Donovan's Algorithm is complete!!! Only 944HTM/ 990QTM/ 852STM/ 864ETM. A brand new way of doing your PLL skip!

This is the mirrored algorithm of the original because there were some mistakes and it was easier to fix it like this.

This is an informal quest so I'm just adding algs whenever I feel like it. (Not going out of my way to find some)

Super inefficient PLL's 5/22

Edit: The link is to long to post on my profile.
Edit Edit: "Thanks" @Donovan749374 for the alg.

Edit Edit: If you could show some appreciation that would be nice. I was up until almost 1 a.m. last night and a couple more hours this morning working on this.

I don't know what's this but it seems cool

Well you could just play the alg at full speed and it'll only take about 20 minuets.

Or I could do pll attacks 20+ times

This 22LL/2ublocks:

Standard alg:
r U' r' U' r U r' U2 r' D' r U' r' D r

"just re-solve F2L on a different side and get a skip" alg:
R' F' r' F r F U' R U R2 F R F' R

Spoiler: breakdown

z' // change F2L direction
U' // prepare to force LL skip
F' u' F u F // third slot
L' U L U2 F U F' // last slot
U // LL skip

Executed without the initial rotation, it becomes the RrUF alg written earlier.

This cursed alg has a heavy reliance on home-grip F and F' moves, which I don't really like. Standard alg is almost certainly better, but in all honesty I'll remember neither alg the next time I get this case and just do OLL into J perm.

btw, your image is broken

What's broken? Your screenshot looks normal to me.

lol imagine going out of your way to install Chrome and it won't even load websites properly

Use Firefox instead. Or I guess you can bug @Cride5 to add HTTPS support to his website.

Obviously if you use Brave or some other meme Chrome derivative, that's still basically the same thing; don't be silly. Even if you are in fact using some non-Chrome-derivative browser, if it doesn't load HTTP resources, it's still broken, and you should still be using a non-broken browser instead. I'm not going to go out of my way to reupload the VisualCube pics because (i) that's stupid; they still work fine in a proper web browser (tell me, did HTTP suddenly stop being a web standard? should Google be the sole authority on what should load and what shouldn't?) and also (ii) this forum does not support SVG uploads, so it'd be necessary to convert to a raster format first, which is also stupid.

Basically: you're complaining to the wrong person. Bug Cride5, bug pjk to add VisualCube support directly to the forum, bug Google to revert their HTTP breakage, bug anyone but me. I refuse to be in charge of cleaning up after other people.

just don't bother to generate images in another way

I will use workarounds only if necessary to make them work on my machine, and only insofar as they don't violate standards. This works on my machine, and also falls within spec; ergo no workaround on my end.

If you're offering to host a VisualCube instance with functioning HTTPS, together with a promise to keep it running entirely free of charge for at least as long as the original VisualCube has been running up to this point (at least 5 years? idk), by all means, go ahead, and I'll edit all of the VisualCube URLs I've ever posted to point to your instance. I'm not unwilling to compromise; I just won't do it when it requires only effort from my end.

I'm not going to spend any more time arguing about this. I still think you're being absolutely obtuse, but to be fair, so am I. So there's that.

I don't use Chrome.

Imagine posting a picture that doesn't upload for everybody and then give a pathetic diss when somebody points it out.

I'll send e-mail to google asap, don't worrie

wow dude you really like to overcomplicate things.

This disgusting ZBLL/22LL:

R' F R F' R U' R' F' U F R U R' U' R U2 R'
(y') R U2 R' U R' F R F' R U' R' F' U F R U R'

These are also N perm setups. First one has overworked left hand near the end but for some reason I still prefer it over the second. Both seem better than the old algs I had for this case.

(Callback to this: )

(U) F U R U’ R’ S U f’ R’ f R U’ R’ f’ R

 

[BenChristman1]

I’m on Chrome, and the image loads fine.

 

[xyzzy]

(U) F U R U’ R’ S U f’ R’ f R U’ R’ f’ R

Huh, interesting. This seems to get me nice singles but the S U f' in the middle is really tricky. Is the S move supposed to be done with left index, or is the U f' supposed to be done in one motion with the left index (pushing back on FLU then down on UL)?

Also, you can modify this to get an Na perm (of questionable use?):
R' f R U' R' f' R U F U R U' R' S U f'

Personally I prefer doing right thumb to start and push the S with left index and keep it on top during right U then bring the left index back down to do the f’. You can use the middle fingers to do a lot of moves in the alg as well depending on how you execute certain moves.
Edit: also what speed are you getting on the alg? I’m getting around 1.2 at the moment.

 

[xyzzy]

Edit: also what speed are you getting on the alg? I’m getting around 1.2 at the moment.

I had around 2.3 average, 1.8 single earlier, with right index S move, left index U, reset left index, left index f'.

Your execution is what I meant by the left-index S move, and it seems to flow okay, but my left-index S moves are really inconsistent. Not really in the mood to drill algs now but I'll try timing with this execution later.

edit: Got around 2.0-2.1 averages with both executions. No clear winner yet. Also, I'll still have to use the RUF alg for big cubes, anyway.

r F2 r' F2 U2 r2 U2 r' U2 F2 r2 U2 F2 r U2 F2 r(17 STM)
inefficient but cool new alg for the lucas parity case
(I ran the classic setup on CE for the first time and got this)

EDIT: 2L' U 2L U' 2R U2 2L' U 2R' U2 2R U' 2L U2 2R' (15 STM) here's what I think is a double parity which might be useful? (I might be wrong tho)(also, I used a different setup)

EDIT 2: I found this 15 mover too:
r U2 l' U2 l U' r' U r U l' U r' U2 l

It's slice move variant is apparently a 4 cycle of dedges that's probably useful for cage:
2R U2 2L' U2 2L U' 2R' U 2R U 2L' U 2R' U2 2L

EDIT 3:
Another 15 mover: r' U l' U2 r U2 l U2 r' U l' U l U' r
