Which PBL case is this?

This is the bar on the top and bar on the bottom.
You can also do this alg: R2 U' R2 U2 F2 U' R2 (Keep both the bars on the front)

Thanks! I kept thinking it was PBL 5.

PBL cases can be recognized by knowing if it's an adj swap or a diag swap on each layer. Diag swaps have a bar, adj swaps don't. Then you just have to recognize which combination you have(i.e, adj adj like you did)

Hey guys,

So I have learned full beginner OLL on jperm.net and I used all of the algorithms there except for a few. I need help with an alg because I can't find a good one. The case for beginner OLL is that the entire side is solved except for 2 of the corners, which make headlights. I think it is called the Superman. The one I use is terrible, but it was the easiest. It is (R U R' U')3 (R' F R F')3 The ones I have been finding have D moves in them, so I am not the biggest fan of them. Could anybody tell me an alg for my OLL case, preferably a 2 gen or 3 gen without many awkward moves.

Thanks,
Spacey10

Just get better at D moves. They're extremely nice and fast, as well as the alg being short. There are alternatives, but they simply aren't as fast.

View attachment 12198 anyone have a good alg for this from the back. as in you're inserting this into the back slot. i hate having to do a y2 to get the oll skip every time i get this case. there is the case to be made for beginning the insert and cancelling into the L case but it has a rotation too so i would greatly appreciate it if someone knows of a better alg here.

(U2) R U' L U R' U L'

M2 Parity alg if I execute corners first?

M2 Parity alg if I execute corners first?

Why?

 

[ProStar]

Why?

Because I execute Corners first, and when doing M2/OP it's a different alg from EF parity

 

[NevEr_QeyX]

Because I execute Corners first, and when doing M2/OP it's a different alg from EF parity

Wait I'm confused, do you do parity at the end after corners and edges, at the beginning before corners and edges, or in the middle before edges and after corners.

I exec corners, do parity, exec edges (actually I haven't switched yet, but that's what I'm gonna do)

What do you do currently?

What do you do currently?

OP/OP

 

[NevEr_QeyX]

OP/OP

Right, OK what I do for M2/OP is D' L2 D M2 D' L2 D and that swaps UB and UL edges while correcting the M layer. Then at the end you do Ra
perm (the RUD one0 with a U' at the end for AUF and bada bing bada boom parity.

Do CEEC, but if you're doing ECCE swap UBL and RDF during memo.

I keep getting a LL case where 2 edge pieces are flipped in their spot. As if someone took the solved cube and twisted the RY and GY edge pieces and twisted them around. Os there an alg so solve this? This is on a 3x3 and it hasn't even been taken apart before.

 

[Micah Morrison]

(R U R' U') M' (U R U' r') if opposite or (r U R' U') M (U R U' R') if adjacent edges are flipped

 

[Cuberstache]

R' F R U' M' U2 M U' S R' F' R S' solves it directly. You can also use whatever method you'd normally use to solve the cube. Like F U R U' R' F' or f R U R' U' f' to orient edges, then continue.

 

[SenorJuan]

Easy to remember, and fun to execute:
y2 ( F M' )4 U ( F M' )4 U'

Replace the U with U2 if the flipped edges are opposite each other.

 

[sumtingwong]

M' U M' U M' U M' U2 M' U M' U M' U M'

 

[maticuber]

(M' U) (M'U) (M' U2) (M U) (M U) (M U2) flips UF and UB

 

[PetrusQuber]

You should know how to solve this yourself... Standard beginner’s EO alg, then normal LL.
But if you want to just flip those edges for some reason, everyone else has given you some good algs.

 

[Username: Username:]

keep RY edge in front of you and do this alg: (M' U' M U' M' U' M U' M' U' M)
You should refer to OLL algsheets or ask someone in a request an alg thread instead of making a new thread.
this alg is sooooo simple but you should learn the standard one which is (r U R' U' M U R U' R')
