K4

I put together a document showing my current best (briefest mainly, but some are okay for execution speed) collection of algorithms for all 58 K4LL 2 2-cycles. I probably explain more than anyone wants to know on the first page. I know that it's possible that I did not arrange the cases the way most prefer, but I tried my best...

I just deleted that post ^ because I updated the document. I went here and looked at the first 82 "seed algorithms" listed (12 moves max) and found briefer algorithms for 14 of the 58 cases.

Here's the updated document:

2 2-cycles.pdf

I credited this source as "AF" (Algorithm Finder) followed by :S_ _. . The number following the S is the seed algorithm number (the seed algorithms first listed on that page I just provided a link for).

Note that several algorithms that existed prior to generation date of these "seed algorithms" can be made from these seed algorithms, but I did not credit that source for algorithms which I definitely knew existed before. If someone has created one of the algorithms I credited to AF's seeds (prior to December 14, 2011), let me know.

I found multiple solution's from AF for the cases I added algorithms from it to, but many of the solutions were similar (even though 82 seed algorithms are listed, I can definitely say that more than half were closely related), and I chose the best solutions with speed in mind. However, some cases from AF didn't have fast solutions.

All cases now have pure solutions.

In addition, all cases can be handled in 15 btm or less! Here is the btm move distribution (of the shortest algorithms for all size cubes) in the collection provided in my document.

7 (1)
9 (4)
11 (10)
12 (6)
13 (23)
14 (8)
15 (6)

Average: 12.52 btm/case.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I've followed the link in Kir's OP and its to a dead site pretty much, just ads and stuff. Does anybody know of a new site where Kir has the same info from this site? Was gonna PM him but thought this would suffice, plus this way other people can see. Also since this link is the one in the wiki, it probably should be ammended (assuming I'm not just being a complete tosser and doing something wrong here).

Does that link work for you? Thats the one I tried a few times, from different sources and most of them didnt work, with one of them eventually bringing me to a domain that is clearly not kirs page.

That is the right link. here's a link to one of the subpages incase its just being odd. http://snk.digibase.ca/k4/1.htm

Ofcourse the link works, its the only link i know of.

That link can be a bit 'iffy' for me, 8/10 days it works fine and loads instantly, the other 2/10 days it either won't load at all or takes forever to open and is just a black page... this used to annoy me a lot but since I printed the pages off I just refer to my notes if I forget anything or need to top up on something
