As the title.
I have learned about 200 formulas most of which are the CFOP . I don't think they are enough for me . My 3x3x3 is Aver 18s .I am Not satisfied with it.:eek:
 
I probably know about 250 or so (not counting intuitive F2L), I don't remember the last time I tried to count them all :p

edit:
OLL: 57 + 30
PLL: 21 + 20
Optimal F2L cases: 10
CLS: 20
3x3x3 pattern making stuff: 10
"working OLL-skip" algs: 15
2x2x2 algs: 10
4x4x4 parities: 2+3
BLD (edge flips, corner twisters): 20
4x4x4 last edge cases: 2
5x5x5 last edge cases: 5
square-1: 20
megaminx LL: 20

total: 265
lol I was pretty close

Assuming this thread survives now, hmm... I dunno, let's count.

CLL = 40
Ortega = 3
EG = about 10
PLL = 21 + 3 (I learned a new CW U, Ja, and Z)
OLL = about 45
Parity Algs = 3

Total = about 125
 
I do intuitive f2l, so i don't really have many F2L algs
but I use for 3x3x3:

Two beginner 2nd layer algs
three F2L algorythms I don't know the names of
sexy move and dan brown's version of that
two look OLL (minus headlights for which I still use a combination of sune and antisune)
two look PLL (plus 5 extra plls)
Dan Brown's corner permutation alg
that's about it

2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 8 + 1 = 28 algs

4x4 and up adds two parity algs and an edge algs I don't use anymore

28 + 3 = 31

and for other puzzles I only really use algs for SQ1
hmm, intuitive cube
intuitive orientation with exception of two algs
two parity algs

31 + 2 + 2 = 35

lets see....I count algo as a sequence of moves that I perform without understanding...so intuitive and commutators are not counted as algo to me..

2x2 : 0
3x3 : 56 - oll(30) pll(22 *I know two F perms*) special patterns(1) middle layer permutation(3)
4x4 : 3 - edge pairing(2) parity(2)
5x5 : 1 - edge pairing(1)
pyraminx : 2 - last 3 edges(2)
rubik's magic : 1 - solution(1)
megaminx : 0
rubik's clock : 0
square-1 : 27(still increasing..)

= 90 algos..
 
I revised the number of algs I know...

for r4:
for last 2 dedges of cage: 31
centres: 12 base cases + all angles + other special algs = ~22

r5: additional ~20 cases for centres

for 3x3, 20ish OLLs, full PLL.

2x2 CLL: 3/7 done.

total:130, I decided not to call intuitive algs as algs learnt...otherwise the number of algs I know for 4x4 alone would be 70-80ish.

I shall finish OLL and CLL....xD
 
It's not about how many algs you know, it's about how you apply them. A friend of mine knows a grand total of about 6 algorithms (never bothered to learn any more) and averages around 30 seconds.
 
All of these are counting mirrors.

2x2: 42 total
PBL: 6+5
CLL: 25+3
EG: 3

3x3: 129
optimal f2l: 6
OLL: 57+20
PLL: 21+17
random LL: ~8

bigcubes: 6
parities: 5
last edges: 1

pyraminx: 1
1 alg for 2 edge flip

megaminx:
~4

Square-1: 36
EO: 5+1
CP: 8+2
EP: 10+2 non-parity, 5 parity
BSQ: 3

uhh so thats about 218 total, but if you count cubeshape algs then its closer to 300, since I can see how to solve pretty much every cubeshape from inspection (not always optimally).
 
Algs I know:

2x2:
Ortega last step 2

3x3:
OLL- 15
PLL- 21
Roux: 8

4x4:
Parity- 1
Yes, I am ashamed to admit I have never gotten around to learning an OLL parity alg. :(
Last 2 edges- 1

5x5:
Parity- 0
Haven't learned this one yet either.
Last 2 edges- 1
Pretty much just mess around with it until I get the right case.

Square-1:
Cube shape- 1

Total= 50 algs.

This is not counting other algs I can use for different OLL+PLL cases.

2x2:
Fridrich - 9

3x3:
OLL- about 10
PLL- 21

4x4 and above:
Parity- 2
Centre switcher - 1

Square-1:
Cube shape - 2
CO - 1
EO - 1
CP - 1
EP - 1
Parity - 0 cant be bothered to learn it

Pyraminx - 4

Megaminx - 0 but I can still solve it

Magic - Not really an algorithm

Skewb - 5

Miracle sphere - 3

Magic rings - Not really an algorithm

Void cube - Parity + 3x3 algs

Whip-it! - 0 but I hold the UWR

3x3 octagon barrel - Both parities + 3x3 algs
 
I solve my collection using:
27 - ZZ F2L:7, OLL(corners only):6, PLL:14
5 - Guimond orientation:1, permutation:4
2 - CF: edge permutation/orientation
1 - 8355: corner alg
1 - 5x5 parity alg
Total: 36 - not bad for a goldfish like me :D
