The "Request an Alg" Thread

Yeah but it's worse

I know; I was just throwing an alternative out there

Does someone have a better algorithm for ELL case (BF-Flip UB) on Algdb. So far I have found these.
(U' r' U' r) (U2) (R2 U2 R2 U R2 U R2) (r' U r)
(M' U' M') (U2 M U2 M' U2) (M' U' M' U' M') (U2 M' U') (M2)

Does anybody have spreadsheets with the STANDARD oll and pll algs?

 

[carcass]

There aren't really 'standard algs', like there are 2 good a perms, 2 good g perms, 3 good h perms, 2 good r perms, 3 good u perms, 9 or so good v perms, and 2 good Y perms, and those are just the ones I know off the top of my head.

There are no "standard" OLL and PLL algs. For many cases, there is the alg that is most popular, but most of the cases don't have a "standard" alg that is objectively better than the others. I'd recommend consulting speedcubedb.com for the most popular algs so you can choose your favorites.

Alternatively, you can check out this sheet.

I don't know, a few cases like Jb perm have algs that I would consider standard.

y2 algs for Y-Perm & V-Perm?
Guys, not counting J-Perm's y2 V-Perms I don't see any y2 algs for those 2 algs. I'm ambidextrous and OreKenStra told me it's fine to use it for PLLs as long as you can do the alg faster than U2/U2' with your non dominant hand which I can being any alg I learn I always start and learn with both hands. Where would be the best place to find those type of algs?

Thanks in advance.

Y Perm: f U' f' L U L U' L2' U' L U L F' L' F
V perm: L' U L' U' L D' L' D L' U D' L2 U' L2 D L2 or L' U L' U' y' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R F

(U' r' U' r) (U2) (R2 U2 R2 U R2 U R2) (r' U r)
(M' U' M') (U2 M U2 M' U2) (M' U' M' U' M') (U2 M' U') (M2)

I use M U (M' U' M' U') (M' U M' U) M U' M2. In order for this alg to be good you have to do (M' U' M' U') (M' U M U) kind of like M2' U2' M2' U2 but you stagger the doubleflicks. Another option is S U' R U2 R2 U' R U R U' S' R U' R'.

Hey Forum,

So what I want to know is how do you solve F2L alg 32, but when the corner isn't directly on top of the edge? Is there a faster way other than lining it up and doing triple sexy? Screenshot below for reference.



Hey forum,

Is there a way to tell which way you can pair this situation, using open slots, and not lining it up to the center color it matches, hiding the edge, then pairing the corner to it?

Screenshot below for reference.

When corner is in front left: R U' R' U R U' R' U R U' R'
When corner is in back right: R U' R' U R U2 R' U' R U R'
When corner is in back left: U' and then the first case

It's much more efficient to solve with hedge U' R U R' when it's on the back right

 

[Steve AC]

Hedge = reverse sledgehammer?

 

[carcass]

F2L 22: r U' r' U2 r U r' OR F' L' U2 L F

Yeah you are right. I simply gave algs I knew.
