SUMMARY

• Consistency

  • Other speedsolving methods have a reliance upon intuitive solving for the majority of the solve. It is easy to miss a much shorter or more ergonomic solution when turning at full speed. In APB, most of the solve is algorithm based. That means that users will have the most speed optimal solutions every solve and don't have to worry about potentially missing something better.

• Algorithmic

  • Practiced algorithms are likely faster than an intuitive solution.

  • Ensures the most ergonomic solution.

• Great balance of move count and ergonomics.

• LXS, although algorithm based, is intuitive and easy to learn.

• Expandable.

  • Users can learn new pair types, other systems that lead to a different cube state, and pseudo applications. This brings the move-count down even further and provides options for any future developments that come in LSLL or other endings.

The estimated overall move-count for standard APB with ZBLL for an experienced user is around 48 moves. With the many possible advancements it may go even lower.

1. 2x2x3 = ~12

2. Pair = ~6

3. Edge Orientation = 5.41 weighted including AUFs

4. LXS = 8.53 + .75 pre-AUF

5. ZBLL = ~16
