That actually makes a lot more sense. So as long as all the facelets that are facing up or down are red or orange, then they're "correct"?
I think the real thing that's buggering me is "an edge is correctly oriented if you can solve it with a sequence in the group enerated by <U,D,L,R,F2,B2>... no matter where a side is, if i use one of those, i can put it in a "fixed" position. The red/orange thing made that a lot easier to understand. so after i get them all in the right orientation, if i use the 3 combinations from 4b, they won't mess up the orientations. One thing I noticed is that if they are all in the right "orientation" and i do something like... M2UMU', they still all stay in the right orientation. also, say on the middle row i have all the orange and red either on the front or the back, then a simple M or M' puts them on top or bottom, right? I think i understand now. Thank you so much! --- In [email protected], "kovacic81" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I use CF sometimes, with a ROUX ending.
