Some of cubewhizs' algorithms dont work?

So Im trying to learn the 4LLL and I printed out all of the algorithms for it on cubewhiz.com and most of them work, but there are a couple that dont, so maybe you all can tell me algorithms you use, ive also checked a couple other sites that have lists of algorithms for the 4LLL and I cant get any of them to work for certain cases, but I understand the notation, I can do most of the algorithms. So I dont get it. 1st: The Permuting the corners has three algorithms and the first two work, but the one that doesnt is the one where each corner has to be swapped with the corner infront/behind it. 2nd: the Orientation of the corners, the first one on his site I cant get to work, it says R2' D R' U2 R D' R' U2 R'? Those are the only two that I cant get to work so can you help? Plus Im new here so Hi everyone! And I tried the search function but I couldnt find anything about this specific issue. If it means anything, Ive been cubing two monthes or so and my best time with the layer by layer method was 1:15 with a store bought cube and I am planning on getting a speed cube once I learn the 4LLL and F2L.

Depends on how you put them on.

Dude check it out. Thanks for the help:

Alg works fine for me. Make sure you're doing your D turns in the right direction.

Welcome to the forum!

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

You are probably doing the D moves in the wrong direction. Here is an animation of the alg:
R2' D R' U2 R D' R' U2 R'

Does a stickerless cube need lubrication?

*frowns* why wouldn't it

Looks good

On the WCA Delegates page it says "WCA acknowledges the following members as candidate delegates for official WCA competitions" does this mean that the people listed below can be the only delegate at an official competition?

That entire page isn't up to date. I know because Arizona has a delegate that isn't listed.

Are the following instances DNF or +2?
(1) Cube solved but corner twisted in place
(2) Cube solved but center piece popped out

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Are the following instances DNF or +2?
(1) Cube solved but corner twisted in place
(2) Cube solved but center piece popped out

(1) is a DNF, (2) is no penalty, as long as a maximum of 2 centre caps fall of, else it's a DNF

 

[TheNextFeliks]

No penalty if one center cap pops off? So if it does happen just ignore it.

Yeah. If it's just one or even 3 center caps the cube is still unambiguously solved so you're fine.

So I wonder, is there a program/spreadsheet that accept time in the format of qqtimer, xx.xx, xx.xx etc. Then create a graph out of the data?

=___= Somebodeh at least give me a direction to dig infos?

 

[Evan Liu]

=___= Somebodeh at least give me a direction to dig infos?

You can copy all your times into notepad and save it as a .csv file (under the "Save as Type" dropdown, you have to select "All Files", then type .csv as part of the file name), then open the document with Excel and create the graph from there. However, the numbers probably have to be in the format you suggest (xx.xx), as Excel thinks numbers in the format of (xx:xx.xx) are times of the day.

Is there any oll/pll generator that can automatically generator random algorithms for me?

 

[Gumpsy]

what is a fun puzzle i should buy, i have a sqaure one, pyraminx, 3x3, 2x2, what should i buy?

 

[TheNextFeliks]

For alg generators, I don't know any besides CubeExplorer.

Clock and megaminx are both fun. No point getting a magic. I enjoy 4x4 also.

4x4 and megaminx. Maybe 5x5 too since it's so inexpensive
