New(?) Headlights Alg

[comface]

I was messing with my cube and I found a nice alg for headlights.

It's very similiar to a clockwise three corner cycle PLL.

The notation is as follows:-

l2 U R' D2 R U' R' D2 l'

If you can perform the 3 corner cycle fast then this will be a breeze.

The onyl problem is that to get yellow on top again you'd need a cube rotation x.

What do you think?

 

[masterofthebass]

that's a COLL that some people already use. Its in the wiki.

Just to clarify, this is OLL 23 with the headlights facing you.

EDIT: Dan beat me to it.

I know that alg, i use it for COLL/ZBLL.

 

[comface]

What's a COLL? Surely this is just an OLL...

 

[4Chan]

^Orients and permutes corners.

And OLL can also be a COLL, which is also a ZBLL.

The one that you have found is actually one of the normal algorithms, except you flip the cube over with the l2 at the beginning. (Also, it should be an l' at the end, not an l).

I think it's cool that you found your own algorithm! I like the normal one though I can't seem to do this without putting my hand in an awkward angle.

It should indeed be an l'... and I have edited my original post.

Also, it is nice to find one instead of always stealing other peoples'!

I think it's l' for the last step instead of l.

EDIT: Forte beat me to it

I have made over a hundred algs. ):
I would much prefer to "steal" other peoples.

It would save me so much time and effort. >.<

That means that you are very cool!
But I guess you would be sick of it by now considering the vast number of ZBLL cases.

The ones I make myself somehow stick much better in memory.

 

[comface]

I very much doubt I'll be forgetting this one!

I have to agree with this. I feel that when I create an alg for whatever puzzle it happens to be, I understand it much better. Rather than memorizing movements and notation, I just know what I'm doing, and am better able to adapt and remember the alg.

this one is fun: R2' U' R U R' D R U' R' U D R2

I don't use it for speedsolving it's just a commutator that's fun to execute.

I do a funky fingertrick variation on the "old" algorithm:

 

[amostay2004]

You can try this..I found it in another similar thread:

R U R' U' (R U' R' U2)x2 R U R'

It's more moves but very fingertrick friendly. I perform it at around the same speed as the standard alg..but you can boast about higher tps though
