EPTHoly shit when I finally solved it I was so happy though...
I'm loving the advanced method though, I'll have to try it out when I get back home (why oh why don't I have my cube with me here!)

Haha true ,but unfortunately 99% of the time said guitar is hopelessly out of tune because the real owners never ever actually play it. At least with the cube nothing can stop you, except way too much alcohol. | ||

It looks like really detailed and easy guide. Good work I wonder how many other speedcubers play SC :D | ||

also, nope, i have nightmares about twisty puzzles like that one. this is one of my problems with following guides like these :p not only are they highly susceptible to forgetting the algorithms thus rendering you basically useless, but also are completely not scalable to higher cubes like 4x4x4 or other twisty puzzles like megaminx or sq-1 should write an intuitive tutorial imo (commutators, conjugates, basics of the cube etc). not only does it fix the above flaws but it's like one of the fastest/best "methods" to follow for both blindfold and fewest moves solving! downside is that it requires thinking, of course, and thus not really good for sighted speedsolving which really relies on muscle memory and memorization instead | ||

However the Fridrich method is way more popular among faster cubers (<30 seconds) and is used by pretty much 100% of the sub-15 guys, so it deserves more attention that what you gave it.. Still an awesome guide though! yea, the fridrich method is by far the most common among the world's best, but I enjoyed reading about the petrus method because my knowledge was previously very limited. maybe you didn't include fridrich on purpose because of the sheer amount of algorithms required to master it, hehe | ||

I use the Fridrich method and average a little under 30 seconds. I'd like to get under 20 but I haven't practiced in a while. I use cube4you DIY and cubesmith tiles. I agree with Shinygerbil that the 2-gen algs are better. | ||

). I've learnt it on a site some years ago but I can't find it anymore. It's 8 steps. It's not so fast, but it relies on repeating things to get most steps completed, so it's lovely! Also with my own simplfications it relies on the solver's brains at some part. I can complete the cube in 1-2 minutes. I've also wrote it down, but first I send it to Cube what is he thinking. | ||
