2x2x2 algorithm issue

[Karma Cat]

Okay, I've mastered the Right inverted, Down inverted, Right, Down algorithm, it helps alot solving the 2x2x2 cube =)

However I have an issue since I can't really think in those abstract ways and create sollutions of my own...The lack of brainpower is frustrating XD

Anyway, I have a piece I need to move, like in the algorithm I talked about, however the piece is on the left side instead of the right...Can I modify the algorithm to work reversed? I tried simply doing Left inverted instead of Right inverted, didn't work x_x

Mirror it, it will come out as:

Left, Down, Left Inverted, Down inverted.

Thank you =)

Or you could just use Petrus.

Why don't you just turn the cube so that the piece is on the right? Not sure how your method works, so if that happens to be a completely preposterous proposition, then never mind.

I have tried flipping and twisting the cube but it won't work. Dunno if it's becouse I'm dumb or what...Anyway, I'm still a newbie so I don't know any fancy stuff yet, just the basics of orientation and those things, plus two algorithms.

No offense, but that made me laugh .

On-topic: I don't really understand what your problem is. The R' D' R D algorithm, as far as I know, is used for orienting (twisting) pieces, not for switching them.
