[Help Thread] Corner rotation algorithms - can anybody fill in the blanks?

G'day, cube aficionados.

I have this picture here (hoping it displays or attaches properly!) of corner rotation scenarios and was wondering if anybody could fill in the blanks for the second and third pairs of permutations. I'm looking of course for simple, similar algorithms to the two already filled in, of about ten moves each, using Left, Right, and Upper layers (or Front, Back, and Upper layers if I've happened to have put any of them out by ninety degrees, and I can do the transposition myself). That or an explanation as to why such algorithms are not possible and how the examples provided are the only possible combination for such a permutation.

But of course there must be something quicker than a simpler, "standard" solve of twenty-three moves, because we all know now that God's Number is twenty.

I'm going to have a hard enough time trying to learn just the first set, let alone another two..

Or can all of these scenarios be covered by something simpler and only slightly longer, anyway, making it all redundant..??

There is a second problem included just there as well but I would actually be surprised if it can be done any quicker than the seventeen moves for separate algorithms of a eight-move corner rotation with triple corner twist (already notated) followed by a standard nine-move corner rotation. Although.. if you had the same thing on the bottom layer... It sometimes boggles my mind that even the Superflip can be solved in only twenty moves...

This newbie thanks you in advance,

Stuart.

Wow, thanks guys!! That was incredibly helpful! Especially that YouTube link! I had no idea that commutators could be so simple! Thanks again!
