Thread: How would you solve this case BLD?

  1. #1

    Default How would you solve this case BLD?

    I'm curious to compare some different approaches (M2, TuRBo, BH, etc.) for the following position:
    Please show your method for solving these edges -

    Scramble: D U R2 D2 L' D U' R B L U2 R' U' L' F

    &size=150&pzl3&alg=DUR2D2L'DU'RBLU2R'U'L'F"

    If you're going to scramble in that orientation, so will I.

    3style:
    x2 U' R2 U' M U R2 U' M' U2
    y z L' U M' U' L U M U' z'
    x M U M' U2 M U M' x'
    z' U2 M' U' R U M U' R' U' z
    x' U' M U2 M' U' x

    x' U2 M' U2 M x
    z M2 U2 M2 U2 z'
    flip UF-UB
    U' flip UB DB U
    flip RB LB
    when I spot certain patterns, I try to execute them together in some way.

    I scrambled in my solving orientation. Solved 3style.

    Flip UR: U x M' U M' U M' U M' U2 M' U M' U M' U M' x' U'
    DF>UB>BD: x' F U R U' M U R' U' M' F' x
    DF>UF>BU: y' R2 U' M' U R2 U' M U y
    DF>FR>RB: z' U' R U M U' R' U M' z
    DF>RF>LB: z' M' U R U' M2 U R' U' M' z
    DF>LF>BL: z M' U' L' U M U' L U z'

    I'm not sure if you'll find this faster but this is what I would do:

    y U2 R2 U' M' U R2 U' M U' y'

    @all, thanks for the solves - they are all very interesting to me.

    UF>BU>DB is [CQW]: [F:URU',M] is faster

    re: D U R2 D2 L' D U' R B L U2 R' U' L' F

    [CQWi]: FURU'MUR'U'M'F'
    [Jt.Lr]: R2E2R2E2
    [birt]: xy (U'R) (M'U')4 (R'U)

    Because this was a very easy edge case, I didn't need to memo and did the following
    y2
    R2 E2 R2 E2
    D U R2 U' M' U R2 U' M D'
    X' D' L' (M U')*4 L D

    Also for Zane
    UF>BU>DB: x' U' Rw R' (U' R U R' U' M' U R U' Rw' U) R Rw' U x - This is one of my least favorite cases. If anyone has something they think is faster, please share.
    I like x' D M' U R2 U' M U R2 U' D' x
    You probably already know this alg, but rotations can make everyone lose some good algorithms
