if my cube keep on lock-upping... what shall i do? tension less or more?

 

[Costa]

do you guys listen to music while solving? if yes, what kind of music do yuo listen to?

 

[Veekindel]

What`s the site where you can seperate the records by gender, country, age etc?

 

[TheNextFeliks]

But I use YAU? Dont know Reduction

He means the non-3x3 parts of the solve. The edge pairing and centers and that stuff.

iWCA.

Do this:

 

[guysensei1]

Why were the Rubiks magic and master magic removed from WCA events?
Why was 3x3 no inspection removed?

Magic and Master Magic.
I don't think no inspection was ever an event.

Umm, How do you recognise PLL with parity in 4x4 cube? I cant recognise them and have to do 2 look pll + parity and takes me like 20 sec more 1:45 min avg

If it isn't a normal PLL case, you have parity.

Permute Corners (adjacent or opposite swap)
If not U/Z/H, do PLL parity.
Permute Edges

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN ME THIS?

Cany understand a bit of it....

Are there any written tutorials for Yau. There's a load of video tutorials but I like something I can read and refer back to.

I don't know any off the too of my head, but you could probably find one on another website. ^^; You could probably search '4x4 Yau Method PDF' on Google and find it. If you can't, then I'll give it a shot and find a link if I can.

I've been looking and haven't got anywhere. Any help would be very welcome.

The concept of Yau isn't too difficult, as there are no algorithms, except your normal 3x3 stage parity algorithms.

If you can't find one, I can either try to make one or possibly find one (I looked for around five minutes). You can probably find the concept explained in words under the tabs on this wiki page: http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Yau_method

If I have time, I can make one. Bob Burton's page doesn't have a Yau tutorial, at least none that I know of, and that's where I usually go.

No, that's OK but thanks for the offer. For some reason I was under the impression that there were no parity issues with Yau but it seems that I was wrong.

Is there a decent 4x4 method that avoids parity and doesn't have a lot of new algorithms?

You are asking a lot. No there isn't decent method that avoids parity.

There are methods that are decent and you only need to learn 2 or 3 new algs.

What about Cage Method?

Okay, not a speed method (you can call it not decent... ), but you don't have to learn so much algorithms, and you won't have parity.
