I think it is possible, but it would take practice. One advantage is you would get a clue as to what kind of swap just by which corners are yellow and which are white (assuming those are your Up Down faces). That will be a late addition to my Roux game for sure though.

The way I recognize the orientation right now is by looking for my L/R colours on the corners as I finish the RB, this tells me what up/down colours to look for on what corners. It should be possible to determine the permutation based on those L/R colours as well, but I don't have enough experience to say whether that would be fast or not. Non-matching blocks are in a sense a type of colour neutrality, so I believe the earlier you learn it the better.

We aren't getting off topic here are we? It's all roux related after all.

First block seems long. Is that intentional (for helping the second block)?
What about this (first try):
z' y
R' U R' M' F R U' R' U x' (9)
=
y
R' F R' M' D R F' R' F (9)
and then the second block:
U2 r' U2 R2 U M R U2 M' U' R (11)

As for the LSE, I would use (misoriented centers):
U2 M' U M U M' U' M' U M2 U M U2 M U2 M (16)

Also you use:
M' U R U R' U' M' U R U' Rw' M2 U M U2 M' U2 M2 U' M' U2 M U2 (23)
Why not:
M' U R U R' U' M' U R U' Rw' M2 U M' U2 M U M U2 M' U2 M2 (22)

yeah, i was trying to keep the pair for the second block. but it looks like your solution is far better.

Why are you doing R-turns in LSE?

This is a really hard case, this is my second try (first one was 19):

M' U M' U' M U M' U M' //EO (9)
U' M' U2 M U M2 U // UL/UR (7)

Why did you y2? Was it to avoid a B2? Is that really better? Y U Y2?! :confused:
