cool paterns

[MYKE]

i have seen these patterns...
the first one looks like the center peices have been changed:
R2 L2 U2 D2 F2 B2

the second is like a checker board:
M down - turn cube left (repaet until complete)

are there any other cool ones?
with algs?

 

[apoplectic]

i have one called flowers,you just do the thing you do for the center dot in the middle,then do the checker pattern.thats it really.

 

[Rama]

R2 U2 x 3
D2 L2 x 3

My favourite

hah! thats nice Rama! I have ended up in that pattern some times fooling arund. and didnt know how to fix.. now I do how easy!

I dont know if there are a special alg for it. but I can build this pattern where you look at three faces and you see a line going around a 2x2x2 block with the corner twisted the third way.
and its the same thing on the other side. this is my all time favourite!

 

[doubleyou]

btw. there are LOTS and lots of pretty patterns out there.
the fun starts when you move on to 3x3x3+ cubes. this is like 90% why I CAAANT wait for those oplympics to come out

 

[blade740]

F U' B L U' F2 U2 F U F' U2 D' B D L2 B2 U

I actually learned all of that one day, just because I got tired of solving to it.

Yeah, that one Rocks! there is a Rubik's cube in my maths class wich has that pattern

But for the alg I gave you R2 U2 x3 that is also an algorithm what I use if two F2l-pairs are in the wrong slot but the orientation is correct

@ Blade
omg!! thank you so much! my friend is gonna be thrilled when he hears about this
how did you get that alg? please tell me you didnt write youself

@Rama ah thats a cool trick. you dont get that case that much do ya? hehe

 

[blade740]

I think I saw it on some site, and memorized it.

 

[Speedanator]

This website has a list of some patterns...:
http://www.math.ucf.edu/~reid/Rubik/patterns.html

 

[Cubinator]

M2 E2 S2

M E M' E'

M2 E M2 E'

M F2 E2 F2 M' S2

R2 B2 R2 L2 B2 L2

Figured those out just by playing with my cube and using intuition. It's interesting when you combine the center paterns with other patterns (sometimes).

I know I posted this sometime before:

No too bad I don't <_<

But try this one:

F (r U r' U' x3) F'

It is the same case but then when they are both flipped, I don't get this one also that often... :lol:

Edit:

I mean if two F2L-pairs are done, but the edges are flipped in their slot

 

[InfiniteZero]

M2 U2 M2 U2 M2

 

[doubleyou]

ah thats also cool Rama! you could also use commutators for pairs across from each other, right?

 

[AvGalen]

Not really a commutator, more like a setupmove (although the difference is small)

Try B2 U (R2 U2)*3 U' B2

 

[doubleyou]

I guess I never really learned the difference between commutators and setup moves.

I love all of these F2L "tricks". please post all you got (if you want). they fun to learn and great to have on those occasions when you get them.

Cool 11x11 pattern

Just in case you forget which big cube is which.
