Escher: /* The Algorithms */

'''Corners Last Layer''' is a group of methods collectively known as '''C*LL''' or '''CxLL''' that solve the last layer corners in one algorithm. Each method has certain restrictions that apply, and each can affect other pieces in different ways. For example, [[CMLL]] allows movement of the M layer and allows destruction of the UL and UR edges. Two other common sets of algorithms include [[CLL]] and [[COLL]]. These differ from the fact that the latter preserves last layer's edges orientation while the former does not necessarily. In some cases, CLL will give shorter algorithms due to lack of restrictions.

C*LL is useful for the [[2x2x2]], which has no edges, and also for [[CF|corners first]], which solves edges after the corners. C*LL is also used in [[Roux Method|Roux's method]], and is specifically known as CMLL. It is of course also useful after a normal F2L is compleated, COLL often together with the [[Petrus method]] or in the Fridrich variation, with a preceeding VH or ZB F2L. CLL for 3x3 solves the LL corners before anything is done to the edges, that then are solved using [[ELL]] (the Guus method), probably the most effective way (that is used) to solve a compleatly scrambled LL in two steps.

== The lists ==
=== Browse ===

At bottom of each page there is a [[CxLL Algorithms#Navigator|navigator]] that you use to browse from page to page by clicking the names under the thumbnail images.

=== Case Descriptions ===
There are 2 tables for case descriptions. The first is the positional recognition system and the second is the hyperorientation recognition system.

'''Positional System:'''
{|
| valign="top"| [[image:CxLL Stickers.jpg|96px|]]
| valign="top"| All colour patterns showed in the decriptions assumes white on top and green in front (official colour sheme). The description images divided into four quadrants makes one corner each as showed in the image to the left. The stickers showed in the images at the pages are whites for the four belonging to the U face and four more, the important recognition stickers, the rest of the stickers of the corners you can ignore in recognition, that's why those are not displayed in the images.
|}

'''Hyperorientation System:'''
{|
| valign="top"| [[image:Hyper CxLL T U.jpg|96px|]]
| valign="top"| All color patterns show the orientation case in white. The blue and green stickers show the position of opposite color stickers (red/orange, blue/green, white/yellow on the standard scheme).
|}
In case descriptions there are sometimes links to the "inverse case", that is the case you get if you do N-PLL on the case you got (or faster R2 F2 R2).

=== The Algorithms ===
In each page there is a list of algorithms for different CxLL based methods: topmost is COLL, followed by CLL, CMLL etc. An algorithm suitable for COLL preserves the edge orientation. If not, it is a CLL algorithm. If the algorithm changes the M slice then it is a CMLL. If it changes F2L edges it is a Corners First/2x2x2 algorithm and if it changes FL corner permutation it is a EG 0/1 alg (all levels are also useful for [[Ortega]]).
CLLEF acts in the same way as COLL, except that it flips 4 edges (to be used with OLLs 1, 2, 3, 4, 17, 18 & 19).

== Beginners ==
For a beginner who likes a stepping stone it is possible to do CxLL in two steps; first orientation and then permutation. In the navigator these algs are the grey cases having single letter names, orientations are in the leftmost row and permutations in the topmost line.

In this case there are two adjacent stickers in U, a bar you can say and the other two are in a bar (in the image at the B-side) and the two bars together shows a chess board pattern. The case [[CxLL S L|S L]] looks much the same but there the bars shows perpendicular bars of uniform colours, not the chess board. Case [[CxLL aS F|-S F]] is the mirror of this one.

This case and the [[CxLL T U|T U]] case are actually the same because all corners are permuted and two of them are twisted in position. So if you orient the cube in the T-case x' y2 it will become this case.

OLL

2009-04-01T22:13:34Z

Escher:

__NOTOC__
OLL is the [[Orientation]] of the [[Last Layer]], and is the first step in solving the last layer in many speedsolving methods.

Parentheses in an algorithm signify the triggers of the algorithm. For example, [(R U R') (L' U L)] shows two triggers in the algorithm, even though it is the same as [R U R' L' U L].

The areas shaded in gray represent the oriented pieces on the top layer. You can tell if a piece is oriented by looking at the top color of the piece in relation to the top center of the cube. If the piece is oriented, the two colors will be the same.

The bars sticking off to the side of an unshaded piece represent where the [[sticker]] that needs to be on top is.

Road to Sub-15 Second Averages

2008-08-28T11:29:20Z

Escher: /* Fridrich Method Algorithms */

Here we present some ideas as to how to break 15 seconds consistently with the Fridrich method.

== Using the Fridrich Method ==
Reaching 15-second averages may be obtained via the following tips -- to be performed in chronological order.

