Tips/Tricks for learning OLL/PLL

!!!IMPORTANT!!! This video is quite old. I do not use cubewhiz OLL's anymore. Check my OLL video instead. All the other tricks/tips still apply though.
---------------

A collection of (hopefully) useful Tips/Tricks for OLL/PLL. How just by knowing one algorithm and its inverse, you can get 3 more OLL's for free and more stuff like that. I go a little bit over the memorization techniques that I use as well.

http://www.cubewhiz.com/ for the algs i use. Props to Bob Burton for the amazing site.

NOTE one thing i forgot to mention, algorithms 9 and 10 in PLL's are almost exactly the same thing, with (R U R' F') executed in the beginning or the end.

So you need to learn 78 algorithms to solve the top layer (21oll, 57pll)? And are these hard to recall when you need to solve the last layer? Thanks!

[badmephisto]

they are very easy to recall once you know them, but of course, learning them is the hard part :)

The good news is that MANY of them are very very similar, with very minor differences. Its not really 78 unique algorithms.

in the notations... wut does the w stand for? ex. Dw

[badmephisto]

its BOb's new stupid notation. Dw = d. Double layer D turn

I memorize algorithms before I go to bed. Every morning, I just hold the Rubik's and my eye and muscle do the solving for me.

it is permute not position

[jucko13]

your power level is way over 9000!!!

thank you X100000000000000000

1 question.. Is the Camera located at your head???

[LeighzerCuber]

do your wrists or fingers ever hurt and is there a way to prevent it? (i need to take a break for a while)

[Bruce5747]

in the OLLs number 3 starts off with r' what is that ?? i no its small r' prime but whats the maneuver

[euklid216]

@badmephisto doesn't some guy (forgot his name :/) know all the ll-algs now?

[puppyofwrath]

Thanks dude! I will be checking out your website.

1. it isnt that many algs for zbf2l

2. jason baum knows the entire method

[uNamed2lyfe]

the way that im learning the OLLs is that im learning them from patterns.

so first i learnt all the cases which have no edges oriented, then the ones which have 1 edge oriented with 1 corner etc etc.

i hv learnt 23 so far (excluding the ones which have the cross on top).
