Found a new E-perm on the train!

[abr71310]

I looked at the Speedsolving wiki, and I did not find the algorithm that I discovered on the train.

Yes, it is similar to a lot of them, but for a right-handed solver like myself this makes it much easier on the hands, since it requires no rotations and no pesky U2's that take sooooo long for me (cuz I'm a noob, okay? )

So, just like the picture in the Speedsolving wiki, this swaps the two on the left with the two on the right (or vice versa, LOL).

(L R' U' R U L') (U' R' U R) (r U R' U' r' F R F')

The last (r U R' U' r' F R F') is the OLL that everyone LOVES for the chameleon on the left. (I assume "everyone" because most of the people I know that cube with OLL use that...).

You could also fingertrick the last part with your left hand to sort of get a...
... (U' R' U R) (r U R' U' L' U R U')
fingertrick going... I found it a tiny bit easier but I like the original better.

If somebody else discovered this earlier, please feel free to take credit, I was trying to find a way to do the E-perm without using any cube rotations on the train on the way home, and this ACTUALLY sped me up considerably.

Hope it helps someone!

Also, I have been doing this one handed and found it SO much easier on my hands.
Doesn't even hurt after finishing it!
My old E-perm OH: 8.xx
This E-perm OH: 5.xx

Good 3 seconds? LOVE IT.

I like this algorithm a lot. I prefer to start with an x' (Although I realize that's what you are trying to get away from ) so I can just do an M' to start it off, and then it's really fast from there. Plus, I already have half of the algorithm memorized

I'll probably start using this. My old E perm was pretty slow with all the rotations in it.

 

[abr71310]

Yeah, so was mine, I hated it!!!
So many x rotations made me sad, so I was like, PLEASE get a sub-3 alg!!!

 

[Chapuunka]

I use x R U' R' D R U R' u2 R' U R D R' U' R, but I don't actually do an x at the beginning. I do an l U' R', and so on. Same with A perms, etc.

 

[Xishem]

That's the algorithm I normally use, and it's really fast other than that super-ugly u2 in there. That slows it down twofold.

 

[Rayne]

Badmephisto's alg only requires one rotation, two if you count moving it back but you don't need to do that with a solved cube.

 

[Xishem]

That's OH, Anthony

Also, what are your guys' PBs with the RUD E perm?

 

[Anthony]

That's OH, Anthony

Yeah. I deleted my post. What an idiot. lol. Delete yours too, I suppose.

 

[TrollingHard]

Bah, after I just learned an E-Perm.

*forgets*

START PROGRAMMING THIS INTO MIND.exe

 

[abr71310]

LOL.
Everyone's offering alternatives!!! -- does anybody find this alg useful?

I'm sure some will, but it's just too long for me. I use the one with D turns and another one sometimes as well.

 

[eastamazonantidote]

It's alright but a little too long. My favorite is r U R U' L' U R' U' L U R' U' L' U R U'. The <R,U,D> one is a little too slow and I don't want to have to work on it at all.

 

[SuperNerd]

I love this alg, but I do the rotation and M' to start as well. I find it makes it much faster. Thank you so much, now OH E perms aren't as crappy

 

[abr71310]

That's fine, modify how you wish.
I find this alg 10x better than any OH alg currently available for the E-perm.
How does one go about updating the Speedsolving wiki?

 

[Tim Major]

I find this alg 10x better than any OH alg currently available for the E-perm.

R2 U R' U' y (R U R' U')*2 R U R' y' R U' R2'
Is pwn for OH. And for 2H.

 

[peterbat]

I'm a fan of:

z' (R' F) (R2 U R' B' R U') (R2' F' R) z (R B R')

(credit to j-fly)

I should mention that this is my fastest E-perm. (Around 1.9 seconds for me as of 5/14/2010.)

I know that you posted right under my post in my thread, but did you try my OH E perms?

 

[abr71310]

Yesh, but mine are still faster for me.
I'm too accustomed to learning my algs faster... hehe

I like this one two

I love this alg, but I do the rotation and M' to start as well. I find it makes it much faster. Thank you so much, now OH E perms aren't as crappy

Same here I was just looking for a better E perm just now.

These are both great

I found a 12 T Perm today.
