Thanks for your reply Chris! It is quite an honour! (excuse the
spelling...)
I understand perfectly what you are talking about, but, somehow, I
just don't see counting the edge cycles as being very practical - at
all. So, you're right, I DON'T like it ;). There is frankly, too
much opportunity to MISCOUNT/ miss a cycle etc etc. If this TRULY is
the only way to avoid my problem, then the way I treat it might seem
to be the most effective. Craig and your site reference
(www.bigcubes.com) is comprehensive, but I am reluctant to use
algorithms I have not worked out for myself, especially when I can't
REALLY see them speeding up the solve that much. Besides, there are
quite a few of the edge algs to rememeber, and at the moment, (since
I can hardly speed solve the 5x5) I just want a more 'elegant'
method.
By the way, may I ask what your average is? Mine is quite poor at
the moment (I've had the 5x5 for around a week now). My main failing
is the center solution, which proceeds thusly: solve opposite
faces !! (at the time this was the easiest to do, except the last
pair is a bit 'wishy-washy'...)
Again, thanks for the reply, and happy cubing to you!
PS (have you even considered blindfolded solving for this puzzle) ;)