# [[Beginner's Methods|Beginner's Method]]
#* First learn how to solve the Rubik's cube using a tutorial, such as one in the [[Beginner's Methods]] section.
#** Tip: Solve with your cross on the bottom! It ''will'' help you out later.
#* Learn how to [[Lubrication|lubricate]] your cube.
#* Use a timer, such as an [[Web-based Software#Web-based Timers|online timer]] or a [[PC Software#Standalone Timers|PC timer]] to see your progression.
# Learn [[2-look OLL]] algorithms.
# Learn [[2-look PLL]] algorithms.
# Learn to do the [[F2L| First Two Layers (F2L)]] efficiently.
#* Use a tutorial, such as [http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=k-xbcAMfWwM Badmephisto's YouTube Tutorial on F2L].
#* Your times will temporarily get worse, but after a few days of practicing, they will rapidly become better.
#* Practice F2L -- practice a lot. F2L is undeniably the most important part.
# Learn full (1-look) [[PLL]].
#* 21 algorithms to learn.
#* At this point, consider buying a [[Cubes#Cubes|DIY Cube]]. Assuming look-ahead is good, focusing on speed might be important now.
# Learn full (1-look) [[OLL]].
#* 57 algorithms. Don't learn them too quickly, otherwise recognition will be impeded upon. But don't learn them too slowly; try to learn ''consistently''. Steady, slow or fast, will always win the race.
# Look into [[advanced F2L techniques]], such as the [[extended cross]] (also known as ''X-cross''), or other extensions to the Fridrich Method, such as [[COLL]] for suitable LL cases..

== How to get faster with the Fridrich Method ==
''This was written by the members of the speedsolving forum in this thread: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3688 - Posted by someone... and edited by [[User:Rubik's Cube Fan|Rubik's Cube Fan]]''

This thread will be provided as a little tutorial for people who are stuck and want to become faster in solving the Rubik's Cube. Please read this thread and do some forum searching prior to asking questions about becoming faster. First off, the most important factor is practice. Regardless of how many algorithms you cram or optimize, it really boils down to practice. A sub 20 second average can be achieved using a basic beginners method, however, it takes practice. More algorithms are useful to help with your understanding of the cube, and very importantly, your recognition, but these will not get you nearly as far as practice will get you. In spite of this, which is the best way to go about getting those times down, apart from practice alone? Here are some basic, set out steps to follow to help you on your way (note this is only a guideline to help you). You do not have to follow these steps, as this is only to guide you.

Here's a video of one of the top cubers, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLki-254ZKA Erik Akkersdijk, getting a sub 20 second average only using a Layer By Layer method with Fridrich 4 Look Last Layer.]

=== Fridrich Method: Step 1 ===

'''Current Average:''' 1:30+ or don't know how to solve a Rubik's Cube

'''Goal Average:''' 1:00-1:19

Learn the method from one of these two sources: [http://www.stanford.edu/%7Eleyanlo/cube_solution.pdf Leyan’s Beginners Method], or [http://youtube.com/watch?v=ofZFUgaxlTQ&feature=PlayList&p=4A19F1D174B975BD&index=4 Badmephisto's Youtube Video Tutorial].

NOTE: It is possible to achieve sub-1 minute with these methods

If you are still stuck, follow these tips:

* Try to reduce pauses, meaning try to never stop turning during your solve
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPC17CMPDTU Sand], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xQ0ywP-bbU Break in], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0rjg7ckq-0 Lubricate Your Cube] (In that order, and only sand if your cube is brand new and you've barely solved it).
* Decrease your last layer times (about 25 seconds or less) - you can do this by improving your recognition and execution for each case
* Work on solving the cross. Try to do the cross in 12 moves or less, and under 12 seconds. Here are some links which will help you achieve/learn this:
** http://www.cubefreak.net/cross.html
** http://www.cubestation.co.uk/cs2/ind...op/cross/cross
* Use finger tricks (this will speed up your times A LOT)
* Practice - The more you practice, the faster you'll become
* Once you get a little used to the beginner method, you can also try inserting the first layer/side corners from different angles. See Macky's guide: http://cubefreak.net/easy_fast.html
* Use a timer to see your progression: http://www.cubetimer.com

''Estimated Time: 2-4 Weeks''

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Fridrich Method: Step 2 ===

'''Current Average:''' 1:00-1:19

'''Goal Average:''' 40 - 50 seconds

Learn 4 look last layer (4LLL). (Links to where to learn the algorithms will be at the end of this guide)

[[2-look OLL]]

* Edge Orientation - 3 cases, 2 algorithms, minimum 1.

* Corner Orientation - 7 cases, 7 algorithms, minimum 2.

[[2-Look PLL]]

* Corner Permutation - 7 Algorithms - Aa/Ab and E/V/Y/Na/Nb, minimum 1.

* Edge Permutation - 4 algorithms - Ua, Ub, Z, H, minimum 1.

