FII, AV, A2

what algorithms should i know to solve a 2x2 BLD as shown in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCo-htZ_c0M&feature=channel

i know all the ortega method algorithms

Just the Y perm.

Just the Y perm.

that swithes two adjacent corners right? and what about a clockwise 3 corner cycle and anti-clockwise 3 corner cycle?

 

[Dene]

Y perm swaps two opposite corners. You probably don't want to use 3 cycles, but the A perms will do that. I suggest T or J perms for adjacent swaps.

thanks can you give the the y perm notation? edit: nevermind got it!

Why is HKNowStore's entire 3x3x3 section missing?

 

[sa11297]

what happened to www.blueknightcubing.com ?

 

[StachuK1992]

He quit cubing after some people on YouTube did things that people on YouTube tend to do.

 

[sa11297]

so he took the site down? and what do youtubers tend to do exactly

 

[HavoCentral]

I assume it is the same reason Lightakes cubing section is down, they fear the mighty hammer of Verdes.

Cube section ain't down anymore.

What is the shortest/fastest alg to move an edge LF edge to any of the R edges on a pyraminx

I use Oka and I do the second edge 3 move thing, but sometimes after I keyhole the centers, the edge I need is in the wrong place.
So I either need an alg to move it into the right layer, or two algs to switch it with the edge in its place. (one for oriented the other for the other orientation)
I hope this makes sense.

what are some good algs for F-perm, N(a) and N(b)?

Yes, it's a good lube. Happy New Years to you too.

what are some good algs for F-perm, N(a) and N(b)?

I use 2 different Fs(the V and the T), and I dont worry about N since they are extremely rare for me, so I haven't looked for better ones.

F(V) - (R' U2 R') d' (R' F' R2 U') (R' U') (R' F R) d' L
F(T) - (R' U' F') (R U R' U' R' F R2) (U' R' U' R) (U R' U R)

For Ns look in the PLL wiki.

Ah ha! you just requested my two favourite algs
for F - I use the F(T) one that Havo mentioned - it flows soooo nicely.

For the N's you'll want to use these:

N(b): z D' R U' R2' D R' U D' R U' R2' D R' U R' (I tweaked the R2 direction from how it normally appears in the database to make it flow nicer)

N(a): eh, hmmm, my alg doesn't seem to be in the database That's weird. Ok, I use z U R' D R2 U' R D' U R' D R2 U' R D' R which is just the same as above but with all the U and D's swapped. But this one isn't as nice as N(b), I notice there are other interesting ones in the wiki I may try some of those out.

Is metronome practice a good way to improve F2L?
