A Collection of Algorithms

[DGCubes]

The alg most people use for that case that you referenced is already really good. You might not be finger tricking it that well, because I personally don't think it's an alg that needs improving (unless you're learning its COLLs or ZBLLs).

 

[Krish Patel]

Does anyone else use this Z perm? M U' M2 U' M2 U' M U2 M2 U

 

[Brest]

Does anyone else use this Z perm? M U' M2 U' M2 U' M U2 M2 U

It's the 3rd most used on http://algdb.net/Set/PLL/Z (presuming translating it into M' instead of M because eww M)

The algorithm is not on the website. It is much faster than M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U2 M' and is easier to execute because it doesn't have the M'.

3rd highest voted algorithm for Zperm:
M' U' M2' U' M2' U' M' U2' M2'

which is the same as you posted:
M U' M2 U' M2 U' M U2 M2

except with M' instead of M

M' and M are the other way round to what you're thinking of.

I didn't find the following alg. in nowhere so I am adding to it.

= X U R`U` L U R U` L`


I know that there is a alg for the condition already but I like to use this alg cause it has a good flow.
What do you think about it?

It's here just with slightly altered notation because it's easier to execute like that.

This is the standard COLL algorithm. It's the normal alg mirrored
If you don't know what COLL is, it's just an alg that orients and permutes corners

Interesting N perm:

(r D r' U2)5

 

[shadowslice e]

Interesting N perm:

(r D r' U2)5

I actually use this one (not that I do CFOP as a main though)

 

[obelisk477]

Interesting N perm:

(r D r' U2)5

I find it easier to execute as (r' D r U2)5 for some reason

 

[EetuK00]

I find it easier to execute as (r' D r U2)5 for some reason

Oh thats Na. My alg was Nb
Im going to use that alg. So thanks!

accidentally found this while playing around

U R2 U2 R' U R U R2 u' R' U' R u

turns out to be optimal in HTM

 

[TheCoolMinxer]

accidentally found this while playing around

U R2 U2 R' U R U R2 u' R' U' R u

turns out to be optimal in HTM

I prefer
(x y) r R U R' U' r' U2 R U R U' R2 (U2)

 

[Cale S]

I prefer
(x y) r R U R' U' r' U2 R U R U' R2 (U2)

yeah that alg is better, I just thought the one I found was interesting

I still use R' U2 R F U' R' U' R U R U R' U' F' (U')

U R2 U2 R' U R U R2 u' R' U' R u

how do you "accidentally find stuff while playing around"? just doing random moves?

How do you not‽

well it's easy to discover an alg like F' U2 F U' R U R' U F' U F because it's really intuitive

but U R2 U2 R' U R U R2 u' R' U' R u just looks like random moves that magically flips edges

I started with the F2L alg R2 U2 R' U' R U' R2, then tried to remember a similar alg and tried R2 U2 R' U R U R2. Then I saw I could do a keyhole multislot thing with D' F' U' F D U, and 2 edges were flipped. I took R2 U2 R' U R U R2 D' F' U' F D U and changed the D' F' U' F D to u' R' U' R u and moved the U to the beginning
