My Brain, Oh Well, Onward!


February 29th 2012:
Dang, I give props to those who learned all of ZBLL, especially 4Chan who learned it in 2 months, because jeez! The first set  is already messing with my brain a bit, but one must push foreward!
Anyways, today I learned:
The O/O Case is: (R U2 R2 U) (R' U) (R' U) (R' U) (R U2 R2) U' R2

L,Left Hand? Darn, I'm Right!

February 28th 2012:
The algorithms are piling up, it is becoming a Little of a struggle to keep them straight,I have mastered the first few, it’s merely the A/C and A/O which are slightly confusing me due to my lack of ever using the L & L’ and being able to use finger tricks with that hand to ease my muscle memorization.
The A/O Case is: (L' U2 L) U2 (L U2 L') (U' L' U L) U' L U' L'

Next, the As


February 27th 2012:
                I believe that the way I mentioned prior is a good way to study ZBLL and shall continue to do so, though i might take some days off to merely practice.
Today I ended up learning A/C for the T COLL, first sub-set.
The A/C Case is: (U L' U') (L U' L') (U L U' L) (U L2 U L2) U2 L'
I the L’ that’s red is highlighted because i always screwed up on it, so i just think “I gotta go back” in the sense that i don’t go directly to put in the F2L pair, i first go back by doing “L’” before insertion.

ZBLL, The Second Day

February 26th 2012:
                I’ve decided that no matter what on the weekends I’d learn 2 ZBLLs a day for consistency, I’m still wondering on whether I should practice during the week or learn one a day instead of 2 during the week.
Anyways, today I learned the C/O case and CxC case.
For the  x cases I’ve decided to call them “squares” to not confuse mysyself with the C/C. For example if I get a CxC case I think “C Squared”, if I get a C/C I think “Correct, Correct” or “Double correct”.
Though my recognition methods suck, I first desire for the links between what the cube looks like, how my hand moves, and how the cube looks as I move it to be engrained into my brain (Muscle memory).
The C/O Case is: (L U' L') U2 (L U L') U2 (L U L') U (L U' L')
The CxC case is: (R U2 R' U') R U' (R2 U2) (R U) R' U R

ZBLL The Beginning

ZBLL Diary:
All Algorithms are taken from Simon Swanson’s ZBLL 3.00 compilation.
February 25th 2012:
                Today I learned 2 cases, those being the  C/C and C/A cases of the T COLL, with subset of
B
B
F
F
The C/C Case is: (R' U R U2) (R' U2 R' U') (R U' R' U2) R U2 R

The C/A Case is: (R' U R) U2 (R' U' R U2) (R' U' R U') R' U R
For the C/C case I used a block type recognition, I saw the top right completed after recognizing the COLL and its sub-set.
For the C/A case I used a simple knowledge method, aka, what’s adjacent, what’s opposite.
