A Collection of Algorithms

[dougbenham]

its just a commutator

No, it's a conjugation: PQP' where P = F2 U F' U' and Q = (R U R' U')3. Commutators are of the form PQP'Q'.

Ah yes my bad. Thanks for that.

This is for OLL 23: (R U2' R' U) (L' U2 R U' R' U2 L)

and also: (L' U2 L U') (R U2' L' U L U2' R')

I think someone might have found these algs before.

My avg with the first alg is around 1.9 (with bad executions included)

The thing I like about this alg is that I hardly get any lock ups with this, most of the time, my execution is near perfect (i.e. no lock ups)

This is for OLL 23: (R U2' R' U) (L' U2 R U' R' U2 L)

I've always used this alg. I just hate the D moves in the more common one. I think I found this on my own; I don't know if I've seen this anywhere else.

For righties: For OLL 29: F R' U' R2 U' R2' U2' R U' F'

When performing this alg, hold the UR edge with your right middle finger and the DR edge with your right thumb and don't let go until you reach the F' which you push with your right thumb to finish. This way, your left hand does not have to regrip at all

And for lefties: For OLL 30: F' L U L2' U L2 U2 L' U F

When performing this alg, hold the UL edge with your left middle finger and the DL edge with your left thumb and don't let go until you reach the F which you push with your left thumb to finish. This way, your right hand does not have to regrip at all

I like that alg, but I don't understand what you mean by don't let go until you reach F' and where you need to position your fingers. I can't reach DR with my left thumb when I'm performing an algorithm.

 

[Robert-Y]

I just corrected, you'll hopefully understand how to do it now.

 

[byu]

Ah, I like the alg now, except I'd prefer to use my left index finger to do F' and not my right thumb.

 

[masterofthebass]

The point of a wiki is for you to add your own algs...

 

[Robert-Y]

What if you want to describe how to perform the algs as well?

 

[byu]

That's what this thread is for

For Lefties!

Aa: y' x L2 D2 L' U' L D2 L' U L x'
Ab: y' x L U' L D2 L' U L D2 L2 x'
Ua: y2 L2 U' L' U' L U L U L U' L
Ub: L2 U L U L' U' L' U' L' U L'
Ja: L' U' L F L' U' L U L F' L2 U L U (Straight from the wiki, but discovered on my own)
Jb: y' L' U' R U2 L' U L U2 L' R U
T: y2 L' U' L U L F' L2 U L U L' U' L F
Y: y F' L' U L U L' U' F L' U' L F' L F

Quick Note: I am not Left-Handed, I just thought that Lefties shouldn't be discriminated by a mainly Right-Handed cubing "race."

Just looking through algos... and I noticed for the Z perm you can do M instead of M' like this:

M U M2 U M2 U M U2 M2 U'

 

[Daniel Wu]

I like doing M' over M. But you can make that

M' U M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U'

right?

 

[Poke]

I like doing M' over M. But you can make that

M' U M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U'

right?

That algorithm is already up on the Wiki. I was just pointing out that you can do M over M'. I have an easier time with that.

M' U M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U'

Wow... someone that prefers M over M'? You don't see that everyday.

 

[eastamazonantidote]

These were found after watching Erik's PLL video and his G(b), I think, alg at the end. Headlights always to the left.

G(a): y R2 U R' U R' U' R U' R2 (U' D) R' U R (U D')
G(b): R' U' R (U D') R2 U R' U R U' R U' R2 (U' D)
G(c): y R2 U' R U' R U R' U R2 (U D') R U' R' (U' D)
G(d): y2 R U R' (U' D) R2 U' R U' R' U R' U R2 (U D')

What do people think of these G perms? (cube rotations relative to the pictures in the wiki)

Note: I have not put these on the wiki yet

 

[Faz]

Those are the 4 standard g permutations, and I dont think many people use different algorithms to them. Also, you forgot to add in the double layer turns.

 

[eastamazonantidote]

Those are not the standard G permutations. They have double layer turns, true, but they leave the middle layer alone. Maybe try the algs first? Watch Erik's PLL video (at the end) to see how one of them is done (I think it's Gb).

Me. You see me quite often, don't you?

Yea, but not everyday

That's interesting though. I hate M moves. Do you do it as r'R? I could never find a good way to do it.
