fish pattern

[HumungousLake]

i was wondering how to get the fish pattern on all sides of the cube (include algorithm)

[Feanaro]

By a fish, do you mean this?

XXO
XXO
OOX

X=oriented
O=Not oriented

[HumungousLake]

yes i forgot most people call it sune but me and my friends call it fish

puzzle theory is not.

you should be able to figure it out yourself using a shitload of R' D' R Ds

if it's even possible

edit 2, looks like a no

puzzle theory is not.

Initially I thought so, too, but after some more thinking I concluded this probably is the appropriate forum after all.

Well I'm just thinking do patterns constitute theory? Hmmmm......

Basically I just thought this forum was going to be about commutators, probability, methods maybe? But something about making sunes on all sides just seems beneath theory. It might have something to do with my original prediction that this sub forum was going to be way over my head.

14 moves, found quickly with cube explorer but I'm not a big user of it so it might be possible to find something shorter.

Edam showed us a way to do it (with certain two corner 3-cycles), but before that, I couldn't easily envision it (*), so it wasn't just a trivial exercise of using Cube Explorer. And there might also be something shorter or more understandable if the four non-fish stickers don't have to be the same color. Finally, not all wished-for patterns are possible, and I think proving a pattern impossible would be good enough for theory. All that said, I just couldn't find a forum where to move it. Can you?

(*) That was partly because HumungousLake agreed to Feanaro's pattern which shows something else, not related to Sune. I thought he called it Sune mistakenly, but now I think he agreed to the pattern mistakenly. In the latter case: moron.

Oh and: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=6+fish+pattern+cube
Watch the video that's the first result.
