Bandaged Cube Pattern

[TimMc]

How can you do the following pattern on a Bandaged 3x3x3 consisting of a 2x2x2 block?

R2 U2 F2 R' B2 L D F' D F' D F' L' B2 R'

The end result should have a "Cube inside a Cube" on the opposing 3 faces.

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to figure it out with only three faces to work with

I did the move on a 4x4 and it looked good!

By the way, where can I get algorithms of some pretty patterns?

Forum Search: Patterns

Or even look up the 4x4x4 Parity thread recently started. There's a link there or one of the images is hosted on a site that has patterns.

Thanks very much!

Shoot - I make the same pattern with an entirely different algorithm. I just checked it, and it also breaks up every 2x2 block on the cube.

Actually, Tim, your alg is better than mine, both in terms of fewer moves and in terms of being easier to execute.

I"ll keep playing with it - if I figure anything out I'll let you know.

I just used Cube Explorer to get the algorithm with the Huge solver enabled

Dunno how to transpose it though....
