There has been a lot of controversy over the use of stickerless cubes in competition, so I thought that there has to be some way to make stickerless cubes legal. The main thing I thought was instead of making the whole cube coloured, just make the sticker area coloured. So, I thought of...

I'm not sure whether this belongs in the OAQT or another sub-forum, so mods feel free to move this. I currently use the Y perm for the adjacent corner swap (UFR + UBL) PLL for Ortega. So, I decided to find the optimal alg(s) for this case using this alg generator. Turns out the optimal number...
