Noun. The art of solving a Rubik's Cube in least time possible...welcome.
My current speedcubing method is Fridrich method with the following additions.
With this method I have held world records in both single solve and average of 5 for 3x3x3 speedcubing. As of now (Spring, 2006), I hold the WCA official world record average of 5 solves at 14.52 seconds. In this section of my site, I have provided a list of the algorithms I use.
This method is not for beginners, but for people who can already average close to 30 seconds and who want to get under 20 seconds. If you are a complete beginner in
cubing, or want to learn a simple layer-by-layer method, see the first question on my FAQ.
Fridrich MethodThe most popular speedcubing method: Fridrich Method aka CFOP. Below are links to the four steps of the method, with the algorithms and techniques I use.Cross F2L (First Two Layers) OLL (Orientation of Last Layer) PLL (Permutation of Last Layer) |
Misc. Algs/TricksThe top cubers today frequently use a lot more than traditional Fridrich. These are some of the most notable techniques used.Extended Cross (and other block approaches) Free-slot F2L Partial LL Edge Control COLL |
