The "Request an Alg" Thread

[DGCubes]

I really don't like this one, but maybe it's good for some people:

Hold two of the corners that need to swap on the front and the other two on the back.
z (F and B stay the same, U goes to R)
U2 R2 F (R U R' U')x3 F' R2 U2

I used this for a long time, but it's pretty bad...

Good OLS OH alg for this case?

Good OLS OH alg for this case?

Some {R,U} type stuffs: R U' R U2 R U2 R' U2 F R2 F' R' (R U' R U2 R U2 R' U2 x U R2 U' R')

Some {L,U} type stuffs: F' U' L2 U' L U L U F' L' F L F (F' U' L2 U' L U L U x U' L' U L U)

Better/quicker algorithms?



Anyone recommend any better algs for it?

 

[TDM]

Those are mostly good; I use a couple of others algs for some of the cases though:

3: y l' U R D' R' U' l B
4: y/y' R U2 R' U' R U R' U' R U' R'
5: y R U R D R' U' R D' R2
7: y2 R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R

4) F (R U R' U')3 F'

EDIT: oops do a y or y' first

Is there an existing list or webpage which compiles all the (known) SHORTEST PLL algorithms in existence, or something close to that? I've realized that in reality, I don't prefer any algorithm over the other unless it's shorter, and I feel that's what suits me best (choosing the shortest alg), and would love to see a list where I can find all of them together. Does anyone have a this set/info?

Badmephisto bowtie alg

I recently went on badmephistos website, and I checked out the 2 look OLL (I just felt like it). I tried out the bow tie alg, and it does not see, to work for me. I checked on cube whiz, Cubefreak, and badmephistos. What should I do?

It works. Try it again.

 

[sk8erman41]

are you doing the r and r' as double wide turns? alg works fine

Need fast PLL algs

Hello, I am sub 25 and I use Fridrich method.
I know almost all the pll - except of the na,nb and V.
Do u have a good site for FAST plls which prevents cube orientations?

 

[pdilla]

"prevents cube orientations"

I don't know what that means.

Skips OLL? Learn EO and WV.

Prevents the N and V permutations? Learn R-OLL to prevent C-type PLLs.

A good site to find algs in general is algdb.net

 

[Seanliu]

I think he means cube rotations.

 

[Bindedsa]

I think he means cube rotations.

That makes even less sense.

Impossible. I suggest using the wiki to find the algorithms you like the best. With enough practise, you can get every PLL under 2 seconds. With a ton of practise, you could get most under 1 second.

 

[stoic]

AUF instead of rotating for PLL.
Also, you could learn some alternate algs for different angles.

What alg do you guys use in PBL to switch the top back corners with each other and the bottom back corners with each other? I am using R2 U' B2 U2 R2 U' R2, btu I can't do it very fast. Or, do you have any tips on that alg?

I use that alg too. How do you fingertrick it? I do:
R2: right wrist
U': left index
B2: right index-middle doubleflick, just like U2
U2': left index-middle doubleflick
R2': right wrist
U': left index
R2: right wrist

I do that 2, i'm just slow (ugh). Im on a Wit two though and i don't really like it, so i'm trying others. Thanks!
