I need a little help on blindsolving. How do you refrain from breaking into more than two new cycles? (One for corners one for edges) ---

> [@stuarttw](#): > > I need a little help on blindsolving. How do you refrain from breaking into more than two new cycles? (One for corners one for edges) I almost solved it blind. I had three pieces wrong when i opened my eyes. I know the mistake i made. I did a setup move for “o” and when i undid the setup move i went the oposite way of the way i setup. And i only had to memorize 17 letters whereas it’s usually 20 letters. I really blew a chance. 😢 ---

With my Zanchi I average 50, but my best was 43 (I’m using the beginner method.) ---

> [@kclejeune](#): > > I’m no good at blind, but sometimes you need to break into a new cycle more than once on edges, not sure about corners. I actually realized you will break into the same amount of cycles no matter what because when you look at the cube there will be 1,2,3, or 4 circles (what i mean bycircles is you look for where one piece goes and the piece in the place where piece number 1 should be is the piece that should be in piece number one’s position, in other words 1 goes to piece two, and 2 goes to piece one) in the corners, and 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 circles in the edges. ---

My PB was 32 seconds on a 3x3, but I average about 40-50. I think I could get sub-30 if I memorised all the Fridrich OLL and PLL algorithms, but I just can’t be bothered. People lose their minds then they see you solve a cube full stop, regardless of how long it takes, so I don’t have the motivation to spend all that time memorising them. Oh, and Kclejeune, you’re a flipping beast with that cube. ---

Haha thank you XD > [@stuarttw](#): > > Which is faster, roux, petrus, or fridrich? The fastest is generally considered CFOP (real name for fridrich), although roux is becoming very fast. Try both. I say this because CFOP has hundreds of sub 10 solvers and Roux only has like 4. That being said, roux can be extremely fast and is used by the third fastest person in the world. ---

> [@stuarttw](#): > > Always thought roux was fastest. Not true. If one is called the ‘fastest’, it’s CFOP. The method is by far the most popular and developed. Out of the top 100 rankings, I would bet 98 of them use CFOP. ---

When it comes to roux compared to cfop, in orienting the corners, which of the seven algorithms are the same in both situations?
