4x4x4 BLD: 8:41 DNF

Off by 2 edges: about as disappointing as my attempts in comp yesterday.

Can somebody please point me in the direction of where i can learn how to blind solve a bigger cube(meaning bigger than 3x3x3)?

[LucasGarron]

I sorta figured it out by gradually adopting more technique... Just figure out what cycliing needs to be done, and find ways to do it.

Try the speedsolving[dot]com forum and erikku[dot]er[dot]funpic[dot]o­rg/rubik/r2.html

using r2, how do you do the r and l layer edges beside UBR?

[LucasGarron]

l layer: UR'U'B'R2B setup

r layer: UR'U' r2 URU' r UR'U' r URU' r2 or so... (Erik's commutator is better)

wow, nice lucas. i got my first successful sub-10 yesterday and thought i'm faster than you now. but i was obviously wrong :)

[LucasGarron]

11 centers were placed, you know. My PB is still 13:35, and I so should have gotten a faster timed one by now.

I just posted this as a fast example (it fit the 10-minute upload max) of how horrible my attempts are turning out. At Berkeley Fall, I made 3 total mistakes on the first 2 cubes...

[philkt731]

the only thing i can think of is r2 U2 r (flip UF edge) r' (unflip UF edge) (OLL parity with only slices) U2.  Is there a faster way?

[philkt731]

what about for a parity as in you have DFr and UBr but the centers are swtiched?

Hey, unlucky lgarron. You'll get a fast one soon!
