If you're learning Roux, I think adding the ELL and special cases like that in can only help. It's 29 algs for ELL, and the ZB type table would only have <30 algs, as well. Not too bad. I only notice which edges are bad, and flip accordingly. The recognization takes only fractions of a second. The shortest alg I can come up with for orienting all 6 edges is 11 moves, which is the same as doing it the normal Roux way. M' U M U M' U M' U2 M U M'. Basically, it's a move to flip the UF, DF, UL, and UR edges combined with one for the UF and UB edges. The normal way is M'UM' U2 MUM U M'UM'. I can do that one in about 2.3 seconds. The fastest other one I've found is 15 moves: (M'U)*4 MUM'U2MUM'. You should be able to do that one well under 3 seconds after a couple of tries. I can't complain about 5.35 moves/second. :) The normal way is still faster for me, but I've only practiced the new way for a minute. Time will tell. Still, you really only get this orientation (or the four incorrect edges on top, which solves the same way) 2/28 solves. As far as your first alg you posted, try doing those d2's as U2's. It's the same thing, really, but you can click U2 very quickly with an index finger twice, or follow with your middle finger. I definitely need to learn more of this method. -Mike team [zb] ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
