Does anyone have a PDF of set-up moves for the D2 method for blind corners?

 

[Hazel]

I have the algorithms at least!

L: x' R D2 R U2 R' D2 R U2 R2 x D2
T: D2 x' R2 U2 R' D2 R U2 R' D2 R' x

O: x' z' R' U2 R' D2 R U2 R' D2 R2 z x D2
G: D2 x' z' R2 D2 R U2 R' D2 R U2 R z x

W: x' R D' R U2 R' D R U2 R2 x D2
U: D2 x' R2 U2 R' D' R U2 R' D R' x

Parity (Edges first): [Shoot to C edge] [Solve corners] z2 [Nb Perm] U z2
Parity (Corners first): D2 [Solve edges] [Shoot to C edge] z2 [Nb Perm] U' z2

Hi, is there any algorithm to switch the 2 pieces I circled without ruining the cube’s order?

Thanks in advance!

Is there a Jb perm that doesn't change center orientation?
I'm solving a puzzle where centers can be arranged in 4 ways and is currently in the right position. I have a Jb perm as a PLL, but it changes center orientation. I just wanted to know if there's an alg for this or any alternate solutions. Thanks!

have you tried sune+niklas?

 

[Hazel]

B2 L U L' B2 R D' R D R2
this one might work, the optimal solution.
edit: U R U' L U2 R' U R U2 R' L' is better for solving

What's niklas?

B2 L U L' B2 R D' R D R2

edit: U R U' L U2 R' U R U2 R' L' is better for solving

Do both of them work?

And thanks for responding!

I haven't tested them myself, but they should work !

Do any of you know where I can find all the cllef algorithms without going through the CxLL pages?

Good N Perms? (from the "side" and "normal")


That's my 111th comment! Woohoo!
Not like it had to do with anything in particular...

I noticed that there is no wiki page for single flipped edge parity algorithms on 5x5. I just started solving 5x5 so I'd like to pick one that feels good to me. I've seen at least three different ones so far, one of which didn't have B moves but I forget where I saw that. I'm not interested in learning full last two edges right now but I can't find that parity alg.

Can we collect 5x5 one flipped edge parity algs in this thread?

 

[Wish Lin]

Great idea!

This is the algorithm I use for 5x5 edge parity. It doesn't use B moves, but it does have one x rotation. It's basically the same as the 4x4 OLL parity algorithm. Is it similar/identical to the one you were thinking of?

Rw U2 x Rw U2 Rw U2' Rw' U2 Lw U2 3Rw' U2' Rw U2 Rw' U2' Rw'

I use that one too. I believe it's called Lucas Parity.

If using RUF j perm: R U R' U [J Perm] U2 R U' R'
If using an RUL J perm: R U R' U [J perm] U' R U R'
Flip for the other one
still looking for a good CLLEF page for the algs

 

[OregonTrail]

Interesting, I found the alg that I was thinking of. It looks like a slight variation of that one.

Rw U2 x Rw U2 Rw U2 3Rw' U2 Lw U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw'

Ima guess no one can help me find an easy way to get cllef agls..

CLLEF is just the OLLCP for the Dot Cases. Every complete OLLCP list is a complete CLLEF list

While working on my Last Layer I am orienting and permuting the edges first, then the corners. For the corners I am using U R U’ L’ U R’ U’ L but it feels clunky and slow. I’m looking for a smoother, more intuitive algorithm alternative.

 

[Deleted member 36445]

you can use 4LLL, which is:

1. edge orientation
2. corner orientation
3. corner permutation
4. edge permutation

there are more algs than what you're currently using but you can use the first alg of each category several times
http://filipeteixeira.com.br/cubehelper/ (the page is in brazillian portuguese but it's self-explanatory)

for corner orientation this is the way to do it:
