What is an alg for the annoying case?View attachment 8637

Isn’t that just a Y perm? F,R’,F, R2, U’, R’, U’, R, U, R’, F’, R, U, R’, U’, F’ Hope it helps!

No, it looks the same on the other side. Usually I have to do pairity and then a N perm

F R U' R' U' R U R' F' U (PLL Parity) U R U R' U' R' F R F'

F R U' R' U' R U R' F' U (PLL Parity) U R U R' U' R' F R F'

Thanks man! That is awesome!

Out of curiosity, what's the E-perm Mats performs his third solve (1:56)? It looks incredibly fast despite the lockup and it's rotationless.

I *think* it was this one:

R' U' R' D' R U' R' D R U R' D' R U R' D R2

Hi everybody,

Just refining my weak f2l cases... so f2l 32... what is the best thing to do if this is stuck in the back left slot and I need to insert it into the front left slot?

Thank y’ all

U2 R2 u R2' u' R2

U2 R2 u R2' u' R2

Well you’ve answered my next question, which was how to insert it into the front right slot.

Thanks!

But what about inserting it into the front left? Preferably without any B moves...

Do you mean like this?

y' R U2' R2' u' R' u R

 

[greentgoatgal]

Do you mean like this?

y' R U2' R2' u' R' u R

He probably means without a cube rotation.

 

[xyzzy]

He probably means without a cube rotation.

Alternative without a rotation: L U L' F R U2 R' F'

 

[Tom Joad]

Alternative without a rotation: L U L' F R U2 R' F'

Haha, so obvious really, yet I always freeze when this case is in front of me.

Thanks and thanks again to obelisk.

Can you please tell me a Usual N perm?

You shouldn't just do "the usual" anything. Google around, check out alg.db (linked above), and try out some of the algs. Pick the ones you like best and can fingertrick well.

Can anyone help me with solving a parity on a case (slice) cube? If anyone could write me the algorithm I would be very grateful.

 

[CarterK]

I'm not 100% on how it turns as i haven't seen one in a while, but think about what pieces are swapped. Think about what those pieces are. It isn't parity. I'll give you one hint. It's a PLL.

EDIT: can I see the sides? If it's what I think it is, 2 corners should be swapped along with the 2 pieces that are out of shape.

 

[kockica]

Here are the pictures of sides:

Are there any identical pieces elsewhere on the puzzle? Those orange E-slice edges look like they could swap places. If so, swap those (or a different pair of identical pieces), and you should have a solveable last layer.
