📚 Main Topics

1. Introduction to the Z Z Method

   • Comparison with the C FOP method.
   • Benefits of learning the Z Z method: understanding edge orientation and block building.

2. Edge Orientation

   • Importance of edge orientation in the Z Z method.
   • Key stickers for edges: white/yellow for certain edges, green/blue for others.
   • Identifying good and bad edges based on key sticker positions.

3. Fixing Bad Edges

   • Techniques to identify and fix bad edges.
   • Using F and B moves to change edge states.
   • Strategies for managing even numbers of bad edges (4, 8, 12).

4. Solving the Cube

   • Steps to solve the cube after orienting edges.
   • Pairing edges with corners to create squares.
   • Different methods for finishing the last layer (ZBL, COLL, OLL, PLL).

5. Conclusion and Recommendations

   • While the Z Z method can be slower, it builds foundational skills.
   • Recommendations for speedcubing methods: CO-OP or Reuben's method over the Z Z method for speed.

✨ Key Takeaways

• The Z Z method is slower than C FOP but beneficial for learning edge orientation and block building.
• Understanding key stickers is crucial for identifying good and bad edges.
• Bad edges can be fixed by strategically using F and B moves.
• Pairing edges and corners effectively is essential for solving the cube efficiently.
• Familiarity with multiple solving methods can enhance speedcubing skills.

🧠 Lessons

• Mastering edge orientation and block building can improve overall cubing skills, even if the method is not the fastest.
• Practice identifying and fixing bad edges to streamline the solving process.
• Explore various methods for the last layer to find what works best for individual speedcubing styles.
