Lol that's my site... well actually I basically took the optimized algorithms on Bob Burton's Site and made it into a printer friendly format with nice pictures I took from speedcubing.com so I can't really say it's my site...
Most people will tell you not to memorize algorithms, and start doing f2l intuitively on your own, but I still think that you should memorize them for the sake of understanding what moves do what on your cube. Once you memorize the algorithms, step back a bit and just spend time to understand what is happened with each piece. After you do so, you will understand what to do intuitively and build off there. --- In [email protected], john lusby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > my advice to you is to learn how to do it intuitively with the help of algarithms try and figure out how they work and make sense of them. I realized recently i was doing all but the LL purely on intuition without a single alg but i was very slow and didnt do the best moves for each pair. Right now im actually trying to go back and learn those algs w/ Fingertricks and i have already lowered my average. a good sight to check out is http://home.comcast.net/~djspazy/rubiks/f2l.html. > i have actually just switched to friedrick from petrus a few days ago and im actually just as fast on friedrick because petrus doesnt give algorithms for the F2L. when people say it should be intuitive it sure helps alot to have something to figure out than figuring it out on your own. > > Goodluck! > > John, > > David Pritts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hey, > > Yesterday I memorized what I suppose are "the basic" 17 LL algs, improving my cubing quite a bit from the method I had been using... from what I've heard, the next thing I should do (besides of course practicing and getting faster) is learn how to do F2L. Currently, I do the first and second layers seperately, and it usually takes me around a minute or so to do the F2L (35/25).

Plus, even if this were a good idea, lots of people have told me DO NOT TRY TO MEMORIZE THOSE, IT SHOULD BE INTUITIVE.. so, i'm going to try to follow that advice :) > > Any good guides for F2L? Craig recommended the one at http://twistypuzzles.com/solutions/3x3x3-01-step2.shtml . However, the problem with this guide is that the color-scheme on the cube in the guide is different from my cube. But, if you guys agree that it is a good guide, I could just go through and change the text/pictures, switching around BLUE and YELLOW, thus making it match my cube.
