notation

This is a guide on how to interpret fmc reconstructions and how to use the fmc reconstruction notation yourself. This guide will assume you already know how wca notation works in general. As a reminder, xyz follow FUR, respectively. I recommend you to use that as a mnemonic if you need...

What is the point of having a move that does nothing in the scramble?

I am a lefty cuber so I solve the square-1 using left slices and use algorithms that use left slices. I always thought the notation was \ but apparently \ also refers to the right slice. What is the correct notation for the left slice?

How does redi cube notation work? i know the cs timer one but not the one with uppercase and lowercase numbers, does anyone know how it works?

A few minutes ago, I proposed that MES be changed to follow RUF, on the r/Cubers discord. Many members jumped in to support this. One member, Jeed, has been cubing for 5 years and average mid 9. Jeed has been confused and irritated by the illogic slice notations. I'm sure many of you here have...

I'm gonna make this as short as possible, because I don't like reading or writing long things. Now that that's out of the way, I can share my idea with you. There are four parts to this system: Regrips, Moves, and Hand Motions, Rotations Regrips: To signal a regrip, you start with R or L for...

Hi Everyone, I created an alternative notation for cubing algorithms called CuSHan - Cubing Short Hand. It started off as a way for me to get around the clockwise / anticlockwise confusion I seem to struggle with when reading standard notation. I've shown it to a few non-cubers and they thought...

So the conversation in Converting Algorithms to Letters, particularly @abunickabhi 's explanation of his "Yo Notation" as well as his subsequent elaboration on memory techniques, led me to have this idea. Yo Notation is probably better (I know @abunickabhi has put a lot of thought into it and...

I have no idea where to put this thread, so I put it in Software :I I recently came up with a WCA notation called Triggermaster notation, coined from 'trigger' and 'Singmaster.' This notation is meant to help people learning an algorithm to learn and fingertrick an algorithm more easily. More...

I know how commutators and conjugates work, I can read commutator notation such as [R', U] [R2: [F', U'] [R, F] ] (U'), but I have some doubts... ¿Can that decomposition be done with any algorithm? ¿Even with an entire solve? If it is possible, ¿how do you do it? Thanks for your time

M' = Regular M slice M = Backwards M slice Why is this so? It would make a lot more sense in my opinion for the regular M slice to be M and the backwards slice to be M'.

Is there a notation for describing fingering for algorithms? Like the way sheet piano music is annotated with fingering? My notes are littered with annotations like "(g-rt-u)" embedded into algs (= regrip right thumb on U). These help me remember fingerings I've seen in videos or worked out...

Everyone who solves the Pyraminx knows the R, L, U and B for wide turns and r, l, u and b for the tips. But, many solves include rotations. If we ever get a version of alg.garron for pyraminx for reconstructions, how will we show rotations?. Some ideas suggested were to use oR to say a rotation...

I am working on a computer program that works with the 3x3 Rubik's cube notation. I am wondering if anyone knows what this would mean, or if it is even proper: R2 3 (R2 [space] 3) Thanks!
