The "Request an Alg" Thread

I don't have one so I'm not sure, but on a 3x3 gear cube you just do something like R*4 or R*6 to sort out any misalignments like that.

I already know how to solve the normal 3x3 cubic gear cube.

Do you know how centers comms work?

I have used two different commuters on the 6x6 but need to learn another to finish the centers.

Once you understand the concept of commutators, you can create your own to solve any other piece. I recommend watching this video

Two more PLL algs

Someone please help me, I have a comp on saturday and I'm trying to learn full PLL and I have Gc and Gd left to learn, I think I'm stressing too much and I just can't memorize them. Can someone give me tips? I've watched crazybadcuber's tutorial and I've looked here http://www.cubewhiz.com/pll.php and neither of them help me. Someone please reply!
Thanks!

Gc: [R2 F2 R2: R perm]. This cancels to R2 F2 R U2 R U2 R' F R U R' U' R' F R2. You should have no problem learning this.
Gd: invert Gc: R2 F' R U R U' R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F2 R2. This is a completely new alg, and so you're much less likely to confuse it with another alg (like either of the other G perms) by mistake.

4 days is easily enough time to learn two algs, just remember to practise them. Good luck at the comp!

 

[IAmEpic2004]

Thank you SOOOO much!!!!! P.S. Do you like TheDiamondMinecart or are those just random letters?

I never learned G perms.

G perms = Aperm & Uperm (~17 moves max).

A perm: R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2
U perm: L2 U' S U2 S' U' L2
(or mirrors, whatever you need.)

Those are a lot better than my algs, I'm probably going to learn those.

A perm: R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2
U perm: L2 U' S U2 S' U' L2
(or mirrors, whatever you need.)

a) That U perm is painful to look at, consider trying to find something 2-gen.
b) The G perm algs are actually pretty good, and given that you should be encountering them roughly 2/9 solves without any sort of CP control, I'd recommend learning them.

Please just some good G Perms

 

[stoic]

The standard G-perms R2' u R' U R' U' R u' R2 (y') R' U R etc. aren't that bad to learn.
I didn't formally learn them all, because once I'd learned a couple I could predict the flow of the others.
Once you do that, it's also quite intuitive to do them lefty from the opposite angle.

G(b)
G(c)

Sorry I meant L2 U S U2 S' U L2
Super easy 7 moves to do. Left hand case explained:


right hand grips thumb on FR normally
left hand grips thumb on UL, and starts the L2
U with right index
left thumb squeeze in the slice, U2 and squeeze the slice again
U with right index
L2 with left.


mirror is obviously R2 U' S' U2 S U' R2

shortest stm alg for interchanging UFL with DFR and UBL with DBR?

 

[TDM]

shortest stm alg for interchanging UFL with DFR and UBL with DBR?

r2 U' M2 U2 M2 U' M2 U2 R2 is quite short (R2 setup to X-perm), but I don't know if it's the shortest alg.

I need an alg or algs to help me solve the last 2 edge gears on my gear pyraminx. http://imgur.com/a/Ym6D3

[EvanCahill]

I need one more center commuter algorithm to solve the cube, but have been unable to come up with an algorithm. The pieces I need to commute are the inside edge pieces of the center 3x3 of the cube. I was unable to upload a picture because it's too large too post. Thanks.

Seriously, go learn about commutators. Watch some videos or something. This is getting ridiculous.

 

[EvanCahill]

I have watched videos and have figured out how to commute every other center pieces than these ones. I already used this algorithm and it doesn't move the edge pieces in the 3x3 center of the 7x7 cube. Picture included.
