Pattern thread

[RCTACameron]

So I found this really cool pattern I accidentally made when I was solving a 4-sided dot in the middle. It's a dot in the middle, a cross and the checkerboard pattern, all in reverse color scheme!

I simply do not know what is the algorithm.

I just tried figuring it out and got M2 U2 S2 R2 E2 R2 D2. (If you don't know, an M move is turning the middle layer between the L and R layers, an S move is between the F and B layers and an E move is between the U and D layers.)

My favorite one is the following. It can be easily done in three steps:

1) Flip FU and DB edges:
B2 - (M' U)3 M' U2 (M' U)3 M' - B2

2) Do the H pattern:
M2 U2 M2 U2

3) And now the magic:
R E2 L'

I don't see what's special about the third one?

You're suposed to do all of them, in order. You'll get some kind of a snake pattern.

This is one single pattern broken into three steps (not three individual patterns), so it's easier to memorize how to get it. Here it is.

Cool Pattern on 7x7 help

I saw a picture of a 7x7 with a cube in a checkerboard. It is a pattern, and i can find NOWHERE that tells me how to do it. It was a normal checkerboard, opposite colors alternating, but then it had a 3x3 or 4x4 cube in a cube pattern, but JUST THE SOLID BLOCK, like a 3x 3 in the checkerboarded 7x7. PLEASE POST BOTH A VIDEO AND THE ALGORITHM if you know how. I decided to make my own system when i started cubing, and i cant break the habit, so my r and everything is messed up

I suggest you just solve the 7x7 in the way that the pattern looks. Also, I recommend you learn real notation, every other cuber in the world "broke the habit," you can do it too.

Are you talking about something like this? http://www.randelshofer.ch/rubik/vcube7/J405.01.html

That is very cool, but I don't understand the notation...

Thanks

I am in the process of putting together a list of cool 4x4x4 positions and their (currently known) shortest solves.

I invite everyone to submit their own here in this thread. I will include them on a web page I am building.

Not looking for: impossibly long scrambles were you set a world record solve

Looking for: Stuff like this:

...and...

...and...

..with the scramble or solve for the associated position.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah I've already seen that page. I am looking for personal preferences from the readers on here. Plus some of those moves are from a notation system that is foreign to me. It is where I got the "snake" pattern from though

I have to admit Randelshofers website is great, and tthis one is awesome: http://www.randelshofer.ch/rubik/professor/N800.01.html

Patterns thread

I decided to post a patterns thread, as creating new patterns is something I find enjoyable. I'm going to make a youtube video on some patterns I have come up with, such as full pyraminx checkerboard and a cool 4x4 pattern (my profile pic), as well as some lesser known patterns. I'd like to see other peoples' patterns, too!

3) And now the magic:
R E2 L'

Now that is magic!
