I managed to create this in 24 moves in the single slice turn metric. I was wondering if anyone could solve it in fewer turns?
Yes. I just found a 22 by hand:I managed to create this in 24 moves in the single slice turn metric. I was wondering if anyone could solve it in fewer turns?
Oh, I didn't think unsolved was interested, so I didn't give one, but here it is since you asked.Derivation please?
You're welcome.Now I know there is a faster solution. Thanks.
You're welcome.
Also note that my alg is 22 fewer qtm and 10 fewer ftm (OBTM) than your combo as well.
At this point, unless they are new and are unaware of all of the available algorithm sets, I highly doubt it. However, if they do, they will post their request in the "Request an Alg Thread" (where you should have probably posted about this topic to begin with, unless you were going to come up with a conjecture of some kind if no one could beat 24 moves. I don't know why no one else had a crack it your request or attempted to beat my 22).So are there any 5x5x5 algs that come up that cubers wish had shorter solutions? Or are they all essentially "safe" versions of 4x4x4 algs, like the one you discovered?
Here's a 23 I came up with: 2R U2 2R R U' 2L U F2 U' 2R U F2 U' 2L' 2R' U R' U 2R U' 2R' U2 2R'Can you provide me with a "longest known" 4-cycle alg so I can see if the current version of my program can improve on it?

Excellent. I think most of the 4-cycles I found are 15 moves, but this is impressive.My (4x4x4) solver gave a 19 moves solution: 2L2 D2 F 2L2 F' 2R F 2L2 F 2R' F2 2L D2 B2 U' 2R U B2 2L
EDIT: Well, I got a 17 moves solution: 2F2 R2 D2 U2 L2 U 2B L2 D2 2F' U2 R2 2F2 U2 2F' U 2F2
EDIT2: 15 moves solution: 2F2 U' R2 2B U2 2F L2 2F L2 2B' U2 R2 2F' U 2F2
