What's the longest algorithm you have in active use?

[IAmAPerson]

Mine is my Ra Perm (I was playing around with conjugates+other PLL algs).

R U R' U' L' U' L U2 R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' U2' L' U L U R U' R' (~30 moves. I hate it, but I'm too lazy to learn another alg).

 

[ViliusRibinskas]

Mine is the T-perm and 4x4 OLL parity alg

 

[NeilH]

Holy crap that's crazy. I still use beginner's last layer except for knowing T perm, H perm, and Z perm.
My longest is probably T Perm.

R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F'

14 moves

 

[Julian]

I think mine is Na. J-perm conjugate, 21 moves.

 

[Berd]

The OLL parity lag is quite long, maybe the 5x5 parity alg. I know both.

 

[cashis]

I use a ZBLL thats 24 iirc

 

[JediJupiter]

Mine is my Ra Perm (I was playing around with conjugates+other PLL algs).

R U R' U' L' U' L U2 R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' U2' L' U L U R U' R' (~30 moves. I hate it, but I'm too lazy to learn another alg).

Holy carp, get a new alg for that

My longest is 4x4 parity, 15 moves iirc

 

[TDM]

I think mine is Na. J-perm conjugate, 21 moves.

Same for me; next longest is the [R': Y perm] ZBLL, which is 19.

OP: do you know J perms? If so, then Ra is quite easy to learn. Just make a U and a U' into U2:
J: R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R'
Ra: R U R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R2 U' R'
then do OLL (sune):
R U R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R2 U' R' R U R' U R U2 R'
if you want to cancel the underlined, that can save you a bit of time too.

OLL parity alg.

Or if you want to count my 5BLD double parity "alg" as one algorithm then that obviously, but it's really just OLL parity + another kind of parity alg + T-perm slapped together... So not really an alg in itself as much as 3 seperate algs

Someone posted a lazy-ZBLL in the comments of a Chris Olson video this week. F' Na F. So...

F' (R U R' U) (R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R') (U2 R U' R') F

23 moves. And I think I'll keep it.

R U R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R2 U' R' R U R' U R U2 R'
if you want to cancel the underlined, that can save you a bit of time too.

Fully cancelled it goes: R U R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R U R U2 R'
And why not the RUD alg? Maybe not as easy to learn, but much faster: R U' R' U' R U R D R' U' R D' R' U2 R'

 

[Petro Leum]

this ZBLL: F R U' R' U' R U2 R' U' R U' R' U' R U2 R' U' F' (19 Moves) and its still really fast.

thanks to jan bentlage who showed me that one, the one i had before was really crappy

i wish i had more long, but easy and fast algs like this one... many of my ZBLLs are just plain awkward.

 

[slinky773]

One that comes to mind for me is my Nb perm: R' U R U' R' F' U' F R U R' F R' F' R U' R, 17 moves. It actually might not be my longest one, but for me, it's the one that takes the longest to execute.

 

[tx789]

A-perm I've used it from m the very beginning. But when a first used it, it was for just permuting corners.

Edit: oops above is the oldest not longest. Lofest is hard to say probably OLL partity.

 

[TDM]

Someone posted a lazy-ZBLL in the comments of a Chris Olson video this week. F' Na F. So...

F' (R U R' U) (R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R') (U2 R U' R') F

23 moves. And I think I'll keep it.

why not do it as [y' R': Na perm]:
y' R' R U R' U R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U2 R U' R' U2 R
first part cancels to give
R' U R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U2 R U' R' U2 R
... which is the same length as the N perm without any setup moves.

And why not the RUD alg? Maybe not as easy to learn, but much faster: R U' R' U' R U R D R' U' R D' R' U2 R'

I don't like it. I don't think it's as fast for me.

 

[G2013]

N perms: R U R' U (J) U' R U' R' or L' U' L U' (theOtherJ) U L' U L, both are 21 moves long using FRU J.
And the OLL parity in 4x4 is also quite long (17 moves)

 

[Chree]

why not do it as [y' R': Na perm]:
y' R' R U R' U R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U2 R U' R' U2 R
first part cancels to give
R' U R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U2 R U' R' U2 R
... which is the same length as the N perm without any setup moves.

Whoa... that's exactly the alg that Chris Olson's video was showing. Very cool to see where it comes from. Thanks!

 

[EMI]

I have two 21 movers: The N-perm and the adjacent PLL parity alg (Rw U Rw' R etc.) on 4x4.

Edit: Depending on the metric, the Square-1 Adjacent parity is longer (26 Moves, counting U, D and R2 moves as one each). (adj-U is 28 even, but the pure adj only has U and D at the same time once, so it's closer to 3x3, I guess?)

 

[guysensei1]

And why not the RUD alg? Maybe not as easy to learn, but much faster: R U' R' U' R U R D R' U' R D' R' U2 R'

Noooooo use L U2 L' U2 L F' L' U' L U L F L2

 

[molarmanful]

Noooooo use L U2 L' U2 L F' L' U' L U L F L2

Sorry, I don't even mirrored Rb.

I use both R U' R' U' R U R D R' U' R D' R' U2 R' and R U R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R U R U2 R', depending on what position my hand is in. I use the first algorithm for OH.

 

[henrysavich]

19 moves, this ZBLL : R' F R U' R' U' R U R ' F' R U R' U' R' F R F'

I feel the need to mention Pavan Ravindra's OH H-perm

R U2 R' U' R U R' U' R U' R' U R U2 R' U' R U R' U' R U' R' U' (24 moves)
