What if I told you that ZBLL can be carried out with:
I recently had dinner with Andrew Kang and Chris Hardwick, whom inspired me to do a little bit of cubing.
As I was going through my old notes, I was trying to figure out ways to reduce the total number of work that I'd have to do to get going again.
I hypothesized that any ZBLL permutation can be solved with the combination of two OLL algorithms.
As I started inverting and combining OLLs to find cases, I realised that SEVERAL combinations of OLLs were already optimal or within a few turns of optimal. Since they're OLLs, they were also fingertrick friendly and most people already know them. It was after I started combining algorithms that I realised that this could significantly simplify ZBLL for easy memorization.
The only thing that needs to be memorized is which combination of OLLs to use, instead of a whole new algorithm.
For example:
Set up the case: R, U2, R2, F2, R, F2, L', U', R, U', L, R', U', R, U', R'
This is solved optimally with the combination of the two common OLLs
[f, R, U, R', U, f'] + [F, R, U, R', U', F']
The f' and the F cancel to become S', which when done with a thumb motion, becomes quite fast.
TL;DR: CTLL is the combination of fast OLLs to do ZBLL, memorizing OLL pairs is easier than memorizing new algs!
I'll be working on this in the coming months, I'll update if I make any breakthroughs!
- Under 200 algorithms.
- Easy memorization.
- Fingertricky, fast algs.
- Near optimal algorithms.

But I think more algorithm "components" should be included. For example, kirjava didn't include F R U' R' U' R U2 R' U' F'. I think perhaps it's worth researching this again.
