[manyhobbyfreak]

i am practising for the benelux open with the pyraminx. as i scramble the cube i don't now what side i should hold on the front as i scramble the pyraminx? the colers are blue red green and yellow

it doesn't matter unless you are not color neutral on the pyraminx

Red front, blue bottom... GRYB (left-front-right-bottom) to be right =D

but because so many people have mirrored stickers I just follow the Red front and Blue bottom =D

Actually, according to the rules it would seem that the logical orientation would be yellow front, green bottom.

4d) Cube puzzles must be scrambled with the white (or the lightest colour by default) face on top and green (or the darkest adjacent face by default) on the front.

However, it's really quite unclear, because in the typical orientation (pyraminx resting on table), there is no top face for pyraminx. Calling the front "top" and the bottom "front" seems like a logical extrapolation for pyraminx, though. Any other opinions?

What Mike says makes sense and this is indeed how I scramble. It's easier for me to know though because my colours are green, white, orange and red

Normally I put white front and green bottom (on the table). Or yellow if there is no white.

Nah, it's green front, yellow bottom. Everyone else must be mistaken

I always have blue front, orange top right, just to be consistent. And how can you not be cn at pyra!

CCT uses Red bottom Blue facing.

It's red front, blue bottom. Look at the WCA pyraminx scrambler.

Ah, yes. My mistake.
