Hi!! I recently got a triangle clock, and I wanted to learn a no flip method for it. the 2 I found online, one involved d moves, which on this clock sucks, and the other had very annoying math. So I made a very simple method, only 3 numbers memo, 3 simu moves and 3 normal moves. I am calling it "Micro's No Flip" or MNF I can't make a video about it so I will do my best to explain it here, but if some one does want to make a video, please give me credit and ask any questions you have of me so the video can be good
These are the moves I will be referencing for the math and execution.
This is the math:
So the math does look a little bad but its quite easy
M1: U - R
M2: -1((L - M1) - R)
setup: -1(L - M1 to 12)
so what does this mean?
the first move is explanatory I think, but the 2nd and 3rd moves looks weird
basically you take what ever your move was from L, subtract R(you want to remember where this is on the dial for the next number), then invert the move.
Ex: (5-2) - 4 = -1 = 1
same thing with the "setup" move. you rememberer where L - R was on the dial, then then see how many ticks that is from 12. Then you take that number and invert it
Ex: -2 becomes 2 etc. 6 becomes 6 because it half of 12, and 6 and -6 do the same thing.
when learning the math its slightly easier to do the math with 12 on the bottom, and do the math from the angle shown in the picture, where it look like an upside down triangle
execution:
do a y2 from the face you did the math on
then you want to start with your (L) and (B) pins down, (R) pin up.
step 1: for your first move you want to turn your UR dial so that U matches L, while doing your "setup" move on the UL dial
step 2: next you want to push the (R) pin down and push up (L), then using the UR dial match U and L(which should be the same) to R
step 3: push the (B) pin up so that (B) and (L) are up, then do M1 to the UR dial and match the U L and R "centers" to the UR dial.
step 4: push up the (R) pin and push down the (L) pin and do M2 to the UL dial, then match the "centers" to the UR dial
step 5 push up (L) and push down (B), match all the other pieces to the B dial.
step 6: push up all the pins and solve all the dial to 12
this should solve both faces without flipping over
if you have any questions or improvements to the method please to ask or tell, I am happy to improve the method : D
