Yes, you're right. Actually it's of course the same, just holding/rotating the cube differently. I actually do something in the "middle" I think. I've included this remark on my page now. I also fixed two mistakes in algorithms, made the page look a bit better, and added Pedro's issue and another suggestion how to hold your arms. > If stuck with a diagonal pair at the end it can also be quite > elegantly combined into: > > (Rr) U' (Rr)' U (Ll)' U (Ll) [pieces in Ufl and Ubr] > or (Ll)' U (Ll) U' (Rr) U' (Rr)' [pieces in Ubl and Ufr] Right. To be honest, I also use that in the middle of the solve. When the intervening shot would have to go to L or R, I'd have to rotate the cube first, so instead I solve the diagonal pair like you said. It's also good because it doesn't require any 'setup' move, you can use one of those two algs right away (this is something I only thought about right now). I'll add this to my page, too. > Do you have any data on number of moves for your technique compared > the 'usual' approach (opp centers, any 3rd face, adjacent 4th, > simultanious adjacent 5th/6th)?? I think both need about the same number of moves, around 30. I'm usually a bit over 30 but when I explained my method to Ron he soon told me he averages about 28-29 I think. Since I don't use that 'usual' approach, I don't exactly know the number of moves it requires, but I think it's about 30 as well. Thanks for the feedback and suggestions :-) Cheers!
