The 4x4x4 example solve game

[QQW]

This is going to be hardcore......

Welcome to the 4x4 example solve game!

A member uses the scramble of the person above him/her on his 4x4, posts his broken down solve and posts another scramble for the person after him/her to use.

starting scramble: R' Fw U' Fw L' F Fw B2 U2 Uw' B' R' Uw L2 F2 L D' R' F Rw2 D2 Fw D' Fw' B' L Rw D2 Fw2 Uw B' D' Rw' D Fw R2 Uw2 D' F2 B2

sorry, I don't have the time to start...

I can't see this working... almost everyone's solutions would have some mistake in and it would be impossible to find and correct them

Maybe an alg.cubing.net link should be a requirement then?

Possibly a good idea if we can get everyone to actually do it... in the 3x3 example solve game people don't even post new scrambles.

Or you could just request that someone goes through the scramble and their solution a couple times so they know it will work, which I actually already do everytime for the 3x3 example solve game.

It's easy to miss a mistake, like doing an R instead of an R'. Alg.Cubing.net is much more reliable.

When you say r2 do you mean this...

 

[martinss]

Nope (sorry for this misunderstanding).
I mean Rw2. I mean what you did + R2.
Look at what alg.cubing.net for my first move on my last solve.
Isn't it the good notation? I thought it was the WCA one...

I was just wondering. I am not sure I would call one set of notation "good" and another "bad," it's just a matter of preference. My own preference is that single slice moves are lower case letters. That way, you can describe a single slice turn with one move instead of requiring two. I rarely make an outer block turn when I solve, so for me, Rw = Rr.

Well this is my first time trying this, and now that I understand the notation your r = my Rr and my r = your rR' I will give it a shot. By the way, I found that I had a hard time pausing "mid algorithm" to write down the moves. I can "do it fast" but I have a tough time transcribing the moves one at a time after I completed each step. Is anyone else in the same boat? This was compounded in my case by also having to "translate" from my notation shorthand to the one used at the website (not that I am complaining) so I ended up having to go through a few solves to get it right. Also, when I rotated the cube in hand, I rotated it back to the original orientation and re-re-transcribed the notes before I realized (duh!) that the web interface accepted rotations in-line and would use the new relative face designations to continue with the solve.

With that caveat, I present my first attempt on here...

WCA uses Rw, probably to avoid confusion like this.
