Ugh!

Wow this week has sucked. I've had a bad case of the cold + the cough. I have done no work on COLLs and think I may have forgotten some. THAT is what I call problematic. I might have to make up 2 weeks work for this one week. I'm thinking my original goal of 2 years in unrealistic.

I'm having problems staying awake right now. Ugh.

Slowly Learning the COLLs

I figure a good way to start learning the ZBLL is to be familiar with recognizing the different cases. Thankfully, Dan Harris and Lars Vandenberg came up with a system to ease into the ZBLL: the COLL. The COLL orients and permutes the corners while ignoring the edge pieces, giving many fewer algs than the ZBLL (40 vs. 500) but making it harder to get faster times. So, once you ave a cross on top, you can simply perform a COLL case to get an EPLL (edge permutation). However, sometimes getting the top cross will also force you to orient the entire top layer, so you have to know the PLLs as well.

I don't like many of the algs I've come across, and because there is so little information on the COLLs, I'll have to create my own. Lars Vandenberg has a well formatted list, Jason Baum has good algs, and Dan Harris is in between. I'll update when I learn them all.
