watching the cube, but they're some of my fastest PLLs. There are faster algs, but these ones are really easy to learn visually.

Hope this helps!

Is the flowerminx the same thing as a 2x2x2 version of the Megaminx? I'm trying to figure that out. Also, what would be a 4x4x4 Megaminx? A gigaminx is a 5x5x5 version I think. And a teraminx is 7x7x7.

Flowerminx/kilominx=2x2
Megaminx=3x3
Master Kilominx=4x4
Gigaminx=5x5

That's what they're called, I knew there was a name.

Neat, I didn't realize all the different minxes. lol.

What about with the Pyraminx, that's a generation down from the cube shape rather than up, is the Pyraminx 3x3x3 or 2x2x2? Or is that even analogous?

Try looking them up on Twistypuzzles.

any difference between an ultimate skewb and a dodecahedron 2x2?

Really? I watched it and only asked my question because I wasn't a huge fan of that one :/ Ah well.
