How would you tackle this F2L case?

[iasimp1997]

R' F R F', orient LL edges, insert corner, orient LL corners.

If this isn't the last slot to fill I will almost always do keyhole; if it is, I know a lot of different ways to do this case, and will usually get an EO skip out of it. So I definitely have no set alg for this.

Guys, guys, it's all about (U') F' R U R' U' R' F R. PB is 0.44.
EDIT: Correction, 0.41.

Ooo, that is another good one! I find that first F' a bit slow, but after that the whole alg has a really nice flow to it, especially the end! Thanks!

Try index finger push on RFU, it puts your finger in position for the U and makes it flow like a dream

Wow I like this. Will have to remember that.

Setup: R U R' U' F' U' F U


This case has been bothering me for a while, I just can't find a solution for it that I like! When I first started, I used:

(R U' R' U') (R U' R' U) (R U R')

But that was a bit too long, so then I tried:

(R' U' R' U') R' (U R U R)

Which is ok, but I always fumble it when I try to execute it quickly. Recently, I've been toying with:

d' (L' U L) d (R U' R')

Which I think has potential, but I don't really like the use of double layer turns.


How would you tackle this case? Please assume that every other F2L slot is filled. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

d' L' U' L d R U R'

that's how i do it, nothing fancy

I love you.

 

[Feryll]

simple.
R U2 R' U R U2 R' U2 R U' R'

Wow, 2 gen. This might be my favorite so far. I only used the beginner's one, and it was the shortest on CubeExplorer when I searched for one, so I just figured that was a bad case.

Yea, that's what I use. I found it on my own a while back.

I think it's about time I started using this algorithm. Doing it the "beginner's" way is too slow.

Agreed. It's time I stopped using the beginner's way to do this case as well. Great alg, Escher.

 

[Hiero]

simple.
R U2 R' U R U2 R' U2 R U' R'

either

R U R' U2 R U R' U2 R U' R'

or

R U R' U2 R U R' U' R U2 R'

Not much difference except you do 1 less U turn.

Quick, someone add these to the wiki!

Let's get some better algs for all the cases.

Here's a link for that case: http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php?title=First_Two_Layers&action=edit&section=35
And here's a link to the wiki page: http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/First_Two_Layers

Right now, that page sucks compared to OLL and PLL, and I know it because it is best to do F2L intuitively, but as demonstrated here, there are clearly some sweet algs to know.

 

[Rayne]

I use the one I learn from the begginer's method.. Holding the edge on the front I do: U' L' U L d R U' R'
(I'm not that good at d 's so I do a cube rotation with a U instead)

I do this.

 

[kunz]

D' R' D you left the rest of the cube blank

 

[radmin]

I use:
U' R' F R F' R U R'

!
You made my day with this one. It's golden!

 

[Googlrr]

D' R' D you left the rest of the cube blank

He said "How would you tackle this case? Please assume that every other F2L slot is filled. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!".

The way I do this probably sucks, but I would use U M U' R U M' U' R'. I like this because it only moves 3 pieces which makes it easy for me too see ahead a bit.

 

[reThinking the Cube]

It is best to be able to recognize that case with the slot at BR and edge at UL - saves [y' U'], and gets both thumbs on top for doing - R' U l (U' R U R').

EDIT: after getting both thumbs on U the x' cube rotation is natural to bring thumbs to front, and so the alg (R' U l U' R U R') when actually executed, could technically be seen as also done this way - x' (R' F R)(U' R U R').

 

[oskarasbrink]

U' F' R U R' U' R' F R

or

u' R' U R u if it's flipped

 

[eastamazonantidote]

If EO is done: R' U' R' U' R' U R U R

Otherwise one of:
y U' L' U L F' L F L'
y U' L' U L U y' R U' R'
F U2 L F' L' U2 F'
R U R U2 F R' F' U2 R2
U B' R2 U' R U R2 B
B' R2 U' R' U R2 B
U M2 L U F U' M' x' U' R'

 

[ManasijV]

I know a nice algorithm for this case.U' F' R U R' U' R' F R
or the inverse both of which are really fast