''Estimated Time: 2-4 weeks''

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Fridrich Method: Step 3 ===

'''Current Average:''' 40-55 seconds

'''Goal Average:''' 30-39 seconds

* Now learn First Two Layers [[F2L]].
* Your times will temporarily get worse, but after a few days of practicing, they will become better greatly!
* Practice your F2L, and never give up!

''Estimated Time: 2-3 weeks''

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Fridrich Method: Step 4 ===

'''Current Average:''' 30-40 seconds

'''Goal Average:''' 20-29 seconds

* Now, learn the rest of the PLLs so your 2 Look PLL becomes 1 Look PLL - 21 Algorithms (you have already learned 7 algorithms for 2-Look PLL) (Links where to learn the algorithms are at the end of this guide
* Learn how to look ahead during F2L - this will tremendously help your times

''Estimated Time: 2-6 weeks''

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Fridrich Method: Step 5 ===

'''Current Average:''' 20-30 seconds

'''Goal Average:''' Sub 20 seconds

* Practice your F2L, learn/make up your own techniques, and possibly learn some of the algorithms for odd cases. (Links where to learn the F2L algorithms are at the end of this guide) Also, remember to look ahead! Try to complete your cross and F2L in 12 seconds or less on average
* Master all your PLLs and OLLs that you know. Meaning optimize it to your maximum speed, try to use the triggers, and try to get all of them under 3 seconds for recognition and execution.
* Get your cross sub 4 seconds consistently (make sure you solve the cross on the bottom of the cube.)

''Estimated Time: 1-2 Months''

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Fridrich Method: Step 6 ===

'''Current Average:''' Sub 20 Seconds

'''Goal Average:''' 15 Seconds or less

* Master your Cross and F2L, try to finish them in 10 seconds or less on average
* Get your cross done in ~2 seconds on average
* Learn the rest of the OLL algorithms - 57 algorithms (Note that you should completely master everything else before learning these, as they will only help you by about 3 seconds or less)
* To learn/memorize the OLL's easier look at [http://youtube.com/watch?v=I1Lb-eFXzro Badmephisto's video]
* Practice, practice, and keep on practicing!!

Corner Permutation are the Aa/Ab and E/V/Y/Na/Nb permutation algorithms.

Edge Permutation are the Ua, Ub, H, and Z permutation algorithms.

You should print out your OLLs/PLLs so you can learn them and use them at any time. Keep in mind that you should choose the algorithms that best suit you. Just because one person is
fast with an algorithm doesn't mean you will be fast with the same algorithm.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Remarks: How can i get as fast as Nakajima? ===

Nakajima, 2007 World Champion, is perhaps most renowned for is extremely fast execution of the first two layers as well as the last layer (and thus the entire cube itself)! For speeding up F2L almost half of the algorithms there are inefficient and are difficult to recognize. Nakajima's 106 advanced F2L cases on his website are considered far more effective.

* http://www.cubingtechniques.com/cubing/algorithmsbank/f2l/

(You might want to use this [http://translate.google.com/translate_t translator])

It's in japanese though, so you might not understand the explanations but the algorithms are right there for your disposal. Try also [http://jmbaum.110mb.com/ Jason Baum's cubing page]. It contains the best OLL and PLL algs (i think, they're even better than macky's or Vandenbergh's) for ambidextrous cubers.

== From n00ber cuber to Über Cuber! ==

=== 1:30+ ===

To acheive an average of 1:00-1:19.

If you are still stuck, follow these tips:

Try to reduce Pauses.

Lube your cube.

Decrease Last layer times.

You can decrease Last Layer times by improving yor recognition for each case.

''Est. Time: 3 Weeks''

=== 1:00-1:19 ===

Once you acheive these times;

I strongly suggest you learn [http://masterthecube.com/forums/index.php?topic=1008.0 4 look last layer].

Once you goto that link, DON'T learn F2l!! Just learn the last layer part of it.

This includes:

Edge Orientation(2)

Corner Orientation(1-7)

Edge Permutation(1-4)

Corner Permutation(1-3)

''Est. Time: 3 weeks - 2 monthes''

=== 40-55 ===

It is recommended that one starts looking at and learning F2L.

This will increase your times at first, but in a couple days of getting used to cases it should decrease your times GREATLY!

Now, practice your F2L.

''Est. Time: 2 weeks''

=== 30-40 ===

At this stage it is advised to learn all Permutations of the Last Layer.

''Est. Time: 2-3 Months''

=== 20-30 ===

Work on yor F2l,

Possibly use the algs.

You should end up at 12ish F2l.

ALSO:

MASTER(sub 3) all of your PLLs and OLLs that you know.
''
Est. Time: 3-4 months''

=== Sub-20 ===

Learn all 57 OLLs, AND PRACTICE!

''Est. Time: ???''
