A Collection of Algorithms

[Christopher Mowla]

Here's an adjacent double parity alg that only uses one inner slice turn and is just a conjugate:
[Lw U Rw2 F Rw U' Rw U' F2 U Rw2 U' R' U': r] (35,29)

Here's a OLL Parity (Only) Last Layer algorithm which is also just a conjugate:
[B2 U d' R2 d R2 u2 R2 Uw2 F U F' Uw' L Uw' R' u' F R u F U' D' B D F Dw L' Uw2 L2: E u'] (78,62)

A long but fast Ab perm I just "found" (it's just OLL 34 followed by OLL 37):
Headlights on B face:
(R U R' U') B' R' F R B R' F' R U R U' R'

OLL 49

y2 r U R’ U R U’ R’ U R U2’ r’ (from the orientation on the wiki)

anyone want to add this to the wiki? I think it is certainly faster, more fingertrickable and easier to execute than most of the algs listed under OLL 49, yet isn't there. I found it by mirroring the left hand heavy first alg listed for OLL 53: l' U' L U' L' U L U' L' U2 l , which Im not so keen on.

OLL 13:
R U2 L' U' L U2 R' U' L F' L' F

It's not optimal but it's still pretty fast and easy to remember:

Found it by messing around with F2L pairs on the top layer... Take the right-front one out, move it U2 away, bring the left-front one out while putting the right one in the back-left slot, take the right one out of the back-left slot and insert it back with U2, then insert the left one with a sledge hammer back to its spot.

OLL 14 is just a mirror:
L' U2 R U R' U2 L U R' F R F'

Good N Permutations

I recently found a good N(a), N(b) permutation.

N(a): http://badmephisto.com/pll_files/pll20.gif
(R U R' U) (R U R') F' (R U R' U') (R' F) (R2 U') (R U2) (R U' R')

N(b): http://badmephisto.com/pll_files/pll19.gif
(R' U R' F) (R F') (R U' R') (F' U F) (R U R' U' R)

I recently found a good N(a), N(b) permutation.

N(a): http://badmephisto.com/pll_files/pll20.gif
(R U R' U) (R U R') F' (R U R' U') (R' F) (R2 U') (R U2) (R U' R')

N(b): http://badmephisto.com/pll_files/pll19.gif
(R' U R' F) (R F') (R U' R') (F' U F) (R U R' U' R)

I do a variation of the second alg: (R' U R' F) (R F') (U' R) d' (R U R')

 

[omer]

I do a variation of the second alg: (R' U R' F) (R F') (U' R) d' (R U R')

This alg does absolutely nothing to the cube.

 

[Julian]

I do a variation of the second alg: (R' U R' F) (R F') (U' R) d' (R U R')

I do the same but end with f R f'

 

[Robert-Y]

r U r' U' R U' R' F for FR pair

l' U' l U L' U L F' for FL pair

It's also not bad for the other pair

Weird ZBF2L stuff

r' D r U' r U' r' U r' D' r
r' D r U' R U2' r' U r' D' r

On the wikis PLL page, it posts the most common algs first, right? Well, The first Y-perm is that horrible 17 move one. I have come up with a 13 move one. R' U' Lw D2' Lw' U R Dw R2 U' R2 U' R2 Never again will I use the 17 move one. I have also found this PBL algorithm which I beleive is easier than the algorithm on the wiki for the same case. Swaps UFL - UBL and DFL - DBL. F2 D F2 U2 R2 U R2 It also preserves the middle layer and edge orientation on the 3x3 and is the same amount of moves as the one o the wiki.

r U r' U' R U' R' F for FR pair

I'm not even close to getting this to work.

I have come up with a 13 move one. R' U' Lw D2' Lw' U R Dw R2 U' R2 U' R2

That's not that bad, but I still prefer R2 U' R' U R U' x' U' R' D R' D' R' U R (x).

F2 D F2 U2 R2 U R2

If this is for 2x2x2, ewwwwwwww. If it's for 3x3x3, R2 U' R2 U D R2 D' R2.

r U r' U' R U' R' F for FR

it's beautiful

any good algs for OLL 41 and 42?

 

[mati1242]

any good algs for OLL 41 and 42?

OLL 41 Headlights on the back:

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

OLL 42 Headlights on the front:

R' U' R U F R U R' U' R' U R U' F'

or Headlights on the left

(R' F R F') (R' F R F') R U R' U' R U R'

 

[Smiles]

thanks for the quick reply!
for OLL 41 im currently using R U' R' U2 R U y R U' R' U' F'
and OLL 42 im using the crappy one with 2 rotations

 

[mati1242]

Hope that the ones I use are better ^^

Is there a Sledgehammer or similar for the first F2L case? Some nice tight low move count way to insert the last f2l pair when split and change the LL edge orientation a little bit? Besides stopping short on correcting the first case and then doing the sledgehammer?

All I can come up with is F' U2 F U (F R' F' R) That's almost as long as the VHF2L for it that will put up all four edges.

Edit added URLs and an example to try to be clear.

Huh? could you be a little more clear? I don't really understand what you're asking for.

as far as i know, there isn't one short enough that affects EO.
U r' R2 U' R' U M'
you can use that if it's easy enough. sledgehammer-like would just be too good.

when i get no edges with that case, i just insert it. the dot cases are only barely longer than the average OLL, and a 3-move insert is much better than 7 or 8 with a chance for a better OLL. remember, some OLL cases are really bad and some dot cases aren't so bad.
