The "Request an Alg" Thread

[Lid]

The inverse is the common one I think, together with R U R2 U' R' F R U R U' F'

 

[TDM]

Also does anyone have a (r l U2) algorithm for the 4x4 OLL parity?

These are all almost Rw/Lw/U2 moves. All have a rotation, and the second/third have an F2/B2 in, but they still flow well. You don't even need to pause for the rotation in the double parity alg.

Standard alg: Rw U2 x Rw U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Lw U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw'
Double parity: Rw2 F2 Rw U2 Rw U2 x U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw2 U2 (the fact that it does double parity is irrelevant; it solves OLL parity, and that's what's important in solves)
Other double parity alg: Rw2 B2 Rw' U2 Rw' U2 x' U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw2 U2

This F2L case continues to annoy me. I try to avoid it and insert other pairs before this one, but I can't keep avoiding it. For the picture below but rotated y' so that the case is in the back right slot, how do you guys insert it? Any rotationless algs?

U2 R U R' F R' F' R

Or in a solve I might just go U' R U R' insert

 

[TDM]

U2 R U R' F R' F' R

Or in a solve I might just go U' R U R' insert

He asked for when it was in BR.

Not really an alg, but I'm asking for a decent way to fingertrick M.

I need an alg to rotate centercaps (for 3x3 shape mods) and a 4x4 parity alg.

I need an alg to rotate centercaps (for 3x3 shape mods) and a 4x4 parity alg.

180 degrees: (R U R' U)*5

90 degrees: M' U M E M' U' M E' (rotates 2 centers)

 

[Seanliu]

180 degrees: (R U R' U)*5

90 degrees: M' U M E M' U' M E' (rotates 2 centers)

Thanks man! *Hug*

U R' F R' F' R U' R

Wrong CO

U R' U' M U R U' R' U' r

This is nice, thanks. I hate this case in Roux solves because I have to rotate.

I need an alg to rotate centercaps (for 3x3 shape mods).

This is a great way to learn commutators. Put the centre on the right, or right/front if fixing two, then do M' S' M S. You'll see the two centres have been isolated from their own faces. Rotate the F then U faces to align the centres such that when you reverse the alg, S' M' S M, the centres become correct; then undo the F/U moves. It might take a few tries to grasp it, but it's a good trick to know.

 

[Lazy Einstein]

Trying to find a good alg for this ZBLL. Mine is meh.

 

[Bindedsa]

I might try generating some algs later, I also dislike my alg.

I was generating earlier and was only getting garbage. I will also try more thoroughly later as well.

EDIT:
Found this. L U2 L' R D' R2' U' R2 D B2 R'

Also nice. [F B'] R2 B R2' U' R2 U' R2' U R2 F' or as z S' R2 B R2' U' R2 U' R2' U R2 F'

 

[Egide]

what about this one R U2 R' L' U2 R U' R' U2 L U' R U' R'

Hmm that is really nice. Torn between that and F B' R2 B R2 U' R2 U' R2 U R2 F' atm

Inverse is an amazing ZBLL for that pi case R U R' U R U' R' U' R' F' R U2 R U2' R' F. Thanks Brest!

what about this one R U2 R' L' U2 R U' R' U2 L U' R U' R'

Amazing for OH, thanks.

 

[Bindedsa]

R U2 M' F' r2 F' r2 F U2 r', optimal.

 

[the super cuber]

can someone please tell me the optimal solution for this scramble? (can include slice moves) D L F D2 R' U2 L' B U' F2 D2 L2 B2 R L2 F2 U2 D2 L' U2
sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but i couldnt find it anywhere else. thanks!
