The "Request an Alg" Thread

Isn’t this what you’re lookin for: r U R’ U’ r’ U2 R U R U’ R2’ U2 R
I guess CuberStache and SenorJuan have algs that work also but I don’t know why you’d use those when there’s this

Which WV cases are worth it?

 

[WoowyBaby]

Which WV cases are worth it?

Just the easy and short ones:

(do the inverse to see what cases these solve)
R U' R'
R U2 R'
R U R' U' R U' R'
L' U R U' R' L
R' F R U R U' R' F'

I'd just recommend these, many WV cases are too long to be worth it.
(If you know full ZBLL, then don't use any WV at all!)

What is the best algs for all 4 G-perms. I currently use the ones which utilize u and u' moves and can't find a good finger trick for them.

What is the best algs for all 4 G-perms. I currently use the ones which utilize u and u' moves and can't find a good finger trick for them.

The wide move algs are definitely fading, here are the best imo:

Ga: R2 U R' U R' U' R U' R2 D U' R' U R D'
Gb: R' U' R U D' R2 U R' U R U' R U' R2 D
Gc: R2 U' R U' R U R' U R2 D' U R U' R' D
Gd: R U R' U' D R2 U' R U' R' U R' U R2 D'

All are held with the headlights on the left, which makes for easy recognition. Check out J Perm's video on G-Perms, as well as Brody's. They show the best fingertricks; some of the algs seem really bad without proper fingertricks. You also may have to watch both to find fingertricks for all 4 algs, iirc one of them uses a different alg for one of the cases

D' R2 D M2 D' R2 D

I don't know if I used it wrong but the alg didn't work for me, I switched back to D' L2 D M2 D' L2 D.

Is there a short 2x2 alg like this one to swap UFR <--> DBL while keeping all other corners in place?
L U L' B2 L B' L U L2 B2

but with (mostly) R U and F instead of L U and B?

thanks,

anything for this + its mirror? the algs on kirjava's website are kinda bad

 

[cubesolver]

Could anyone generate the algs for building the last f2l pair of tripod? Doesn't need to include mirrors because I can create them as I go. thanks.

Do it intuitively

Do it intuitively

Too slow, sometimes not optimal. The intuitive method, the Frifri method, needs multiple looks. Algorithms would be better, at least for me.

If optimal takes multiple looks, then optimal algs probably won't have good recognition.

 

[cubesolver]

Optimal doesn't take multiple looks. The Frifri method is not always optimal. The Frifri method is intuitive. If someone can generate algs for it, then it will take only 1 look. Recognition is almost the same as a F2L case.

Can't you just mirror the alg to make it RUB and then do an x? Mirror the alg to be RUB and then do an x and make the R moves F and the B moves R?

Why yes, I can

L U L' B2 L B' L U L2 B2
R’ U’ R B2 R’ B R’ U’ R2 B2
F’ U’ F R2 F’ R F’ U’ F2 R2

(duh)

Thanks!

Some attempts:

2R' U' 2L' D2 2L U 2-3r U' 2R' D2 2R U 2L Variant of Kirjava's alg.
R U R' U' R r2 F2 r2 U' r2 F2 r2 U' R' U R U' R' Set up to "H perm".

Best alg for Adj swap on 2x2?
