With opposite color, the hardest part is F2L. For the LL I event get better times with white than yellow on top :p
But that can be arranged pretty fast. I'll work on that this weekend and post some results. (until now : I average about 23 seconds with opposite color while I average 19 with white at the bottom :p) Gilles. 2005/12/8, Chris Hunt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > You better stop posting stuff like this or I may actually try it :) > > My first attempts with opposite color cross were pretty bad, but I know this > is probably improved with practice.
