fast way to do the U perm ? (a.k.a. F perm)

[ProfilesRubiks]

i can do the U perm,but i'm struggling to do a fast finger trick for it,i can do a finger trick for the first four moves,other than that i struggle to go fast :fp

Which algorithm are you using?

 

[PCwizCube]

First tell us which algorithm you use for the U perm, and which one you are talking about (Clockwise, Counterclockwise, or both)

 

[ProfilesRubiks]

i'm using :
R' U R U' R2 F' U' F U R F R' F' R2 U' is it just me or is it the alg ?

edit: if it helps i'm using PLL's from http://thesixsides.com

 

[miniGOINGS]

Umm I would say it's the alg

 

[ProfilesRubiks]

well if that's the case,what's a faster alg ? because that one for me is easy memo,but hard to perform :/

 

[miniGOINGS]

M2 U M U2 M' U M2

 

[ProfilesRubiks]

M2 U M U2 M' U M2

:confused: either you typed it wrong,or i'm doing it wrong,you do the alg i listed,and look at the pieces it swaps,what you just said does a 3 cycle of edges :fp

U perm is a 3 cycle of edges...

 

[ProfilesRubiks]

>__> wtf ? then the website i'm using is wrong, the site says it's "double parallel lines (U) "

 

[puzzlemaster]

M2 U M U2 M' U M2

:confused: either you typed it wrong,or i'm doing it wrong,you do the alg i listed,and look at the pieces it swaps,what you just said does a 3 cycle of edges :fp

:fp That's what a U perm is...

M2 U M U2 M' U M2

Your alg is actually an F Perm from the looks of it. Thrawst must have made a typo.

I rather enjoy this one:

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

what you just said does a 3 cycle of edges :fp

That's just cause some people here are absolutely incapable of using any other definition than the one they're used to, even when the different one is explicitly given twice.

And you expect us to use something different to the name that we ourselves have given to the PLLs?

 

[ProfilesRubiks]

sorry for the mix up guys,blame thrawst...lol...and thanks teller,that's perfect,finger trick friendly

 

[Dene]

While we're giving out F perms, try this one: (R' U) (R U') R2 y' R' U' R U y x R (U R') U' R2 (from www.cubezone.be).

This is one I spent a looong time on. The problem with the common (probably best) U perm is that the R turns go in the same direction which makes a regrip almost inevitable. Anyway, here's what I do:

U-Perm (a)
R2 U' R' U', R U R U R U' R
[start with thumb on BDR, index on FUR] R2 U' R' [with left index] U' [regrip, thumb on BDR, index on FRD] R [with ring finger] U R [with index] U R [with thumb] U' R

U-Perm (b) - my favourite
R' U R' U', R' U' R' U R U R2
[start with thumb on UR, index on DR] R' U R' [with left index] U' [regrip, thumb on UR, index on DR] R' [left index] U' R' [ring finger] U R [index finger] U R2

EDIT: Soz if you really meant F perm, but hopefully this will help someone who clicked the thread because of the title

 

[miniGOINGS]

Wow, I should have tried the alg before assuming that someones U perm was, in fact, a U perm.

 

[blade740]

My algorithm for that case is "Set down cube. Stop timer. Take the DNF like a man."

Are you guys sleeping?

The thread title alone should tell you that this guy is probably a beginner. The guy wants to do an F perm. The site he's using lists it as a U perm (so the site is wrong), which is why he's referring to it as a U-perm (and since he's probably a beginner, he thinks it's the same thing). If you looked at the alg he posted in his second post, you'll see it's an F perm.

Dude, your F perm sucks. Here's a nicer one:

R' U2 R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' F
