Yes, hardware/automotive area.

Does anyone's walmart carry jigaloo? My old one didn't, and neither does my new one. :/
EDIT: ninja'd by TheMachanga

@ryanreese - I was just saying it made my crappy chinaminx a lot better.

its just that i checked home depot online and i found jig aloo and a different type of crc then i went to home depot and couldnt find either. the employees acted like they had never heard of either thing when i asked where i could find them (which is weird because usually they educated in the various products) so i bought something else that really sucked.

should i just buy jig aloo online? from jigaloo.com (free shipping)

You've asked this question 3 times in the past ~20 or less posts. Can you wait for someone who knows to answer?

I assume most people only check the last page. I'll stop asking now.

All F2L cases except those where the edge is placed but misoriented can be done 2gen.

Dang, according to the F2L page in the wiki, there are 42 F2L cases, and I can only thing of 6 that fit that description, so 6/7 are 2gen, thats pretty awesome. lol

 

[steph1389]

In the top description of the f2l wiki page im sure it says that 30/42 cases can be performed in 2-gen.

Cases; 9, 11, 16, 26, 31, 35, 36, 38, 41, 42 plus on for solve state but that take it to 11
(may have counted wrong, may have skipped something)

hope that helped.

[edit] have checked and there's 11 including a finished state so its more than 6

You misread

2-gen F2L, most pairs (30:42) have the edge sitting in the U-layer having two orientations, it shows R or F colour at the side. If it is the R colour you can solve the pair using only RU and if it is the F colour you can turn the cube (y') and sovle the pair to the back slot using only RU. The only pairs that needs both R and F turns are the six ones with the edge unoriented in the slot, if the edge is oriented in the slot both ways works.

Best site for OH OLL algs? Or at least the popular one? I have this site... Just wondering what other options are out there, or what you guys recommend.

 

[Rpotts]

Anthony's page


EDIT: **** he only has OH PLLs
nvm.

Can't you just use the wiki, theres tons of algs for each case, many of which are suitable for OH

 

[steph1389]

I may have misread sorry, is half 2 in the morning hehe, but i counted more than 6.

 

[Rpotts]

then you miscounted. It's k

 

[EricReese]

I already saw anthony's page. He has OH PLL's only.

R' U2 R F U' R' U' R U F'
For that COLL case that's what most sites list as the OH COLL to use, though I know a better one can exist

I've been messing with Crides alg translator page for ~ 10 minutes now, can anyone crack a good one? Obviously I'd prefer pure 2gen though. Rotations to make it 2gen=win.

Tried many combinations, all failures.

9 11 16 26 can be done 2 gen, and when you say finished state, do you mean solved?
Cuz I believe that would be 0gen. lol

R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R - mine for OH since i use 2LOLL
R U R' U R U2 R' U R U2 R' U' R U' R - 2gen double sune

 

[steph1389]

Don't they contain d moves? And true about the finished state. Don't know why i classed that as 2 gen.

Do you know anything about COLL...?

 

[HavoCentral]

A d is the same as a cube rotation plus a U U' or U2. all lower case letters are basically a cube rotations plus a move.

@ryan- sorry didnt read it fully, my bad. Didn't know anyone used COLL in OH, so I didn't catch that.

 

[steph1389]

Fair enough, was taking d literally as a stand alone move. So lets say 6 for the sake of agreeing

 

[Cyrus C.]

All but 6 can be done with just RU, no rotations or d moves.

EDIT: Well, half will need a rotation before, but that doesn't count. Also, R U y R is not 2 gen.

 

[Erzz]

In Cube Explorer, if you exclude pieces and tell it to solve it brings up a window where it seems to go through every solution. Is there a way to make it do this without excluding pieces?

 

[Rpotts]
