The "Request an Alg" Thread

A lot of times, I finish OLL on 4x4 and after I do a PLL alg, I get this. Is there any way of doing that case without doing pll parity and then a u perm?

u' R U' R' u' r2 U2 r2 R2 U2 r2 u R U R' u imo, easily modified to work for any angle.

If you know full PLL (on a 3×3), try to recognise whether the PLL case you get (on a big cube) is a standard PLL case or a parity case before doing any alg. If it's a parity case, you do the PLL parity alg to swap two opposite dedges to get a standard PLL case, then do the standard PLL alg. (There are a handful of special parity PLL cases where this isn't the best way of solving them (e.g. directly solving adjacent dedge swap), but that's a somewhat more advanced technique that you shouldn't worry about now.)

Good RUL alg for this case?

or
U' R' F R F' R U R' (only F moves in a sledge)

Hey guys, do you have an algs for this layer case with 6 moves or less?
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

If you hold it with the two whites facing you and rotating the top right corner is R and top left corner is L, you can do this: R L' R L R

I have found a full VLS (Valk Last Slot) algorithm set (algdb.net) but I can’t find a full HLS (Hessler Last Slot) set. Does anyone have one?

How would you deal with this case without rotating? (blue face is front face)

I know I can pair the pieces with either y U L' U' L or y U2 L' U' L.
But technically since the edge is oriented I don't need to rotate to solve that case.
Is there a 3-4 mover I'm missing that would pair the pieces together?

Ohh thanks!

Hey guys,

So I have learned full beginner OLL on jperm.net and I used all of the algorithms there except for a few. I need help with an alg because I can't find a good one. The case for beginner OLL is that the entire side is solved except for 2 of the corners, which make headlights. I think it is called the Superman. The one I use is terrible, but it was the easiest. It is (R U R' U')3 (R' F R F')3 The ones I have been finding have D moves in them, so I am not the biggest fan of them. Could anybody tell me an alg for my OLL case, preferably a 2 gen or 3 gen without many awkward moves.

Thanks,

The D move ones are actually really nice so I recommend working on the finger tricks for them, but if you prefer a 2-gen one (which also acts as a COLL/ZBLL case), you can do: R' U' R U' R' U2 R2 U R' U R U2 R'

Thanks so much!! I will try to work on my D moves, but this a nice filler, except it is too long. I might actually prefer 3 gen if it is to short. You don't have to find another one, it is fine.

(I am way too picky )

I use an alg similar to this one but I start with sune into antisune from a y2 angle. I am faster on antisune than sune so that might explain it but both of these algs are great and it just depends what finger tricks you are more comfortable with.

I need an alg for M2 parity that will fix the M slice and swap UF and UR edge so that at the end of the solve parity will be J perm

anyone have a good alg for this from the back. as in you're inserting this into the back slot. i hate having to do a y2 to get the oll skip every time i get this case. there is the case to be made for beginning the insert and cancelling into the L case but it has a rotation too so i would greatly appreciate it if someone knows of a better alg here.

Which slot?

Which PBL case is this?

adj-adj, since you have an adjacent swap on both layers(adj swap is recognized by having a bar). Bring the bars to the front and do: R2 U' B2 U2' R2' U' R2

Thanks! I kept thinking it was PBL 5.
