How many algorithms have you learned?

Proof that Fridrich achieves faster times. I went there.

Oh yeah?

http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=1982PETR01

Same average, but Petrus has better single and more continental records.

I'm well aware Fridrich is faster. Really I am. In fact I almost want to make a thread proving it....well, at least that Petrus is harder.

My main argument is that I am proportionately faster at Fridrich, which I never use, than a Fridrich user is with Petrus. I can sub 25 Fridrich with ease.
(I encourage someone to show me otherwise.)

Ah, but are these times not years apart?

Petrus + 20years = Fridrich

at least that Petrus is harder.

HAHAHA...yeah...

I do Fridrich, get 25s averages, and can get sub30 averages with ease.

 

[keith_emerson]

24 OLLS
16 PLLS (Don't know Jb and Gs)
5 Special cases of F2L

45 algs
But an average of 38 sec... :-(

Very bad cross and f2l look ahead.

Look at the dates again. Petrus beat Fridrich in 1982, and they are about the same speed in recent years. Sub-30 Petrus with ease? It better be real Petrus with 2x2x3 in less than 15 moves and real EO. If you are what you claim, you will be faster with Petrus than Fridrich in a week.

 

[jackolanternsoup]

Hmm. Lets see.

57 OLLs
21 PLLs + another 6 variations of other PLLs
1 F2L strange case thing which I found a nice idea to memo
2 BLD edge flipper thingies
2 4x4 parity algs
28 COLL algs minus 5 repeats form the OLLs = 23 (lacking the Sune family COLLs)
2x2 16 extra algs.

Grand total of 127 algs. Woah. Hahahha.
Ahem. My Fridrich, which I'm ditching now is about 23s
and my current Petrus is like... 35s (working on being a real man.)

 

[Escher]

3x3: 35 PLLs + ~70 OLLs + 12 COLL + 6 F2LL + 8 ELL + 18 special f2l cases

= 160 algorithms

2x2: 40 (+8 extra) CLL + 8 EG#1 + 7 PBothLs + 2 PBottomLs + 2x2 Y + 4 Guimond (non. int.)

= 70 algorithms

4x4: double O, pure O, P + 1 4x4 special OLL (see wiki) = 4

5x5: 2 last tredge cases (should learn em all...)

Pyraminx: 1 (two edge flipper)

Megaminx: 1 EOLL + 6 OCLLs + 3 EPLLs = 10

BLD: 3 Classic Pochmann Corners algs = 3 (turbo counted in ELL)

total = a nice round 250.

 

[Ganesh1995]

I am guessing aroun 250 including big cubes, 3x3, 2x2, etc.

 

[cunningcuber]

How many algorithms do you know?

I always wondered how many algs most people know so I decided to post this poll.I've been asking myself the average number of algs so after a while, I'm going to do an average on the number of algs.

 

[irontwig]

Do you count inverses and mirrors as separate algs or not?

 

[Cubenovice]

Recently passed the cape of 100 algs (mainly due to learning full OLL)

I count inverses and mirrors if I can apply them in a "speed" solve>
I do not count them if I only know them well enough to "work them out" during FMC

 

[~Adam~]

Not a very accurate poll. The majority will likely vote 90+

For which event(s)?

Not specified so I would assume all.

 

[TheMachanga]

57+21=78.

Then I know some f2l tricks, lots of square-1 algs, megaminx last layer algs, 2x2 CLL algs, parity algs for big cubes, BLD algs, etc.

90+ for me.

 

[cunningcuber]

I count mirrors as the same algs but inverses are counted asseparate algs. For example, Sune and Sune mirrrored are counted as the same alg but Sune and Anti-sune are counted as diferent algs

For which event(s)?

Oh sorry for that it's for 3x3x3.

 

[drewsopchak]

Not enough options.... most people know at least 150.

 

[Godmil]

For BLD it's super easy to memorise coms, only took me a few weeks of casual learning to exceed this poll.

 

[Owen]

15. I hate memorizing them.

 

[emolover]

21 PLL's+57 OLL's+27 ELL's+16 of the 42 COLL's+8 of the 16 L3C pure cycles+x amount of different algs for the same case=129+ alg for 3x3.

 

[Pete the Geek]

I have memorized the algs to solve cubes and the megaminx. I've also memorized the algs to solve the Dayan Gem III. For my non-speed puzzles, there are probably 100 algs that I haven't memorized because I don use them often enough. I make a reference sheet for each puzzle that has tables with diagrams and algs. I much prefer organizing to memorizing. Of course, if I spend a few minutes with the reference sheet, algs start to come back to me, but I don't consider that memorizing.

 

[NoHacer]

I only know 27 and my average is 42 seconds..... but I am using mostly intuitive f2l for now and 2 look oll

Haha so many mirrors and intuitive cases!
