Good EG + CLL Algorithms

[masterofthebass]

If you read the previous post, David didn't use your images.

 

[deadalnix]

I read previous posts.

I'm not dealling with davids images (which belong to him, at least not to me). I'm dealing with the images on OLL and PLL pages of the website, the ones with a french keyboard on them and a rubik DIY cube with crappy stickers.

I didn't expect that my post will generate so many answers. I'm felling like the grumpy guy now :'( But I repeat, I have nothing wrong with the reuse of my images, as long as this is done as specified in FDL licence.

lol. Seriously? I found those on google a long time ago. If it's really that big of a deal to you I'll just take my own pictures and replace yours with them. All they are are four pictures of a cube at the OLL, PLL, and solved states, it's not like it's your artwork or anything (at least it doesn't look like that to me). >< I'll take them off soon, don't worry.

I cannot speak for the 3x3 images.

Oh, just for the record, Lance Taylor (LanceTheBlueKnight) let me use his 3x3 images.

lol. Seriously? I found those on google a long time ago. If it's really that big of a deal to you I'll just take my own pictures and replace yours with them. All they are are three pictures of a cube at the OLL, PLL, and solved states, it's not like it's your artwork or anything (at least it doesn't look like that to me). >< I'll take them off soon, don't worry.

Yes seriously But you needn't to brings new ones. You can just tell the source like you do for david. Or take your own, as you prefer, I don't want to say you the way you have to do your website.

I feel, considering the answers I get, that i looked angry about that. In fact, I was more amazed to discover these pictures here than angry.

I'm happy when people reuse the things I do, and it's why I publish them under licence like FDL, that allow reusing. The inly thing you have to do is write something like « picture taken by deadalnix, under FDL licence » or something similar.

The goal isn't to say to people « you are stolling my picture this is bad », but the complete reverse, protect that someone say « this my images, and you cannot use it anymore ». This is using copyright the reverse way as usual, and it's called copyleft : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft

I agree that it isn't a big deal for a picture like this (and not a very creative pictures), but this is something I do for everything I produce because I belive in sharing.

I'm sorry to not being very clear, but this si quite difficult for me to explain this in english (I'm french and not very talented in language in general, so things are sometime hard to express in english for me).

To come back to the subject, great job for EG. I have worked these cases, but, unhapilly, most of the cases are similar to yours so we don't have so much to learn from each others.

I will check all yours cases to see what differs from mine and repport here if I have something more interesting.

Sorry if I came across a little rude, I just don't think it's that big a deal. I might keep your images and just add your name somewhere on the page.

That'd be great. Thanks.

Try these cases :

RU'R2'FR2U'R'
RU'R2'FRURU'R'U'R'FRF' (long but very finger friendly)
RU'R'FRU'R'URU'R'F
RU'R'URU'R'UFRU'R'

 

[Anthony]

1. RU'R2'FR2U'R' - this one is essentially the same algorithm as the one I have posted, just a different way to execute it.

2. RU'R2'FRURU'R'U'R'FRF' - I really like this one a lot. Especially because it switches the two bottom layer pieces in the front and not on the right side like the alg I had.

3. RU'R'FRU'R'URU'R'F - This one is pretty nice as well, but the alg I have is extremely easy to remember and just as fast.

4. RU'R'URU'R'UFRU'R' - I didn't like this one very much at first because it requires an AUF from the standard position, but then I realized it's really just (URU'R')*2 UFRU'R' when you include the AUF, which is nice.

Thanks, I'm going to add the second and fourth algorithm to my website and add your name to the list of people who found the algorithms.
If you find any more, I'd really appreciate it if you shared.

R2U'RU2'RFRF'

R2U'RU2'RFRF'

I don't really like this algorithm very much because it switches the bottom layer pieces on the right instead of the front. I'm actually trying to see if I can find good algorithms for the cases I have that require the cube rotation before the algorithm. Anyway, I'm about to add your other two algorithms to my site. Thanks again.

Try this: F R U R' U' R U' R' U' R U R' F' and the inverse for that CLL. I think it's a lot quicker. Found it out when I was messing around with the cube. It also works as COLL FYI.

Nice find, Phillip. They look great for 3x3 COLL. I'll try them out later and see if I think they're faster on 2x2 as well (at least for me) than the algorithms I already have.

Just finished learning EG1. A couple of new algs I found:

Noflip T: R' U R' L' U' R U2 R' U R2 U2
T something: x R2' U' R2 U' R' U2 R2 U'
T mirror something: x L2 U L2 U L U2 L2 U

L case: x U' R2 U2' R' U R2 U R2'
L mirror: x U L2 U2 L U' L2 U' L2'

A sune case: R2' F' U' F U' R U' R2

May have forgotten some.

p.s. this seemed the most relevant thread, as there isn't really a place where we gather EG algs

these are pretty nice! I guess I'm not the only one practicing 2x2 again

 

[Erik]

Ya I was bored so I learned most of EG 1 in 2 days ^^. I'm still really bad at predicting the EG case in inspection, recognizing the EG case from different angles and also I still need to learn AUF

Yeah, I am too! *high-five*

Still can't break my PBs from year ago though. :/

L case: x U' R2 U2' R' U R2 U R2' I use the standard U R' F R U' R' F R2 U R' F' // U2 R' F R F' R' F R U R U2' R'
L mirror: x U L2 U2 L U' L2 U' L2' R U' R2' U' F U' R2' U2' R same AUF as yours // U' R U' R' U R U' R2' F' R F

I find that algs that start with a rotation are usually really useful to force an AUF skip, otherwise AUF can get awkward. That's why I think these are quite good as add-on algs and probably not for primary use...even then I have put some alternatives that I use in italics.

Found this. Not sure if it's already here.
R U R' U R U R2 F R2 U' R'
Pretty nice one considering I don't have to keep the block on the left anymore.
