2-Gen 2-Look OLL/PLL Algorithms

[Your Mother]

Do they exist? If so, what are they, or where can I find them?

 

[cincyaviation]

Can't flip edges with 2 gen, can't permute corners with 2 gen.

i always wondered whats this 2-gen or 3-gen.... can any1 enlighten me here??????

Yup, 2-gen means you use only 2 sides of the cube for an alg like RU 3-gen thus 3 sides of the cube like RU and F
Hope you question is answered?

You can't do 2-gen OLL unless you already have the cross on the last side. For example



cannot be solved 2-gen but this...



you can.

But this

cannot be solved 2 gen.

If it's 2-look, I suppose you could do 2-gen for each step.
<R,U> for CO
<M,U> for EO
Most people don't like <M,U> too much, though.

What about <r,U> solving?

I was referring to OLL and that isn't the same as my picture so why quote me.

 

[Kirjava]

it seems that you implied that "cross on the last side" was the only requirement for 2gen.

Does it make more sense now?

 

[Your Mother]

Well, what if I had the cross on the last side already done, and all 4 in correct place? Would 2-Gen algorithms be applicable? Or would the PLL still take 3-Gen algs?

All corners need to be done for 2gen. So this is just the EPLL cases.

 

[Your Mother]

I'll probably just stick with normal 2LOLL/2LPLL algs then. It'll also give me a start on full CFOP that way. Thanks anyway!

but this algo contains RU moves only that means 2 gen , no??

 

[NaeosPsy]

But later? You can't do 2-gen PLL with this.

 

[Stefan]

Every scramble can be solved 2-gen if you just use two good generators.

Oh wait, this isn't the theory forum. Nevermind.

 

[Kirjava]

Using multiple moves in a generator is cheating
