The "Request an Alg" Thread

[shadowslice e]

Can anyone send me a few screenshots of algs where all the edges are in their respective layer, belt is solved, corners are solved, but permutation of edges in their layer are scrambled.

Example of what I mean :L2 U' L2 U D L2 D' L2 R2 U R2 U' D' R2 D R2 algs like that, double H-perm and so forth MUD or LUDR please. If possible.

Umm... The [[Belt method]]? But you could so this intuitively with LEE at the expense of maybe only 2-4 moves...

When I solve the first layer of the Pyraminx and have two edges inserted but in the wrong place, how can I solve that without the usual procedure, that is, taking one out, inserting it to the other slot, and then do the like for the other edge? There should be 4 cases for this.

Yeah. That's called FP. I only know one optimal alg for it but some of the others are quite nice.

Block on UL and no good edges: R U' L U' L' R'
Block on UB and 2 good edges: R' L R L' R' U' R U L' U L
1 good edge pointing right on UR (hold with your first side block on R): L R' L' R U' L U' L' R' L R L'
1 good edge pointing left on UL: R' L R L' U R' U R L R' L' R


Yay someone else using FP

Yeah, I meant to say the edges are good, no bad edges.

I'm almost done learning OLL. Does anyone know a good place to learn COLLs? Badmephisto and the Speedsolving wiki both don't have any (I far as I know).
Thanks.

andy klise's coll pdf is great. It is where I'm learning all of mine from.

Algdb.net! I've learnt 6 sets from there!

I've learned COLL here, but there are other sites also

Go nuts.

...why didn't I met you earlier xD

2 3x3x3 double corner swaps?

Diagonal on the top layer and adjacent on the bottom or vice versa one alg preserving edge orientation, the other not and both preserving the e-slice.

Preferably in <U,R,L> or <U,R,D> please.

Thanks!

Not sure if this is what you want, but here are a few. All of them swap UBL-UFR and DFR-DBR corners with preserving the E-slice.
Also the corners' orientation does not change. Not sure if you want it that way.
All of these and many more were found by JAcube. It is written for searching algorithms. Kinda useful.

I wonder is there any algs then you need to switch 2 adjacent pieces on 2x2 first layer shorter then the T-perm? Like R2 F2 R2 for 2 opposite corners.

You could use PBLs:
R2 U R2 U' R2 U R2 U' R2
x R F' R U2 R' U R' x'
Or maybe:
R U' R2 F R2 U' R'
but I don't know one even close to the length of the diagswap alg.

Another alternative I got from a friend, very similar to the last one TDM posted:

R' F R2 U' R2' F R

Hate the normal Ways to do this OLL.
Anybody have a nice alg that's A little bit different? I don't like Ls to much as well the way with the Rws mixed with Rs just is a bad combo for me with this alg.

There's: R' U2 R U R' F U R U' R' F' R, kind long though.

Thank you!!!! Just what I was looking for.

If you're looking for more alternatives for common sets check out: algdb.net, I'd be suprised if this alg, along with others that may interest you, could not be found there.
