A mix of Square-1 and 3x3!

[TimeFreeze]

Ok guys, I have a challenge for you.

Turn your 3x3 into a square-1! Kind of... Basically, I give you a few scrambles that only contain R U and D moves. But all the R moves are R2. You have to get the Top and bottom faces so that they are the correct color, and then use PLLs (don't forget to fix parity!) to finish the top and bottom layers. Here are 3 scrambles:

R2 U' D R2 U R2 D2 U R2 D R2 U R2 U2 D R2
U2 R2 D' R2 U' D' R2 D2 R2 U D R2 D2 R2 U2 R2
R2 U R2 D R2 U' R2 D2 R2 U D R2 D2 R2 U2 R2

My avg is 25.97

I can make CO...but...after that...

I have no idea O_o

I got it into a cube!!! Oh wait, it's already like that


the first part kind of reminds me of doing 5x5x5 centres

Isn't this almost equivalent to the 2x3x3 Rubik's domino? (I say almost because I'm not quite sure about the effect of the 2 middle edges.)

Edit:
UDF2B2R2L2 PLLs: http://www.opticubes.com/cubing/pll/
Probably there are someways to tweak them to make them R2UD
Or just find new algs using ACube.

I know right, if i do EO i mess up CO, and how would you do CP? thats what i want to know

R2 U R2' U' R2 U' D R2' U' R2 U R2' D'

This is the same as solving a domino, isn't it? I did this the same was I do that.

Why do people keep making threads about some generators, and call them something silly?

20.13 22.49 12.24 > 18.29

Really, none of these should have been over 20. :rolleyes:

Also, Domino Y-perm that's good to know: R2D'R2'UR2U'R2'DR2U'R2'UR2UR2'

I fail. Thank you sarah.

What? Why? Why force a certain method on us? And why don't you restrict moves for solving? Your instructions allow me to do F moves, for example. Are you sure that's what you want?

I think what you wanted to say is just "Let's do some <U,D,R2>."

<U,D,R2> is fun. Epic failed the first scramble, usually I average around 16-18 for this.

24.16 14.15 16.01 = 18.11.

I solve D with blockbuiding, then do CP (domino T-perm) and EP (R2 U2 R2 U2 R2). I guess you could solve U/D and then do CP and EP with both layers but that's a bit slower. (I'm still using <U,D,R2> though, no normal PLLs.) I did that with 3 new scrambles:

26.25 24.39 17.05 = 22.56
