Anyone know the case to orient LL while inserting the f2l pair?

M U r U r' U' M'

Best T-perm alg for 2x2 (other than the 3x3 one)?

 

[Naillig]

You can do the J-perm instead for that on, hold it the same as the T-perm:

R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U'

It's the one I personally use.

I like x' R2 U2 R' U' R U2 L' U R' U'

M U r U r' U' M'

EDIT: Inserted a U move into my alg to create an OLLCP. F' U' R U2 L' U L U2 R' U F

I think x' D R U' R U R' U R' D' R U' R' x is better though.

I'm just learning how to solve a 4x4.
I'm on the last step: solving it like a 3x3, and I find the OLL parity alg very difficult to remember.
Could someone give me one that's very easy to remember, even if it's not very "fast".
Thanks.

I found Rw U2 x Rw U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Lw U2 Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 Rw' very easy to remember, and it's a really fast alg.

Thanks.
That's exactly what I as looking for.

Anyone know algs to orient LL while inserting the f2l pair for these cases?

case 1 setup- R B' R U R2 U R2 U' B2 U' B' R2 U2
case 2 setup- B2 F2 L D L' B' F U B' U F R2
case 3 setup- R U B U' B2 U' B R' B' U B

thanks in advance

I can't decide which alg to use for this case. What do you guys use? http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/in...e=view&view=default&puzzle=3&group=COLL&cid=9

I use R' F2 R U2 R U2 R' F2 R U2 R'.
It's 2 moves more than the optimal alg, but it's still very fast and you only need to re-grip once.

thanks, I like that alg. and what about this case: http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/in...=view&view=default&puzzle=3&group=COLL&cid=24

R U D' R U R' D R2 U' R' U' R2' U2' R.
Do the (U D') together.

 

[Jaycee]

what about this case: http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/in...=view&view=default&puzzle=3&group=COLL&cid=24

If you don't like Sarah's alg try R U' R' U2 L' U R U' L R' U2 R U R'

 

[sa11297]

ok cool. I like them both. I will see which one I like better. Both are WAY better than what I was using before.

Just another alg for you, R U2 R' (F R' F' R)3 R U2 R'

 

[Lid]

I use R' F2 R U2 R U2 R' F2 R U2 R'.
It's 2 moves more than the optimal alg, but it's still very fast and you only need to re-grip once.

I use this one: F (R U' R') U R U R' (U R U' R') F', maybe longer but only 13qtm

Does anyone know an algorithm to solve this case when the slot is in the back? (case 25 and 26) http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/F2L

25 - Rotate.
26 - R U R U R U' R' U' R'

 

[sa11297]

25 - Rotate.
26 - R U R U R U' R' U' R'

but what if I dont want to rotate?
