H-opp and opp-H are the shortest, at nine slices. (This isn't much shorter than the adjacent swap alg taught in most tutorials, by the way. Parity sucks and there's no easy way to get around that.)

Thanks!

Bil Wang solve 2 OLL

that's a one i havent seen yet

Looks like x' R U R' D R U' R U' R' U R' D' x.

Ohh thx!

Hello! I was wondering if someone could find the optimal ALG for this case on Cube Explorer. I can't do it myself since I use a mac. Thanks in advance

(BTW please ignore that orange thing on the bottom edge)

1. Use Wine.
2. U B U2 F D2 B R F L2 F2 R (11f*)

Is there an alg for f perm+U2 with the block on the right?

All of the algs at that angle suck unless you're ambidextrous. Just AUF then do your usual F perm alg.

Spoiler

(x R2') U2' R' D' R (U' D) R (U' D') R2 U2' R' D R U2'
Regrip right hand during the first U2' and the (U' D'); this leaves the right index on the bottom face, so you can AUF without regripping at the end of the alg.

Solve 1 OLL

Why does Bill hav so many uncommon OLLs?

Edit: After observing it, it might just be the normal OLL (R U R' U R U' y R U' R' F'), replaced with B moves instead of a y rotation. Confirmation?

Don't use Wine. Just download the .dmg here and run it

To solve my 2x2x2 cube I've been using beginners method. So I have not solved my 2x2x2 rubik's cube for few weeks and i remember all algorithms except one. I don't remember the last algorithm. I remember that you had to hold the cube like this: http://prntscr.com/gaxio1 and first three moves PROBABLY were R,U2. If any of u recognize this algorithm, please comment below. Thanks.

You just have a two corner adjacent swap, and I think that you mean R U2 R’ U’ R U2 L’ U R’ U’ L.

Or you could use a t-perm or j-perm, but I prefer that alg on 2x2.

Anyone have an alg for this case that swaps the two corners and solves oll?

Anyone know know a good alg for lse (in roux) that swaps the four centers? I use M E2 M' E2 but am looking for something faster

Any of these better?
E2 M' E2 M (4s*)
E2 M E2 M' (4s*)
M S2 M' S2 (4s*)
M E2 M' E2 (4s*)
M' S2 M S2 (4s*)
M' E2 M E2 (4s*)
S2 M' S2 M (4s*)
S2 M S2 M' (4s*)

Not move optimal, but I typically use an <M, U> 2-gen alg: (M' U2 M2 U2)2.

It's 8 STM but I personally have trouble fingertricking the E slice at speed but <M, U> is easy to spam without too much difficulty.

Thanks Oatch! This really helped!
