The "Request an Alg" Thread

It sounds like youve either made your centers incorrectly or you have PLL parity. r2 U2 r2 u2 r2 Uw2 and then PLL. Doesn't matter where you place the corners.

 

[Stingray970]

Turns out I was making the centers incorrectly. I was just remembering what color was opposite what color, rather than following the color scheme.

I just switched two opposite centers and I was fine.

OH oll for 17? one without sledgehammer please.
alg for f2l 17 and 23, when open slot is in the back right.

 

[Rpotts]

OLL 17 - y2 x U R' U' r' x' R2 U R U' R' U' M'

I don't think either of those f2l cases get much from BR being open.

What's the easiest 4x4 Cross parity alg to learn?

Thanks.

thanks for the alg. I realized that I I was a bit confusing. I meant that the BR is the slot to be solved , not that it is open and if there was an alg that utilizes that. So is there any good algs for cases 17 and 23 when you are holding it after doing a y' (BR is the slot be solved then) ?

better CLL algs for the following cases

setup - R' U R' U R U' R B R' z2
setup - R' F2 R U2 R U' R' F y2
setup - R' U' R D' R' U R' U' R U' R y2
setup - R U R' D R U' R U R' U R' y2

better CLL algs for the following cases

These are the cll's I use
1.ULF'z'R'UR'U'RU'R
2.B’RBR’U2R’U2R
3+4.same as your setup

Can someone help me find find the following
1.a good j-perm alg that also flips UF and UL
2.a good j-perm alg that also flips Uf and UB

Thanks.

I'm assuming you mean OLL parity?

The one I use is:
r' U2 r U2 r' F2 r2 U2 r U2 r' U2 x U2 r2 U2 x'

anyone know an easy alg for Z and H perm using mostly only R and U? caue i cant do M moves on my 4x4. thanks!

Z: R' U' R U' R U R U' R' U R U R2 U' R' // R U R' U R' U' R' U R U' R' U' R2 U R
H: R2 U2 R U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 R U2 R2 or L' R' U2 L R y L R U2 L' R'

 

[KingTim96]

thank you very much

Z: R' U' R U' R U R U' R' U R U R2 U' R' // R U R' U R' U' R' U R U' R' U' R2 U R
H: R2 U2 R U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 R U2 R2 or L' R' U2 L R y L R U2 L' R'

This case. Does anyone know any cool tricks for it? I've been working on learning PLL parity cases, but for this one I seem to be stuck with parity + E perm, and I was wondering if there was any good alternatives, because I can't find any.

z F2 Rr2 R' F2 R2 U2 Rr2 R U2 R' F2 Rr2 U2 R F2 z'

 

[Robert-Y]

Meh, that alg is only 2 quarter turns shorter than doing E perm then PLL parity :S...

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Rw2 B2 U2 Lw2 D R2 D2 F2 U L2 U L2 U2 F2 D' F2 Lw2

It works, and Isnt "that" bad. I dont think there is many good algs for it.

 

[Robert-Y]

z F2 Rr2 R' F2 R2 U2 Rr2 R U2 R' F2 Rr2 U2 R F2 z'

Actually I take it back, it's quite fast IMO

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

z F2 Rr2 R' F2 R2 U2 Rr2 R U2 R' F2 Rr2 U2 R F2 z'

That's pretty awesome, thanks .

 

[sa11297]

(y z) R' U R' D R2 U' R (U D') R' D R2 U' R D' (z')
(z) D R' U R2 D' R (U' D) R' U R2 D' R U' R' (z')
(z) U R' D R2 U' R (D' U) R' D R2 U' R D' R' (z')

which Na is generally considered the fastest/ most widely used?

 

[ottozing]

(y z) R' U R' D R2 U' R (U D') R' D R2 U' R D' (z')
(z) D R' U R2 D' R (U' D) R' U R2 D' R U' R' (z')
(z) U R' D R2 U' R (D' U) R' D R2 U' R D' R' (z')

which Na is generally considered the fastest/ most widely used?

i think most people use either R U R' U (Jperm without U') U2 R U' R' or the first alg you posted.
