How to learn BH efficiently

[cmhardw]

My undying gratitude? I could also buy you a cookie at our next competition (if I remember correctly, there was a bet going around the blindfolded forums recently involving the loser giving the winner a cookie, and the parties involved actually paid up at their next competition!)

I would, of course, give credit where credit is due in the link description!

D R' F2 R D' R' D F2 D' R. The D turns are left pull, right pull, left pull, left push, in that order. Ring finger, of course.

Yeah, that's how I do it, except that, for me, the right pull is sort of both right pull and left push at the same time. After a few more practice tries, I was able to do a sub-3 average 10/12 of it, so I'm satisfied I don't need better. I would imagine a decent speedsolver could very easily sub-2 it.

Chester, you should hold out for one cookie per file!

I sure hope you're counting each image as a file

I've just parsed Chester's page and extracted the corner cases into a single YAML file. It's pretty easy to change the buffer now, but generating the sticker definitions for Conrad's Visual Cube will probably be a pain...

And thanks Chester for that algorithm - it's pretty nice .

Oh, that's nice.

Sorry.

[00:45] <Piecez> (ULF DRF BDL)
[00:45] <Piecez> U R' U' L2 U R U' L2 is supposed to be able to solve that.
[00:45] <Piecez> can you find the rotation? i can't :/
[00:47] <+aronpm> Piecez: maybe also an error?
[00:47] <+aronpm> idk
[00:47] <Piecez> :/
[00:47] <Piecez> ok ill post
[00:48] <Piecez> i'll try another alg
[00:48] <+aronpm> wait
[00:48] <+aronpm> y'?
[00:48] <+aronpm> do y then alg
[00:49] <+aronpm> nope

 

[blah]

Sorry. Just saw this.

y x2

Edit: Oops, U R U' L2 U R' U' L2.

You have more wrong with your site, I lost the little notepad I had going, but I just noticed right now that your ULF DRF LUB (That cycle) is listed as A9 on your site. However, after 15 minutes of very annoying searching, mirrors, inverses, etc, I was unable to find the rotation. I go to Chris's site and he lists (UBR buffer) this alg. Column. Not A9. This is 11 moves.
U B U2 B D' B' U2 B D B2 U'

I wish I didn't lose the notepad.

On that note,if you setup the alg Chris uses, and do y' to make it ULB buffer, anyone have a fast execution for that cycle? . ~42% done my project...

Not optimal, but z [R U R2 U' R', F2] z'

EDIT: Or optimal: x' L2 U' L2 U' R2 U L2 U' R2 U2 L2 x

Funny because after I went to bed I got up, and tried that insertion, literally that same alg, but I ended up with a twist. I musth ave some something wrong, held wrong or something.

I feel dumb. I like the alg though so thanks Riffz.

Wait, what? Ctrl-F ULF DRF LUB takes me to Eleven, which is aptly named. None of my algs are named A9 O_o

And here's a good 12-mover for Eleven: [Rw U L2 U' Rw', U2].

 

[RyanReese09]

Listed as A9, as in, an A9 alg.

 

[blah]

But it's not. It's listed under Eleven. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.
