Hi All - I'm in the process of switching my 4-look LL order from:
OE (Orient Edges) / PC (Permute Corners) / OC (Orient Corners) / PE (Permute Edges) to: OE / OC / PC / PE As I work through it, I'm finding that I'm getting more "lucky" solves, where I end up skipping one of the above steps. Thinking about it for a while, I came up with the following analysis: Once I OC, the four corners (A, B, C, D) are in some order. If I "fix" A, then there are only 6 orders for B, C, D = BCD, BDC, CBD, CDB, DBC, DCB (let's say I'm looking at them from the top). So, 1/6 of the time I get to skip PC. I also get a PE skip when the PC routines I use also do the right PE (call this proto-PLL). Sound like reasonable logic to others? I'm sure that with my old order there were step skips as well, but it feels like more. An average of two " step skips" in a set of 12 runs is a nice situation. And, yes, I know the next statement: Learn PLL and you'll always have one less step (4 to 3)! I'm working on it! yeff ------------------------ Yahoo!
