Shooting to LU with Pochmann's method

[Joël]

R2 B' R' B R' F' U' F R U R' U'

Or, if you like:

(x' R2 U' R' U x) R' F' U' F (R U R' U')

Stefan showed me he found an alg that does exactly this... I later found the same alg, using Acube. (well.. not sure if the alg is the same.. but I like it).

I am a struggling pochmann blder and im looking for any advantage i can get. Can you give me examples when this would help? Thanks

Andrew, we need to talk, very soon, contact me ASAP Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you...

Thats a great alg Joel! I think I might start using that myself. That case gets really annoying for me, so that will be a really handy alg.

To clear things up...that alg is the reason I DNFed 3 times... <_<

That just says more about you than about the actual alg...

Hi Joel, yeah that's basically the same alg. Though I prefer to write/execute it like this:

(l2 F' l' U l') (F' U') (F R U R' U')

For the first parenthesis my right hand stays at standard grip. My record for four executions is 7.84 seconds, much faster than T-perm with three setup moves. You also get these variations "for free" to solve other targets without setup moves:

(l F' l' U l') (F' U') (F R U R' U' l)
(F' l' U l') (F' U') (F R U R' U' l2)
(l' F' l' U l') (F' U') (F R U R' U' l')

Also try:
(R U R' U' l' U z') (U' R' U R r' d) (R' U' R)
How do you like this one? Try to get rid of breaks between the parentheses. While the right hand does the U-turn and rotates the cube at the same time (the U "ends as L") the left hand lets go of the cube, catching it right in time to do the U' during which the right hand regrips. And do the d more with your right hand, almost like (U y'). Record 9.01 seconds for four executions.
