The Most Popular Algs (alg.garron.us stats)

[Lucas Garron]

I'm going through my logs to figure out what features are most important. I figured I'd share some things as I come across them. Feel free to suggest more.

For a sense of scale: there are over 1.7 million pageloads of alg.garron.us that I'm searching through.

I'll start with most common algs. Here are the top 10:

18661: U' F R U R' U' F'
17111: U (R U' R')
7957: R U R' U R U2 R'
5716: M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2
5669: R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R
5068: R U R' U R U' R' U R U2 R'
4894: y' U' (R' U R)
4732: M2' U M2' U2 M2' U M2'
4456: r U R' U' L' U R U' x'
4012: (U' R U R') U2 (R U' R')

Here's everything with over 1000 views:

[ThomasJE]

Has anyone noticed these?

2749: R
2630: U
1118: D
1105: L

I'm curious; what are the views for B and F?

 

[mark49152]

Were the parentheses included in the executed algs? I'm wondering if many of these executions were from clicks on links, in which case the log reflects the popularity of those links more than that of the algs.

 

[pjk]

Cool. Do you have any source info? Why are some much more popular? Where is it coming from?

 

[Kirjava]

why U' F R U R' U' F' and not just F R U R' U' F'

 

[mark49152]

why U' F R U R' U' F' and not just F R U R' U' F'

Probably there is a "see on alg.garron" link somewhere that everyone's clicking.

 

[googlebleh]

I'm surprised there weren't more views for M or M'

Interesting stats though. Cool.

 

[bundat]

Do you store referrer data?
Might be interesting to see where these are coming from, at least, the highest contributor to the stat.
e.g.

18661: U' F R U R' U' F' -12434 views from http://somewhere.randomsite.com/topic-1234
17111: U (R U' R') - 12110 views from http://randomrubiktutorial.com/LOLLL

etc.

EDIT: oh, pjk already mentioned this lol

This is a really cool idea! This is (obviously) a much smaller (and less interesting) dataset, but here's a similar table for all the solves in RCDB right now (removing any rotations at the beginning):

26 - U'
24 - U R U' R'
18 - R
17 - R U' R'
14 - U' R U' R'
12 - U
11 - U2' R' U R
11 - U2
11 - R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F'
11 - R U R'

The first 50:

Bonus points to whoever knows why the line I bolded is there/what it's from nobody I've asked has guessed it yet.

All the results

its andrew riccis cross from 6.15 nar single, how many points do i get

 

[TDM]

Don't know why, but where it's from can be found easily. It's in three solves in RCDB; the 6.15 isn't on there.

are you sure? on that link you provided its the second link down, a reconstruction in the description of the video, also

brests reconstruction

and rcdb of the 6.15, its here too.

what was that again about the 6.15 not being on there

 

[TDM]

what was that again about the 6.15 not being on there

Sorry, I didn't see it. I knew it was in Andrew Ricci's 6.15, but I couldn't find it by going to the main page and doing Ctrl+F, 6.15. I didn't see it had multiple pages.
