The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

Okay, so I just got back into 2x2 a couple of weeks ago and lately I've been able to get some sub-7 averages, with my best being 5.91 (althought I did have some pretty lucky scrambles ). I'm using LBL (first layer, OLL then PLL) at the moment.

So, my question is, how fast should I be able to get with LBL, and what is considered a good ao5 for LBL? Oh, and one other thing. Should I just keep practising this method and try to get faster or should I consider something else like Ortega? Thanks

I have gotten sub 3.7 average of 5 with LBL, so it has potential

Oh, right So is LBL the method you currently use?

I use a bit of everything, but mostly that. Currently I'm learning CLL, so i won't be using LBL for long

There are 3192 different 3cycles for Megaminx if I calculated correctly. What exactly do you need?

After all The edges are Oriented and permuted. It's like the permute corners step of 3x3 LBL with niklas. Two Corners stay and the others are circled.

50mm zhanchi weird center piece

hi guys,

i got my 50mm zhanchi (diy) in the mail yesterday from lightake and i had one weird center piece which some sort of hole in it en the little stick at the bottom is shorter.
it turns very slow, maybe because of the weird center piece???

I want to start learning CLL for 2x2. Which ones should I start with or does it not matter? Thanks.

EDIT: or should I learn another 2x2 method instead of CLL? I average somewhere sub-6 for ortega currently.

learn 2-look if you haven't already.

learn the easy ones first, or the ones that are algs you already know on the 3x3.

This is my opinion

You're doing CP before CO ? In that case, the standard niklas works fine.
