Hello,
I'd like to get a large list of Blindfold algorithms. Please post all the ones you know here, for simple tricks, to the more difficult stuff. Please post the alg. and what it will do (or post a diagram [preferred]). Diagrams will be added overtime as they are created. I will edit this post as we go. If you are going to add more algs after you have posted once, please create a new reply so I know that you added more. Thanks
