I don't use Na, I only need one N perm (or any other that does a diagonal corner swap) for Roux.

Oh well, I didn't see it that way.
Roux is kewl then, couse not that many n perms (I know that basically, you can use none)

F' B isn't one move in STM?

No, because it moves multiple slices at a time

I think it counts as 1 move in btm

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm dumb and meant DFR, haha

A little late I guess:

F2 (r R) U R' U R U2 R' L' U' L U' r'. It's basically a cyclic shift of the 2 sune alg, you can get a few other cases in the same way.

Looking for a good 1lLL algs for this. Thanks.

First alg doesn't seem to work, but I really like the last one. Thanks!

I thought I solved my 5x5x5 earlier today, and now I see I was colorblind! I missed the blue/green on the top and bottom. I don't ever recall having seen that on the 3x3x3, so I am stuck here:

Spoiler: Images

Is there a page of midge algs for the 5x5x5? My archaic layer method needs to be thrown out the window.

That's pretty neat but my crosses were only on 3 sides.

If you're saying that what you showed was the only unsolved pieces, than that's impossible. You cannot do just a 3-cycle of fixed (most central) center pieces (well, without taking the puzzle apart).

You can do a 2 2-cycle

3R 3U2 3R' 3U2

A 4-cycle

3L' U' 3L' U 3L' U 3L' U' 3L'.

Or a 2 3-cycle
3L 3U 3L' 3U'

But that's it.

EDIT:
Also of course a 3 2-cycle (just combining the 2 2-cycle and 4-cycle above):
3L' U' 3L' U 3L' U 3L' U' 3L' 3F 3D2 3F' 3D2

I was applying some algs from my recent experiment hunting for stage 1 center solves for 5x5x5 reduction's method of ignoring corners and edges. The first implementation was still finding algs with the cage preserved, so it wasn't working as expected. I looked at the screen and started on one series of moves, and didn't notice it scrolled to the next centers-problem I had assigned to it. So I started half of one alg and did the rest of another alg on a starting cube that had some symmetrical center distribution already.

I'll try to reconstruct it.

My first post is starting to get buried. Is there a center twisting alg for a megaminx super cube?

Any reasonably short alg that does this on a 4x4?

Sorry if this one has already been posted before, but it's really hard to search for because the keywords are so common.

Anyway I'm looking for a 2 look OLL alg, specifically to orient all 4 edges at once. I am currently using:
R U2 R' F' L' U2 L F R U2 R'

That is the alg given on the speedsolving wiki. Is there another way to do this that doesn't use 4 different faces?

Awesome, thanks!

I think you meant to put a f' at the end instead of F', but this one is great, thanks!

EDIT: just realized they're both basically the same alg, lol
