Rowe Variation: My new last slot/OLL experiment

[sa11297]

There are 27 WV cases and 27*8 = 216 RLS cases in total.

yeah so a modified R OLL for just WV should not be too bad. It is just that WV is not used that often, so the benefit would not be that much.

But how many CP patterns are there for the 5 remaining corners with WV? Can you easily distinguish between them using two adjacent faces like in CxLL?

 

[Foster Conklin]

could this also be used to force a oll case where all edges are oriented? Instead of learning all 216, would learning one of the algorithms from each subsection to orient last layer edges?

I do not know. I was basically asking you guys. I do not even know regular R Oll. It was just a thought that I had. I wonder what jskyler91 thinks.

As an aside, Winter Variation was the name of the original diagram/algorithm document I submitted to the speedsolving club on yahoo groups. I have absolutely no idea where the term F2LL came from.

Indeed, I prefer Winter Variation over F2LL. I read somewhere what it stands for but I don't know that it was supported by any evidence and I think it was just a guess.

I think I'm renaming RLS to Rowe variation. RV for short. RLS stands for restless leg syndrome

Haha, good idea.

That made me chuckle.

wow what a crappy solve

 

[Kirjava]

I like that you used OLS - it's like using EOLS instead of ZBLS.

new pb with an RV: 6.20
case was U' F' U' F U' R U' R' and U perm
first non lucky sub7 with one

Very cool.

You should however put winter variation algs for BR on your site.

Are you kidding me?
A moment please...

should i make videos on the algs?

If you want divulge more this system/method, would be nice... and also have few tutorials about Winter Variation - without decent recognition and all algs.

 

[ottozing]

Are you kidding me?

well to be fair he did say that he was going to learn winter variation from 2 angles. plus i find text based tutorials better than video tutorials.

 

[Bob]

I tested Rowe on a few of these today between bowling frames. He still knows them.

 

[zzomtceo]

Would this be faster than MGLS?
