M2 / Old Pochmann Tutorial part 3.5 - Special edge cases

Explaining some very important cases when solving a cube blindfolded with the M2 method. Includes information on the parity, orienting (flipping) two edges, and what to do when the buffer gets solved.

I had to refilm this part because it froze the last time halfway through

@EricLimeback

how does the R perm help with pairty,when using M2.How can those corners pieces on UFR and UBR change their places when using M2,it can happen with old pochmann for edges because we use T perms in that and the corner pieces change their places,not M2,M2 has the side effect of change centers,not corners on UBR and UFR.

@musicfreak9312

You have to do the R perm for parity because it reverts the edges back to what you had memorized. When you do it, the UFR and UBR corners are switched. Once you're done the edges, you go back and do the R perm again to fix the UFR and UBR corners.

@EricLimeback hey eric, i combine 3OP for corners and M2 for edges. The problem is I do corners first and at the end I have every corner well oriented and permuted. So i finish with yellow/orange in DF, solve it with M U2 M U2 and then i get the red/white in UF and do U2 M' U2 M' and its an infinite circle!!! I tried doing U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U but i finish with some of the corners i solved before screwed up!! Does that mean i have to solve edges first and corners later with 3OP and M2 combined?

[EricLimeback]

@LuKaS2oo9 When you say you 'finish', do you mean you finish edges?

Also, when yellow/orange is in DF, are the centers flipped? (As in, is the orange center on F and the yellow on U?). I think thats the problem. If not, its because I haven't done BLD in forever and once I learned how to fix that / what I was doing wrong I never came across it.

Even in a hurry you manage to make a great tutorial. Good job. I am gonna have major problem with the center pieces geting in place when I solve it becuase of the orienttation of the centers.

Does it mean that each time I solve a edge, I have to count if the centers are flipped or not in order for me to put in the center edges corrently with the right alg?

[EricLimeback]

@Ebbzzor Thanks :D

And to answer your question, sort of. You don't have to 'count' for every edge. Just check to see if it's an even numbered edge in your sequence or an odd number. If it's the 2nd/4th/6th/8th/10th/12th edge in your memorization, you know the centers will be flipped.

I memorize edges in groups of four so its easier for me to know if its an even numbered edge

welcome! to how to solve a 3x3 bld part 3.5! ow

[Rionz25]

@VagrantWatcher213 yah.i think u didnt understand.. just search for the beginners method.. u will see it..for clarity

[VagrantWatcher213]

@Rionz25 UNTIL THE CORNER WAS SOLVE? OK

[Rionz25]

@blackzabbathfan u have to orient it by the beginners method like R U R' U' UNTIL THE CORNER WAS SOLVE

but if i stop eating my apple for 10m it will go brown

[blackzabbathfan]

Question: All My edges are in place but the corners are flipped, what do i do?

[o0JayBC0o]

Do a big cube bld tutorial!

[denisflash1]

@LNOL sure he did it purposely)

[denisflash1]

I was eating my dinner when he said (00:26) "...and stop eating!"!!!!!. Is it a magic? David Blaine?

[rpotts1]

why not use (U' F2 U) M2 (U' F2 U) for parity? you only have to do it once in between corners/edges.
