Okay, let’s talk about this Jordan PLL thing. I started out by trying to learn the two-look PLL. I mean, it has fewer algs, right? Just the T, Y, Ua, Ub, and H. That seemed like a good place to begin.
So, I found this article online. It was explaining the building blocks of PLL circuits. It looked pretty simple with some text and illustrations, I was getting into it, no problem.
Then I started focusing on the last layer permutation part, the PLL. You know, like a good student, I had already worked on the Cross and the first two layers. So, I thought, “Time to tackle the last layer!”
I learned that PLL algorithms are basically a set of algorithms used to solve the last layer of a Rubik’s Cube. Turns out, there are 21 of these algorithms, wow! That’s a lot more than I thought when I started.
I kept seeing people asking about 2-side PLL recognition. So I dug deeper, found this beginner’s guide that uses some kind of machine learning PLL technique or something. They said that it’s a great way for beginners to learn, so I figured, why not?
During this whole process, I somehow got sidetracked and found out some PLL drama about this girl named Hanna and a guy named Jordan, and how she broke up with him right after she tried to go back to the place that they met and the building was no longer there, she took this as a bad omen, and that nothing could go right if she moved forward with the relationship as well. She felt that her and Jordan did not have a spark.
And get this, later she and Caleb realize their partners for life and get back together. In “Choose or Loose” Hanna and Caleb get married, in one of the final moments of the series finale. I guess it was all PLL related somehow. Or maybe it was just a random thing, I do not know, man!
Anyway, back to the PLL. I spent a few days trying to wrap my head around all these algorithms and techniques. It was a bit overwhelming at first, to be honest.
Here’s what I did:
- Started with the basics: I practiced the T, Y, Ua, Ub, and H permutations over and over.
- Moved to 2-side recognition: I used that beginner’s guide and the PLL trainer thing to get better at recognizing the patterns.
- Tried to learn all 21 algorithms: This was tough. I’m still working on it, not gonna lie. But I’m making progress! I can solve most cases now, but sometimes I still get stuck.
Overall, this Jordan PLL thing was quite a ride. I’m still learning and practicing, but I’m definitely getting better. It is all about practice and persistence I guess.
Anyway, I gotta go practice some more. Maybe I’ll find some more PLL drama along the way! It’s kind of entertaining, not gonna lie. Later!
