The "Request an Alg" Thread

When the last F2L pair is misoriented, you end up having to do a cube rotation or insert the pair in a weird way. And while we are at inserting the pair in a weird way, we might a well orient the edges.

I'm sure someone has a lost somewhere.

Here's my full ZBLS list, of which VHF2L is a subset. Should find everything you need there and more

 

[deadalnix]

Ha you got the misoriented ones as well. Most alg lists are skipping these. Thanks.

I'm in need of a commutator that can swap two corners on just the last center of my puzzle in the picture, thanks.

I don't know supercube commutators for big cubes, but you could use U2, a bigBLD center method. In this case, you'd put that side in front with the two unsolved corners on the top right and bottom left and do the following (lowercase moves are just the inner slices, not both outer layers):

l' u2 l U2 l' u2 l
d' l d l' U2 l d' l' d
l' u2 l U2 l' u2 l
U2

I don't think that should affect anything else. It may be inefficient, but I think it's pretty intuitive if you understand how the U2 method works (although I'm sure someone else has a more efficient and easy-to-memorize alg).

When I execute this alg it fixes the one center but it does the same thing and swaps two of the corners on another one of the centers lol.

Hint: treat it as a pair of 2-cycles. One of the 2-cycles is the obvious one (the pair of x-centres you need to swap), and for the other 2-cycle, just choose any two identical x-centres. This can be solved with two 3-cycle commutators.

Single commutator alternative: [2R 2U 2R': [2L 2R 2D2 2L' 2R', U]]

TH ZBLL alg for this? R L' B2 U B2 U' B2 U' L U R'

RUD would be nice, but i couldn't find a good one

 

[Brest]

TH ZBLL alg for this? R L' B2 U B2 U' B2 U' L U R'

RUD would be nice, but i couldn't find a good one

I haven't gen'd this case, but I use Anti Sune cancelled with Jperm and inverse

R U2 R' U' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R'

R U R2' F' R U R U' R' F U R U2 R'

 

[FJT97]

Yeah, these ones might be the best out there.. Thanks!

I have been looking for a good pdf for OLLCP, I have only found one and it is really confusing, do you guys know of any printable pdfs, because I can only learn algs when i have them printed, for me learning something from the internet just doesn't work and makes my eyes hurt lol!

Yeah, I might do that, but there is so many pages I dont want to waste paper, I might just use the pics and algs from algdb.net and put them into a pdf. Thanks for the suggestion!

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

Just copy-paste algs and a picture for each one from algdb or elsewhere into a google doc, resize the images to make them fit better, maybe format them into a table.

OH alg for F2 L2 F2 U F' B D' B2 U2 B' D B2 U2 F ?

Those i found are very long

 

[ypermcuber]

I need an [R, U, F] Z permutation for feet.

 

[obelisk477]

I need an [R, U, F] Z permutation for feet.

Like, it has to have F moves? Or can it be R,U only

 

[AlphaSheep]

I need an [R, U, F] Z permutation for feet.

I use this one. It's nice because it's mainly quarter turns.
R' U' R2 U R U R' U' R U R U' R U' R'...

An alternative that's not <R,U,F>, but may work depending on your turning style is this:
R B' R' B F R' F B' R' B R F2

For the case above but rotated y2 so the insertion happens in the back. Does anyone have any rotationless algs to solve it? The algs can have M slices, I'm just looking for something that's rotationless.

thanks

 

[Duncan Bannon]

d R' U R U' R' U' R

M' U' R U R' U' R U2 r'

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

 

[Artic]

d R' U R U' R' U' R

M' U' R U R' U' R U2 r'

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

Those algs only work to insert in the front. As I mentioned, I need algs for that case but when the cube is rotated y2.
