how fast do you guys solve F2L? how does that compare to the total time it takes you to solve the cube? right now i'm working on intuitive F2L, as indicated by my several posts recently... I am starting to get the hang of it, and it is no longer difficult for me.. HOWEVER, it's not fast. With my old method, I solved the first layer and used 2 algs to solve the 4 pieces in the 2nd layer. WIth this method, a good F2L takes about 45 seconds(for me). How much practice do you think it will take me such that I can do F2L in less than 45 seconds? I just timed myself 5 times and I did it in around: 2:25 2:20 1:55 2:12 1:50 Anyways, I can see that I'm getting much better with practice, but I'm still anxious to get faster so I figured I'd ask.. plus, Craig B told me that he got the hang of it in 3-4 days, and it's taken me longer than that, and I think i've been doing a relatively heavy amount of cubing in the past few days, so I figured I should get it down sooner ^^ Also - although I understand this method, do you think it makes a big enough difference in time to justify memorizing the 41 algs? This method is pretty good and i know it has a potential for being very fast, but assuming I took it slowly (maybe 1 a day, or 4-5 a week or something), I could easily memorize those algs after a month or two.. would that be noticeably faster? It seems to me that having an alg for each case would be significantly faster. Let me know. David ps--ordered cubesmith tiles, got them on today..very nice -_-
