"Headlights" algorithm unnessasary? (2-Look OLL Fridrich)

[Dene]

Wow, everyone has a different Headlights alg. It is indeed my least favourite.
I use the one I got off Lofty's site, which is the mirror of Lucas':
R' U L' U R U' L U2 R' U R

 

[MyklSkeleton]

My alg

It was a bit tricky to get used to but I use R2 D R' U2 R D' R' U2 R' like the OP mentioned.

 

[MistArts]

R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R is very fast. The D's should go very fast using ring fingers.

this is to correct you:

What you are doing is in-fact 17 moves:
(D' R' D R)*2 U' (R' D' R D)*2

LETS COUNT!!!
1, 2, 3, 4 for the first sequence. 4*2=8
1 in the middle. 1*1=1
1, 2, 3, 4 for the last commutator. 4*2=8

add them all up: 8+8+1=.....no, its not 9...... its 17 o.O



BTW, the OLL which you should learn is kinda like my A-perm

x' R D' R U2 R' D R U2 R2

omg... lol I'm SOOOOO stupid.... thanks for pointing that out LukeMayn.... wow and to think I thought I was right

 

[fanwuq]

R'D'RDR'D'RDUD'R'DRD'R'DR
is "17", but
R'D'RDR'D'RUR'DRD'R'DR
is 15.
Which isn't that bad. You can actually keep it. I do prefer the optimal alg, however.
Consider to execute the alg as
z'U2R'UL2U'RUL2U

 

[MistArts]

x2 R U' R' F' U' F D F' U F R U R' D' x2

Which is pure... 14 moves...

found it today:

headlights in the back, then do:

( R U R' U' )*3 ( R' F R F' )* 3

24 moves

find the alg on that page and watch him. After that, you'll love this alg.

I would gladly watch him but his site asks for Flash 6 or better. I have Flash 10 and the videos don't play. Too bad.

 

[Joker]

I use the alg OP posted.
I find it pretty nice.

found it today:

( R U R' U' )*3 ( R' F R F' )* 3

24 moves

R B2 R F2 R' B2 R F2 R2

9 moves

 

[Cool Frog]

R U R' U R U2 R2 U' R U' R' U2 R. This is what I use

flash 6 message won't stop showing =p
just right click and press "play". when buffering is done it will play.

 

[~Adam~]

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

10 moves

R B2 R F2 R' B2 R F2 R2

9 moves

But 5 180s

 

[mr. giggums]

But 5 180s

But it's a pure BH commutator.

Thanks. It works. I should have think about it.
I downloaded the file but no player is able to play it. :rolleyes:

found it yesterday:

it transforms headlight in a much easier oll and solve it.

hold the headlights pointing your left. and do:

F ( U R U' R' ) F' f ( R U R' U' ) * 2 f'
-----------------------------------------------------
time analysis (ignore my skills):

my main headlights algo: ( z' U2 R U' L2 U R' U' L2 U' z )

5 avg: 3.26

F ( U R U' R' ) F' f ( R U R' U' ) * 2 f':

5 avg:5.53 =P

Learned it two years ago:

it transforms headlights into a much easier OLL and solves it.

Hold it with headlights facing towards you and do:

R U R' U R U2' R2' U' R U' R' U2 R
