Hey -- Jason, you said that I should learn the ROUx method... so you recommend just going to http://grrroux.free.fr/method/Intro.html and learning the method there? I am just getting to the point where I can solve the cube consistently without having to look at any references (thanks to the help provided by many of you who have answered my questions in the past few days). My method is:
-Solve first 2 layers -Solve the cross of the bottom layer -Get the LL corners in the right place -Get the LL corners rotated correctly -Switch any incorrect corners I am starting to get pretty good at this, but I know there is little I can do besides getting faster with my algorithms and cutting down time doing the first layer. I can do it in about 4 minutes usually, but I want to start learning more advanced methods. I'm not looking to be the best cuber ever or anything, but I would like to at least get my average down to 90 seconds or 2 minutes. What are the most common methods that you guys use, how difficult are they to learn and use, and how fast are they? thanks!! -David kovacic81 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: - Sorry about the Notation. I forget that beginners don't know the Notation. SOmeone posted earlier to look on Gilles ROux page under beginner's method. David, your case is the 2nd example, so it's perfect. I don't know how you solve the cube, but I dont suggest learning the beginners method posted there. Just learn the ROUx method. Very little to memorize...
