3x3x3 challenge!

[danerulz]

Scramble your 3x3x3 rubik's cube using only double moves (U2/R2/L2/B2/F2/D2 etc.) and post a video if u succeed.
Have fun!

My method to solve with only half turns:

Spoiler

Do corners first in max 3 moves
Then solve all edges on white and yellow. If you get 'parity', to swap edges on UF and DF, I came up with R2 U2 L2 F2 R2 F2 U2 R2 F2 D2, but there must be a faster alg, and it swaps quite a few other edges (keeping corners solved and solving white and yellow faces though).
Then it's pretty simple. I solve all edges in the E layer with combinations of R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 or R2 E2 R2 E2.
Then it's a simple combination of H perm or U2 M2 U2 M2 algs to finish the U and D layers.
Lol at how slow my method is.

I use roux for it
Its the second stage of human kociemba

Succeed in doing what, scrambling it?

I think he means solving it using only half turns.

 

[danerulz]

Yeah, solving it using only those turns too, sorry xD

 

[Ickathu]

I've done this before. I figured it out myself, though had some trouble when I had a 3cycle on the M layer (M' U2 M U2 type-thing). I figured it out though. I'll post a video maybe this weekend if I have time.

Not quite.

Personally i didn't figured it out yet on my own how to solve the 3x3x3 with half turns. But i also tried it with 2x2x2 and that makes it very very easy

Just got a 4.82 single, 9.18 ao5 and 10.35 ao12 solving only with half turns . Scrambles were from qqtimer < 3x3 subsets < Half turns.

I get stuck at a point where I need to rotate 3 pieces in the equator layer counter-clockwise.

The rest of the cube is solved.

I get stuck at H-Perm. I get your case when I solve the H-Perm.

 

[conn9]

For a H perm I would do (R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U2) x y R2 U2 F2 R2 U2 R2 F2 U2. I get to the point where I know its going to be a H perm if I were to solve normally, and do R2 U2 F2 R2 U2 R2 F2 U2 from the desired angle, which swaps UF - DF and FR - BR, so I don't actually encounter H perms.

The rest of the cube is solved.

I think if you were to put the solved E slice edge in the back right (in the BL/LB spot), then do z (R2 U2 R2 F2) (R2 U2 R2 F2), it would solve.
