The "Request an Alg" Thread

[ottozing]

I want an alg to help during f2l theres a case that really bugs me. when i have a corner oriented correctly ina slot (not necessarily the correct one, its edge in another slot. such that when i do a D or a D' or D2 to connect them they are flipped incorrectly. can someone give a quick way to pair in this case?

you would probably be better of just choosing a different pair . but if you REALLY want an alg heres this. (setup your cube using R U R' L' U' L U F R' F' R)
at this point just do (R' F R F' U' L' U L) to pair it up

to solve the other edge case (not flipped after ADF), FL slot with an open FR slot:
R' u' R u R

The inverse can be used to insert the edge from FU to FL (without preserving FR slot)

I remember vaguely that this guy's website had an example of set-ups on a 4x4 to do an OLL Parity algorithm, but I forgot the page, does anybody know what setups there are?

Anyone know any shortcuts for this F2L case? I couldn't find it on Macky's database of special cases.

L u L' U' L u' L'. Just figured it out there, think I'm gonna start trying to use that now .

What should I do in f2l if I have a solved corner in D with a solved pair occupying the edge and corner directly above it?

insert the pair above it into its slot.

Is there any good alg for OLL 15 and 16 that doesn't start with a y/y'/y2 or a U/U'/U2 ?

You haven't said which AUF you want it from lol

Could someone give me a Y and a Ra perm that is super-cube safe(doesn't rotate any centres) when doing blind? I am going to start big cube blind now.

Do centers first.

aronpm answered me a week ago.

They are not possible. I suggest solving corners last. Alternatively you can learn what each Y perm and R perm does to U centre, and do AUF after corners and undo it after centres to correct it centre position.

(r' U' r) (R' U' R U) (r' U r) // [r' U' r: R' U' R U]



(l U l') (L U L' U') (l U' l') // [l U l': L U L' U']



y2 (r U r') (R U R' U') (r U' r') // y2 [r U r': R U R' U']



y2 (l' U' l) (L' U' L U) (l' U l) // y2 [l' U' l: L' U' L U]

For OLL 16 FsexyF'AntiSune works FRUR'U'F' RU2R'U'RU'R'

What alg do you use for oll 41? I can not find a good one that I like.

Yeha, I know, I'm awkward

 

[YouCube4x4]

I need an alg for the OLL "superman" other than R2 D R' U2 R D' R' U2 R'...that alg just feels awkward to me.
