On a 4x4 what's the best way to swap 2 edges to form the last 2 edge pairs?

u' R U R' F R' F' R u

 

[Cube Is Life]

Thats exactly what i needed. Thanks!

 

[Cale S]

u' R U R' F R' F' R u

I use d R F' U R' F d', which is two moves shorter

Need algs for corners first method. Mostly edges!

... do you need any algs other than what you use to solve a 2x2?

 

[uberCuber]

I use d R F' U R' F d', which is two moves shorter

The shorter one doesn't work for Yau, it messes up the cross :s

Oh, I didn't even think of that because I use normal reduction :s
I should probably switch to Yau sometime soon, though.

Edit: u' R U' R' F' U2 F u doesn't mess up cross and is one move shorter

Same in QTM

Also doesn't feel as flowy to me

Could you write a short (not necessarily optimal) superflip algorithm for a super 3x3 sube?
I want to perform it on a mastermorphix.

EDIT: I've found D2 U' F2 R2 D' F2 L2 U2 L2 B2 D2 B F' R B2 F2 L' D' U' B' D2 R2 F' L R' (25f) with CubeExplorer, don't need any alg
EDIT 2: And I've found some pretty patterns:
D2 U' F2 R2 D' F2 L2 U2 L2 B2 D2 B F' R B2 F2 L' D' U' B' D2 R2 F' L R' (25f) (Flower)
U L2 F2 D F2 R F2 R' D' L' F2 U2 R U' L' U2 R' (17f) (Corners) (Perform it with a big corner at ULF)
B2 F2 D U L2 R2 D' U' L R D2 U2 L' R' (14f*) (Flip all centers)
B2 L2 R2 F2 U2 L2 B2 F2 R2 U2 (10f*) (Checkerboard)

Are there still any places selling the Aolong V1?

Is removing the balls from a lanlan skewb good/bad/up to preference?

Is removing the balls from a lanlan skewb good/bad/up to preference?

Well it seems to work well with dogs...

In all seriousness, I would recommend against it, it makes it harder to turn accurately, but if you already turn really accurately, you might be able to deal with it. I personally like the ball bearings in the lanlan, so I may be a little biased.

how long did you have to work on your memory to get a successful big cube (4^3 or 5^3) BLD solve?

IDK, I haven't done BLD yet but I do memory sports. I think you should good at 3bld I guess.

when you are capable of pulling a 3 cube multi, you should have more than enough memory to memorize a 4x4x4

Why are you replying when you have no knowledge of the topic, just to say that you don't know?!

Did Ben really get banned for making the "How to get sub-20 (for pjkcuber)" video?

Funniest ao5 ever.


EDIT his profile still exists so I'm assuming he isn't banned?

What does the notation "M" mean?

I've looked into a video and a page and they contradicted each other.

The M rotates the middle of the cube vertically, but do you rotate it upwards or slide it downwards?

Thank you.

Here's an example. In the top left corner, if I use "M" on it, initially having the green side as the front, what colour would be my new front side? White or yellow?

Thank you!
