after trying a few of these algorithms, i think that they are much faster than those on fridrich's website (the ones I originally learned with). The algorithms here are written in a way that makes them faster to execute, which is nice. My question is, of these algorithms, are they generally listed in order of best to worse, or more popular to less popular?

The description in the wiki tells us to try all of them to see which one is faster to us, which is great advice, but I was just wondering about the ordering because this BLD guide i watched just happened to use two algorithms that just happened to be at the tops of their lists.

Thanks.

In my opinion the Printable versions of these pages look awful with the full links being displayed. The only way I could get these pages to print nicely is to import the original page into microsoft word and do some editing. It might be helpful to others if the printable versions were given a second look. I don't mean to offend anyone :p
here are examples:

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

Some alg for some awkward OLL case. My best is about 0.9x

The mirror alg is better:

x R' U' R D' R' U2 R' U' R2 D x' My best is about 0.8x with this

The inverses are good too :)

Well I use CE5. Ever since I found out about Rowe's E perm, and the fact that Morten can do an E perm in 0.72, I've been trying to find more algs which are <RUD> and can be done without regrips :)

Na perm (already known): R U' R' U R B U B' R' U' R B' R B R' U R'
probably much better variation: R U' R' U R f R f' R' U' R U R' U F' U' F

I'll probably switch from what I was using.

Edit: Fun RUD one (for the hell of it, not really practical IMO), I can do it without regrips: R2' U D R2 D' R2' U' R2 D R2' D' U2' R2 U R2' U' R2
