Official Blindfold Algorithm List

[Lucas Garron]

Is this useful?

Corner Orientation (1 2 4)
(L2 D' L U2 L' D L U2 y' L' B L F L' B' L)

and mirror alg on opposite side.

Come on! At least do Niklas + A: R'ULU'RU'L'U'x'RU'RD2R'URD2R2x
I prefer RUR'URU2R'U2 R2U'R'U'R2URURU2R

To answer your question: Cumbersome, includes a y rotation, and here lefthanded (bad for a majority of cubers, I think - and I don't even like that Headlights alg right-handed). But it is usable; keep trying stuff like this, and you may find some great compounds (that's how I found my V)!

 

[Stefan]

Long but easy and fast cycle UB-DR-UR:
(U R2' U' R2)*5

Maybe known already, but new to me.

 

[joey]

Long but easy and fast cycle UB-DR-UR:
(U R2' U' R2)*5

Maybe known already, but new to me.

Or: y R U R' U M' U2 M U R U' R' y'

 

[Johannes91]

Long but easy and fast cycle UB-DR-UR:
(U R2' U' R2)*5

Maybe known already, but new to me.

Or: y R U R' U M' U2 M U R U' R' y'

Or: [S D2 S', U]

 

[Stefan]

How fast can you do those?

 

[joey]

4.48 for your alg
2.08 for mine
I'm not too warmed up though.

 

[Stefan]

5.07 for mine? Are you kidding me? My grandma could beat that! I got 2.02 with mine with a not so good cube, average maybe 2.2-2.5.

 

[joey]

5.07 for mine? Are you kidding me? My grandma could beat that! I got 2.02 with mine with a not so good cube, average maybe 2.2-2.5.

I got a sub-5 now I dunno, maybe it jsut doesn't suit my style, or maybe I'm executing it horribly. What about my alg?

ps: 3.76 is my best for yours anow

 

[Stefan]

Doing mine, do you ever let go of the cube? You shouldn't. And notice the directions of those R turns.

Have tried your alg, but can't do it fast. That's why I emphasized mine's "easy". Yours isn't. I'd have to practice it quite a bit first to get fast with it, I believe.

I have a feeling I know how you execute it know. Can you time my alg please?

 

[Stefan]

Ok maybe I underestimated myself, got a 1.94 with yours now.

1.90
1.77

I do like your alg now, now that I understand how to perform it better. But during a BLD solve, I would probably still go with my alg, because it fits in with all my other algs better. (but I nay switch, we shall see)

ps: my best is 1.98 with mine so far

 

[Johannes91]

I did [M' U2 M, D] in 1.61, not sure how long the cube rotations would take. But that's what I'd use in a BLD solve.

Several 2.0x for Stefan's alg.

First try 1.57 for Joey's alg, without the y and y'.

 

[Lucas Garron]

Come on, you people!
U2' R' U' R U R U R U' R' U

Inverse is also nice: U'RUR'U'R'U'R'URU2'

(And yes, I would use these during an actual BLD solve.)

EDIT: Faster: U2 R' U' R U R U R U' R' U (Why did I forget to correct that?)

 

[joey]

Come on, you people!
U2' R' U' R U R U R U' R' U

Inverse is also nice: U'RUR'U'R'U'R'URU2'

(And yes, I would use these during an actual BLD solve.)

You are my saviour

1.98 first try
1.68
1.61
1.48

 

[Nghia]

I found this while playing with my cube [R2U2]x3 (13)(78)

 

[malcolm]

M2 U R2 U2 r2 M' U2 M' R2 U M2
(M' U)*2 M2 U (M' U)*2 M' U2 M' U

 

[Zava]

I don't know if somebody posted this one before.
4 edge orientation on M slice
(F'L'F) (U'M*4) (F'LF)
or, if you prefer UM' rather than U'M:
(BLB') (UM'*4) (BL'B')
and if you don't like the B-L setups
(F'L'F) (M'U*4) (F'LF)

 

[Lucas Garron]

I don't know if somebody posted this one before.
4 edge orientation on M slice

Well, there are lots of setups... My favorites:
U'RUR' M'U'M'U'M'U'M'U' RU'R'U
U'RU'R' U'M'U'M'U'M'U'rUR'U

 

[Karthik]

Since I prefer M'U, I would do,
ULU'L' M'UM'UM'UM'U LUL'U'
