Rubik's Cube: Setting up cases

This is a quick tutorial on how you can set up various OLL/PLL cases.

Many of you may already know this.

All PLL's have degrees 2 or 3?

PLL degrees:

A perms: 84

V perm: 12

F perm: 12

G perms: 4

So 8 of the 21 PLL's have a higher degree.

...I want some of whatever you are smoking.

If you are still wondering why it looks like a fish, look at the cube from a 45 degree angle between the front and right side of the cube. The upper formation of the cube looks like a fish. (The 4 grouped yellow cubes being the body and the 2 individual ones being its tail)

@daggycat2011 its like this reverse the order of the original algorithm and then change the R/L etc into the opposite that is R'/L'

This is boring, I DONT GET IT

your tutorials made my times go down from 2 minutes to 25 second average and i only watched your videos since september so in 3.5 months u made my times drop 1.5 minutes u rok my pb is 14.28 lucky and 21 nl

NEVERMIND about the U2 question...

I figured it out:

Obviously there is no difference between making 2 clockwise or counter-clockwise turns: the face you turn twice ends up in the same position regardless of the direction of the turn.

OK...I actually DO have a high IQ...it's just that on occasion my brain forgets to remember that simple factoid. LOL

I'm new to cubing (although I did have the Rubik's Cube when it first came out over here in the States...but I never solved it back then, so I'm back!)

Question: When you inverted the algorithms, why didn't you have to invert the U2? (Isn't the U2 the move where you spin 2 rows at once?)

Please forgive my ignorance. You are a great teacher, by the way!

LOL nice ending :D

For PLLs I always remember the number of degrees in number of peices cycling around. The A perm has 3 peices cycling, so it has 3 degrees. The T perm has 2 peices cycling, so it has 2 degrees. However, the G perm has 6 peices cycling so you would think its 6 but its actually just 2, 3 piece cycles (Im pretty sure everyone knows that) so its degree is also 3.

Its an interesting concept.

Haha, I thought this was easily common sense. whatever, since people wanted it.

nice ending lol!

@mynameisdarthtater it only has a degree of 63, count the repititions of the alg itself and not the total number of moves
