How to solve a 2x2 Blindfolded! (part 2)

Here's a link back to part 1:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsknmW5Q6NM

.......................................
This video explains the Permutation phase of the 2x2 blindsolve. There are a few things you need to pick up from this video:
- How to memorize permutation cycles.
- Restrictions on setup moves during permutation.
- How to fix simple 2 and 3 cycles.
- Cycle decomposition (How to fix long cycles.)
- Basic blindsolving rules.
.......................................
You will also need to know:
- A T perm, a J perm, or any other permutation which affects 2 corners. I use the J permutation R,U2,R',U',R,U2,L',U,R',U',L.
- A clockwise 3 corner cycle. I use x,R',U,R',D2,R,U',R',D2,R2,x'
- An anti-clockwise 3 corner cycle. I use x,R2,D2,R,U,R',D2,R,U',R,x'
- A lot of focus and intuition.
.......................................
I really hope this helps and that you catch on quicker than I did. Here's a link to the written tutorial I used to learn this method:
http://www.cubefreak.net/BLD/3OP_guide.html
It is VERY long and at times over-explained, so I suggest you print it off and go over it with a highlighter, or you'll drive yourself nuts reading it over and over. It's a fantastic guide though, and I definitely recommend it if you're having trouble.

I'll make a 3x3 blindfold video later, but don't hold your breath... I'm taking a break after this video, it was very difficult and time consuming to make.

Please comment and rate, I would appreciate it.

this has been just talking about a cube

ts not getting anywhere....

exlain better

[LanceTheBlueKnight]

You do know this explains a BLD method, correct?

It's all in there. Pay more attention; Everyone else seems to understand it fine.

[Bullsboy94]

unfortunately, the link in the sidebar is broken.

[LanceTheBlueKnight]

Thanks for letting me know. It's fixed now.

[ChillinJarMAn]

I understood just about everything but just one thing... What makes a corner oriented? Hope u understand what I mean.

[LanceTheBlueKnight]

A corner is oriented if the yellow or white sticker is facing up or down.

More specifically, a corner is oriented if you can get it into it's solved position by using only F2, R2, B2, L2, U and D.

@twilightmasterjim

Wow.. I just got TOLD!

[MrKjaersgaard]

I think it's hard to find out which setup move you should do when permuting. For example i've got a cyclus: 1,6,7 but i can't figure out how i should do the setup move :( pls help!

[roflknife34]

How would i permute 2 corners that are next to each other? What's the algorithm. In my case I have 1 and 2 that need to swap. WHAT"S THE SOLUTION!?!?!

[videocatcher234]

I love how part one has 81,000 views while this one only has 12,000. Some people must have given up :D

[thefirstcuber]

can you explan me the Permuztation how to to

[uberzj]

Just got it on first try. 4:55.90

[lilkrisballa23]

@LanceTheBlueKnight

thanks man i finally did it it took me a ridiculous amount of time but hey i did it regardless ryt.it took me 18:18.57 and that was just a few seconds ago and only first try.im not gonna lie i watched this vid a million more times but u really are a good teacher,and on a side,ive been reading a bunch of comments on here and u are extreamly nice And twilightmasterjim can go suck on a railroad spike and die.lol and has anyone ever told u,u sound like dane cook?

[minikretz1]

can u make a video showing the algos u use???

[CuberBuzz]

DUDE I GET IT KNOW!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!

[CuberBuzz]

I kind of get it... Anyways awesome video!

[purplethig1998]

aaw.. head hurts.. i don't really get it.. i guess i should stick to solving slowly that blindfolded.. i have a different method in solving a 2x2 so it doesn't match.. anyway.. great video!
