The "Request an Alg" Thread

[Lid]

Does anyoe have a short squar 1 partity alg that works and isn't (5,2) and for example 2 you can only do 3

These are are the shortest parity EP-algs that I have that doesn't have any 5's in it:

Z/op: / (3,3) / (1,0) / (-2,4) / (2,-4) / (0,4) / (2,2) / (-3,0) / (-3,-3) / (-3,0) [9|23]
op/Z: / (-3,-3) / (0,-1) / (-4,2) / (4,-2) / (-4,0) / (-2,-2) / (-3,0) / (-3,-3) / (-3,0)
H/op: / (3,3) / (1,0) / (-2,4) / (2,-4) / (2,0) / (3,3) / (-3,0) / (3,3) / (3,0) [9|23]
op/H: / (-3,-3) / (0,-1) / (-4,2) / (4,-2) / (0,-2) / (-3,-3) / (0,3) / (-3,-3) / (0,-3)

yo dude what's the simplest way to change the orientation of every single edge on a 3x3 (i dont care about edge permutation, or corner permution or orientation)

is there anything better than (F B') U (R L') B2 D2 F finger-trick-wise?

it's for EO in ZZ btw

I'm facing a parity problem on my 4x4x4.

The cube is entirely solved except for 2 corners. The corners are next (at least if I ignore the 2 edge pieces separating them) to eachother. They need to be switched.

Any help?

 

[Rpotts]

Do the regular PLL parity alg -

r2 U2 r2 Uw2 r2 u2 r2

Then T/F perm.

Does anybody know a dedge flip algorithm for the 4x4 that flips the edge without messing up anything else?

so, if you used the algorithm on the above picture the cube would end up solved... Is there even such an algorithm?

rw2 B2 r' U2 r U2 R(3 layers) U2 r U2 RW' U2 l U2 B2 RW2

the RW means turn the right 2 layers, the lowercase r is an r slice

all lowercase = slice turns

r U2 x r U2 r U2 r' U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 r' u2 r' u2 L R' U2

simplification

does anyone know what 3x(R U' R' U) is simplified?

 

[cubernya]

does anyone know what 3x(R U' R' U) is simplified?

It should be (R U' R' U)3, but expanded it equates to R U' R' U R U' R' U R U' R' U

 

[zzomtceo]

It should be (R U' R' U)3, but expanded it equates to R U' R' U R U' R' U R U' R' U

I meant how to do that with less moves.

As what, an F2L case? (U') R2 U R2 U R2 U2 R2

 

[zzomtceo]

As what, an F2L case?

It is part of a PLL I use.

 

[RNewms27]

F (R U R' U')3 F' can be y R U R' U R U' R' U R U2 R'

Hi guys...
can u help me for this case?

Spoiler: Image

I always do
(PLL Error parity) Rw'2 F2 U2 Rw2 R'2 U2 F2 Rw2
and then twist the edge...
its so hard and i want to know what trick do you have for this...
thank u so much guys

Square 1 Alternative

Anyone know any alternative algorithms for these two orienting edges cases?
AU/DFs are fine.

Spoiler: single-single

Spoiler: adj-opp

I already know
(0,-1) / (-3,0) / (4,1) / (-4,-1) / (3,0) / (0,-1)
and
(0,-1) / (3,0) / (0,-3) / (1,-2) / (3,0) / (-1,0)
but the execution is sometimes nasty and corners are not preserved.

Anyone know any alternative algorithms for these two orienting edges cases?
AU/DFs are fine.

First case (both preserve CP):
(1,0) / (3,0) / (3,0) / (-1,-1) / (-2,1) / (-3,0) / (-1,0)
or
(1,0) / (-3,0) / (3,0) / (-1,-1) / (-2,1) / (3,0) / (-1,0)

Second case (both preserve CP):
(0,-1) / (3,0) / (-3,0) / (1,1) / (3,0) / (-3,0) / (-1,0)
and the mirror
(1,0) / (0,-3) / (0,3) / (-1,-1) / (0,-3) / (0,3) / (0,1)

I need some good algs for the last two edges on big cubes.
