A Collection of Algorithms

r U r' U' r' F r2 U' r' U' r U r' F' = A perm

look familiar?

 

[TheMachanga]

T perm U2 T perm = E perm

 

[Vinny]

T perm U2 T perm = E perm

H perm + U2 + H perm = U2

 

[Rpotts]

Ua Perm + Ua Perm = Ub Perm O_o


R U R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R2 U' R' = anti sune COLL for the not-anti-niklas but close case.

just a conjugated OLL/CLL.

 

[DaveyCow]

@Vinny, TheMachanga: The math (specifically, algebra) comes back to haunt us! pretty kewl stuff!

z' D' L U' L2' D L' D' L2 D U ... J-perm, found while messing with my cube in the train this morning

 

[Lucas Garron]

R U2 R' U2' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F'

Look familiar to anyone? It should

I'm not sure I understand. That alg is two OLLs with a simple cancellation. The fact that this results in an OCLL alg is expected.

However, I think playing around to find algs is very useful. Someday it'll be so common to you that you'll smile and continue instead of requiring a whole thread to announce it. ;-)

 

[Cubenovice]

lol clockwise U-perm, idk if it's (a) or (b):

(sune) R U R' U R U2 R' [U'] (anti-sune) R' U' R U' R' U2 R

nice alg, huh?

Old alg you mean...
Now try using Sunes to twist two corners

 

[Bapao]

Ua Perm + Ua Perm = Ub Perm O_o


R U R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R2 U' R' = anti sune COLL for the not-anti-niklas but close case.

just a conjugated OLL/CLL.

I also noticed that pretty early on because I was getting Ua and Ub mixed up

I also noticed OLL 18 alg R U R' U' R' F R F' in the Y perm alg F R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R F'. Not a big deal I know, but it made me realize that I need to think more about what algs actually do to a cube instead of blindly following instructions.

 

[Tao Yu]

Here is a cool Y perm I found with two OLLs

FR'FR2U'R'U'RUR'F'RUR'U'F'

I used it for a while in solves but switched back

I remember there were "Make your own PLL/OLL" competition threads where people made their own PLLs and OLLs by breaking up the F2L and restoring them in a different way. I made up my own OLLs like this when I was too lazy to learn an alg

 

[Kirjava]

Old alg you mean...
Now try using Sunes to twist two corners

L'UL AntiSune L'U2L is pretty sexy

 

[jrb]

M2 U' M' U2 M2 U2 M' U M2=Z perm I found when I was messing around with M and U

 

[Tao Yu]

Isn't this the same as this?

Oh well
3x3

ULU'FRUR'F2LFL2 (j perm)
FR'FR2U'R'U'RUR'F'RUR'U'F' (y perm)

 

[JyH]

R B' R' U R B R' U2 L U L'

so useless, but not in wiki, so

 

[blackzabbathfan]

Counter Clockwise U Perm from the back

R,U,R',U,R',U',R2,U',R',U,R',U,R,U2

Its easier than it looks

 

[Tao Yu]

Counter Clockwise U Perm from the back

R,U,R',U,R',U',R2,U',R',U,R',U,R,U2

Its easier than it looks

Sorry, but...

Its a good alg though

I think he might have been talking about how it's very similar to a T perm. Rearranging it like you would to turn a T perm into an F perm gives the same COLL case (didn't check if its the same ZBLL) but from a different AUF:

R U R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R2 U' R' (U')

 

[Jaycee]

Yes Lucas, riffz is correct. It's exactly the same as T perm except for the fact that first U and U' are U2s.

 

[Hershey]

T perm:

(R U R' U') x (R' U R U')*2 x' d' L' U L

or (R U R' U') l' (U R U' R') (U R U') x' d' L' U L

Not very practical though.

Bowtie algorithm I found when I messed up an A-perm.
