last layer megaminx help

[panyan]

i can do everything apart from the last layer fine. I am using dan browns algs from the cfop system and when i try to apply them to the last layer, they completely screw up the cube. I have used eriks site and it still seems to screw up the cube and the youtube videos dont make any sense because i do the same thing and screw it up again!

most of the 3x3 algs don't work on megaminx. For the corner orientation you can use sune, or R' D' R D. For corner permutation you can use R' D2 R adjust U face R' D2 R etc...

Edge Orientation:
FUR U'R'F' - 3 prongs
FRU R'U'F' - "Arrow"
Same as 3x3 basically

Edge Permutation:
R, BR, BL edges
Clockwise: R U2 R' U' R U' R
Counter Clockwise: R U R' U R U2' R' (Note: U2' is not the same as U2)

Corner Orientation (THIS IS A SLOW WAY TO DO IT).. Hold Minx so that the corner that needs orienting at Front-Up-Right
Now do F D F' D' until the corner is correctly oriented, and once it is.. Turn the U face to put another corner that needs orienting into Front-Up-Right and repeat.

You can also do this with the Megaminx upside down and doing R U R' U'

Corner Permutation
Put a "wrong" corner in Front-Up-Right

Take note of the colors of the corner (other than the LL color)

Perform R' D R

Now turn the U layer so that the two edges that correspond to the colors of the corner you just "removed" with the R' D R move are at Front and Right

Now do R' D' R

Now, if the corner that was "removed" this time is a LL corner, do the same thing you just did (turning the U layer to put corresponding edges at Front and Right) but reverse the D turn again (you'll know you're turning it the right way if the corners you "remove" keep coming back up).
If it's not an LL corner, just replace it (by reversing the D turn again) with any incorrect LL corner, and repeat the above process, putting that corner in it's place, reversing the D turn etc etc.

Hope that made sense..

this reminds me of the LBL method, is there no CFOP equivalent?

has videos of the OCLLs that I think you want, as well as the EOLLs, and some CPLLs and EPLLs. Many of them are similar to the 3x3 2 look OLLs, so they aren't too hard to learn if you know the 3x3 'version' already.

in addition, yu's website here lays it all out easier. he imbeds all those youtube videos on the same page and writes down the algs he uses.

Note that Eriks Algos are correct notice the difference between R2 and R2'. I was compeletly confused by them until I realised their importance

Did you try to perform half-turns on your megaminx ?
