The "Request an Alg" Thread

[TDM]

Maybe this can help sort algs.

That looks very useful, thanks. I'll be sure to use that in the future.

Does anyone know better algs for the category 3 cases here? Or is that it.
Also what are the best H and Z perms? (for Skewb)

Which OH V perm do you use? I have 2 that I can just not decide on..

I got this from Michal Pleskowicz:

(R U2 R') D R U' R U' R U R2 D R' U' R u2'

It works best if you can PUSH the whole U2 at the beginning.

Hi Cubers of the world

I've been struggling a long moment now to find out the solution to this "parity"

Can anyone help me with this ? I need to switch two edges on my 10 x 10 cube and i can't figure out the way to do that....

I've attached a photo with my problem as you can see two edges are well placed so no movement needed and two are not in the good place..

Well, I've never touched anything bigger than a 5x5, but it looks pretty standard. Solve the OCLL, Do any PLL parity and you should have a pll.

Thanks Bindedsa could you give me the algorithms please ?

Thanks Bindedsa could you give me the algorithms please ?

r2 U2 r2 Uw2 r2 Uw2 i my normal parity on 4x4, I'm not sure exactly how to translate it to 10x10, but I assume for lower letters using all layers on that side of the cube except the outer one should work and for the Xw moves just turn that entire side of the cube like a 2x2.

thanks for your help

actually i tried every PLL method and figured out that my cube was unsolvable.. had to take the pieces out and rearrange .. it was painful

10x10 dissamsembly takes so much time

scrambled again and solved yeah

It was unsolvable because you had parity! Use the parity alg that Bindedsa provided, don't disassemble your cube!

Good alg for this case?

You could set it up to an R perm by doing R'. Not sure if that's good.

Like R' U2 R' U2' R U2 R' F R U R' U' R' F' R2 U R?
You can set it up to an R perm with F too:
F R U R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R U R U2 R' U' F', which is also a nice alg.

 

[guysensei1]

Which 1LLL case requires the most moves optimally?
What does the alg look like?

 

[Costa]

Searching for an easier coll alternative

Do you guys have a list of olls algs to use in order to get an adjacent corner swap during pll?(avoiding ugly plls)
Another thing, how can i recognize that my normal oll is going to lead me to a diagonal corner swap? So how should i choose the alg? Based on what?

For now only coll(so edges oriented) algs are enough.


Thanks and sorry for stupid questions and poor english, im such a noob....

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Check out ollcp. That is basically it. You can learn what case gives you a diagonal swap then learn a different alg for that.

 

[ryanj92]

Do a diagonal swap PLL, then the inverse of your OLL. That's the case you need to remember. Then just try a different OLL alg that doesn't produce a diagonal swap PLL - the speedsolving wiki generally has more than one good alg for each case
It's probably more effort than just deliberately practising the diagonal swap PLL's, but obviously it's your choice!

pure bow tie?

 

[vcuber13]

The wiki has every ZBLL case

 

[Deleted member 36445]

oh sorry. thanks

Hey, I'm really bad at finding good ways to change angles of algs. My friend taught me this CMLL

F (R U R' U') (R U' R' U') (R U R' F'), but I need it done from the y2 angle where I recognize it from to save me the U2 AUF. Is there any good way to do this?
