Hey folks -
 Just subbed this NG hoping to get advice on 3x3 twisty cube technique.
 Currently, I'm learning Roux technique and strugling on the four final
edges - the online wiki's seem to be written for a different sort of
reader because I simply don't understand. The online puzzle solvers
don't utilize predefined techniques.
 Is this a good NG for this? Any cubers in here?
 I tried a big cubing forum, but the people on there aren't friendly.
 Thanks,

I have a Rubik's cube (3x3) and I worked out my own way of solving it back in 1980.  My method is "logical" [to me] rather than speed-orientated - I'm not interested in all the speed record/competition stuff!  The advantage (for me) of my method is that it only has two phases [edges first, then corners], and doesn't require memorising a big list of seemingly random looking transforms.  (Also my method uses the basic structure of the cube and similar puzzles, and so with minor adjustments applies to all the cube variants on the market.)
I've never heard of Roux technique, but I'll give it a go and try to help if you have any specific questions, hopefully together with a web link to the method!
Regards,
Mike.
