The "Request an Alg" Thread

10htm is optimal.

Cubex only found 3 algs:
L U' R U R' L' U2 R U' R (10f*)
L U' L' U2 R L U' L' U' R (10f*)
U' F U' F' U' R U' F U' F' R (11f)

apologies, the last move of the scramble was meant to be an R'.

Still, none of your solutions actually solve the F2L on the scramble, so i'm not sure what went wrong on your end.

Does anyone have all of the 1LLL cases for the OLL case that can be solved with (F (R U R' U')2 F')?

I don't, but I do have algs for all have the case that can be solved RrU

That's great! Thank you.

The only one that I know is
R U2 R' U' R U R' U2 R' F R F'

 

[mjm]

The only one that I know is
R U2 R' U' R U R' U2 R' F R F'

That's the one that I found that made me want to learn them.

 

[obelisk477]

i need all optimal algorithms which solve the F2L and CP and preserve EO on this scramble:

L U' L' U2 L R U' L' U' R

(don't count AUFs towards movecount)

U' R2 B' R' U' R' U R B R' (10f*) (9 not counting the U')
R U R' U2 R L U' R' U L' (10f*)
R U L U R' L' U2 L U L' (10f*)

 

[TDM]

The only one that I know is
R U2 R' U' R U R' U2 R' F R F'

Awesome, I'll be learning that for OLLCP.

An alg for the other OLLCP like that, which you could probably learn as a 1lLL if you wanted:
l U R' D R U' R U' R2' D' R U l'
It's a weird alg, but it's fast, and the 1lLL is easy to recognise too (UFL=UF, UFR=UR).

 

[Petro Leum]

U' R2 B' R' U' R' U R B R' (10f*) (9 not counting the U')
R U R' U2 R L U' R' U L' (10f*)
R U L U R' L' U2 L U L' (10f*)

disregard corner orientation.

for example, (U2) R' F R U R U' R' F' works and has only 8 moves - any similar algs?

That OLL is definitely worth learning all 6 OLLCPs

I use:
F R U R' U' R U R' U' F'
F' r' F r F R U R' U' R U' R'
R U2 R' U' R U R' U2 R' F R F'
(U) F R' F' r U2 R U' R' U R U2 r'
(U) F R U' R' U' R U2 R' U' R U R' U' F'
F R U R' U' R2 D R' U R D' R2 U' F'

Look up CPLS. I'm pretty sure that someone (though I can't remember who unfortunately) has a list of those algs.

Might be linked to a ZZ-porky variant.

Oh, they're all quite easy algs. Thanks!

i know, there are plenty of those. i don't really trust algorithm lists though, they're rarely optimal.

i just don't know how to find these myself, as i cant tell cubeexplorer to disregard corner orientation for example :/

Ahhhh, got it, found it now. Only one optimal:

U' F' U' F R B U' B' R' (9f*)

And all the 10's:
U R B U' B' U2 B U' B' R' (10f)
U L' F2 L' U' L2 U L' F2 L (10f)
U L' B2 R' D' R2 D R' B2 L (10f)
U2 R' F R U R U' R' F' U' (10f)
U' R2 B' R' U' R' U R B R' (10f)
R U R' U2 R L U' R' U L' (10f)
R U L U R' L' U2 L U L' (10f)
R U2 R' B U' F' U B' U' F (10f)
R U2 R' B' U F U' B U F' (10f)
R U' R' B' R U' R' U B U2 (10f)
F' R B R' F R B' U2 R' U' (10f)
L F2 R' U F2 U' F2 L' U' R (10f)
L F2 R' U' F2 U F2 R U L' (10f)

This was with cube explorer btw, PM me if you need to know how to do it

EDIT: Oops, thats with AUF. But you can sift through that.

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

I prefer R' U' R U' R' U R U' R' U R' F R F' U R, for the diag case.

 

[TMarshall]

I prefer R' U' R U' R' U R U' R' U R' F R F' U R, for the diag case.

R' U' F' U F R2 U2 R' U' R U' R'?
Just a 6 move oll cancelled into antisune, I like this one.

Could someone help me generate all the sarah's advanced optimal algorithms in FCN rather then rubik's skewb? For some reason, I find FCN more finger tricky then rubik's skewb, and I can't seem to find any FCN optimal algs. If not, is there a good program for me to use?

When you say Sarah's advanced, do you mean her method as described on her site (which has all the combination of algs on it) or alg sets like NS and KK, which are optimal and don't consist of sledges or hedges.
I am not aware of any FCN algs sheets for the latter.
I think that you should keep going with rubikskewb notation, as you will find that it is SOOO much better in the long run and algs aren't as random as you'd expect.
Eg: one of the pure pi+z perms algs is
(z) to help with fingertricks
(r' R' r R) just an inverse corner twist
(z) to help with fingertricks
(R r' R') just a standard corner insert
(z') again, to help with fingertricks
(r' R r) just a standard corner insert again

Whereas, the same alg transferred into FCN would be
B' L' U L R L' B' R' U B
Which is definitely slower IMO.

So keep going with rubikskewb, and it will eventually click and it will be so much easier than FCN.

Any good square 1 parity algs that don't necessarily preserve top layer corners but preserve the whole bottom layer?

 

[Lid]

Any good square 1 parity algs that don't necessarily preserve top layer corners but preserve the whole bottom layer?

I have to say no on this, maybe this CPP will do? It "only" does op in the D layer: / (3,3) / (1,0) / (-2,4) / (2,-4) / (5,0) / (-3,-3) /

, or you can have a look at my Sq-1 PLL page, but there is nothing shorter than 10 twists.
