Hi all, as a maths lover I recently picked up the Rubik's cube and thoroughly enjoyed the online teachings and maths surrounding the puzzle.
I've been writing down the beginner's algorithms as commutators/conjugates for interest sake and to aid my memory. However the U perm anti clockwise ->
y2 (R U’)(R U)(R U)(R U’)R’ U’ R2 has eluded me.
This is the only alg on my essentials list which seems cannot be broken down, so I am curious.
So is there a way to write it as commutator/conjugates? Is there a method to go about breaking down any algorithm? And the theory to explain which ones can be written in alternate formats or not?
Thanks.
