Interesting pattern thread

Just post all the weird or interesting patterns you can find. I will start off.

Checkerboard. M2 S2 E2, or L2 R2 D2 U2 F2 B2.

I came up with this alg (it is pretty inefficient but fast :p)
Stripes: (R2 B2 R2') y (R2 B2 R2') (R2 B2' R2' B2 R2 B2')
how to fingertrick the third (): the top and bottom faces should have two edges each that are not the same color as the rest of the face. grab them so that your thumbs are on the top two and middle finders one the bottom two. I tend to do a few cube rotations before execution of the third () to make it more comfortable [so R stays R and D becomes F), but just find your own fingertricks...and, I'm rambling. Later.

U S E' S U2 M2 U L S2 R2 E2 R S2

I give this to unsuspecting cubers and ask them to solve the checker pattern.

M R D2 M2 S2 U2 S2 L'

M F M2 B2 E2 B M D M2 U2 S2 U

I've made an algorithm with three seperate patterns on it; I've never seen it before so I thought I'd show you guys.

Algorithm:
U2 M2 y M2 U2 M2 u2 M2 U2 R2 E2 R2

Also, this is my first post here! Hello!

Hello, i was trying to make a 3 colour star pattern on my megaminx but i only get 10 stars instead 12, i choosed gray center, pale yellow edges and dark blue corners in top layer but no matter where i try to get 3 colour star i always get four three color stars and one two colour star upside and the same downside. I need help to choose other schemes to have 12 3 colour stars.

PD: Solved, white center with red edges and dark blue corner in top layer works, twelve 3 colour stars.

Just discovered a 5x5 pattern, not sure if it is new or not:
2M2 U2 * 6 z 2M2 U2 * 6 x 2M2 U2 * 6 z 2M2 U2 * 6 x' 2M2 U2 * 6 z 2M2 U2 * 6 M2 E2 S2

(Note: I'm terrible at notations. 2M = Middle 2 layers).
