Hi everyone,
Over the past three weeks, I have been quite busy—and perhaps a little crazy—writing five short notebooks to help teach myself about some of the problems I encountered while learning the CFOP PLL and Yau 3-2-3 edge-pairing methods for the 4×4 cube.
I am hoping to share these notebooks with you one at a time and would greatly appreciate it if some of you would be willing to take a look and share your thoughts on whether my observations, reasoning, and technical explanations are correct.
I’ll start with a short four-page Notebook #2, titled:
“Understanding the Last Three Edge Pairs in the Yau 3-2-3 Pairing Strategy.”
This notebook documents a small experiment I performed to help myself better understand what happens when the Yau edge-pairing process reaches the last three edge pairs (L3E).
For these five notebooks, I am mainly looking for a technical sanity check, rather than proofreading or formatting suggestions. If I have misunderstood anything or made any technical errors, I would be very grateful to know.
If this is useful and there is interest, I hope to share the other notebooks gradually as well.
Thank you very much for your time and help!
