A Collection of Algorithms

[TDM]

2x2 PBL/CLL to swap UFL and UFR: z' R2 U R2 F R U' R U' (R' z) R' F R [U']
Can also be done as z' R2 U R2 F R U' R U' (R' z) L' U L [U']

While playing around in cubeexplorer I found this alg for OLL 56:
R U2 S U2 R U2 R' U2 R' S' R'

Time for the experts to fingertrick it.

 

[Jaycee]

R U2 S U2 R U2 R' U2 R' S' R'

I really hope this could be fast- I don't like my current alg for this case.

 

[Akiro]

Don't know if I really invented this one but I never saw it anywhere else :

M' U M2 U2 M2 U M2 U2 M'
also written (M' U M2 U2 M')x2

(actually an X-Perm...)

 

[Phillip1847]

2 OLLs:
R' U' R U (F R U R' U' F') R' U R
and its inverse
R' U' R (F U R U' R' F') U' R' U R

 

[TDM]

Don't know if anyone uses/knows this PBL already, but (setup with R' F R F' (R U2' R' U)2: L F' R U2' R' U R U2' R2' (or [R' L'] as last move). It's the Adj-Opp PBL followed by R2 B2 R2.

 

[CriticalCubing]

I made a file stating the Plls I use and these are some good fast plls. If anybody want them. meh!
PLLS!

Started using this F-perm recently for this angle, Breandan said it looked kinda fast when I showed him so maybe it has potential. Very similar to a known alg, but weird execution.

B' R2 F' R' z' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' f

For B', regrip right hand so thumb is on DR and turn with your left fingers. That leaves the left hand in the standard place after the z'.

Nice, I'll try and time this tomorrow to see what I get.

How about: (thumb on DR) f' U2 F' U' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' f

Not working. z' is unneeded.

EDIT:
What about another variant:
r' U2 R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' f

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

What about another variant:
r' U2 R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' f

Then you may as well do the original: R' U2 R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' F

That is a COOL alg and it is U2 position from my regular alg. Good for Multi angle.

 

[Renslay]

Uhm... Indeed. Didn't notice that.

F r2 R' U2 r U' r' U2 [l R] U' R' U r2 u'
F r2 R' U2 r U' r' U2 [l R] U' R' U r2 D'

 

[Bindedsa]

My first attempts at using cube explorer too find ZBLLs, not really sure how to see if something is finger trick friendly though: all are Diag Pi cases.

R' U2 R U2 R2 U2 D' R2 U R2 U R U2 R2 D R'
R U2 R' U2 R2 U2 D R2 U' R2 U' R' U2 R2 D' R mirror sets up the other case

R U R' U L' U2 R U2 R' U2 L U' R U' R'
R' U' R U' L U2 R' U2 R U2 L' U R' U R. These set up themselves

edit: A Nice alg for an easy to recognize case with 2x2 block: R U2 R' U' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R'

 

[TheNextFeliks]

After 20 minutes I found this nice algorithm for the U COLL that could be R' Y-perm R.

U F R' F' R U' R' F R F2 U F U' R U R'

 

[Comicjosh]

nice

 

[guysensei1]

U R U' L U2 R' U R2 U R U R2 U' R' U' R2 L'

F perm.

Might be good for OH. I'm trying it's mirror because I OH with right hand.

 

[pipkiksass]

Nice alg for this OLL, which I've tried learning about 5 times, but I think I've finally found an alg that will stick:

y2 then

 Twizzle link 

R’ U’ R d l U L’ U’ L l’

from Sebastien Felix website.

You take out the pair in BR, move the unsolved F2L slot to BL, then do a rotationless insert (the one I usually use for this F2L case, by chance) in BL.

Found its mirror on the wiki - not sure which I prefer yet:

 Twizzle link 

R U R' d' l' U' L U r' R

- same but with FR and FL.

R’ U’ R d l U L’ U’ L l’

I've used a variant of this for OLLCP for a while now: F' U' F U r U R' U' R r'. Exec tip: I do the F' with my right thumb, then I have a grip with thumb on FU and ring on BU, and keep them on those stickers until the second U, which means I do the F like a U turn. It's fun.
