The "Request an Alg" Thread

[scottishcuber]

I need algs for all orientations with diagonal or adjacent swap.

Have you checked here at all?

edit: You seem to have checked it, looking at the above comments.
edit: im trying to find some algs now

edit:

Spoiler: Adjacent swaps

L' U R U' L U R',
U2 r U' r' U' r U r' y' R' U R,
U R U R' U' R' F R F',
U' R U2 R' U2 R' F R F',U z U R2 U' R2 U' y R U R' x
U2 F' r U r' U' r' F r, U F R U' R' U' R U R' F'
F R' F' R U R U' R',
U' L' U2 L U2 L F' L' F, U R' U2 R U2 R y' r' U' r
F R' F' R2 r' U R U' R' U' M'

Spoiler: Diagonal swaps

R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2, L' U2 R U' R' U2 L R U' R'
F R U R' U' F'
U F R U R' U' F'
f U R' U' R f', U2 F R U R' U' F'
U F U R U' R' F'
F U R U' R' F'
U' F U R U' R' F'
L' U2 L F R U2 R' F' L' U2 L, R U2 R' F' z U' R2 U z' F R U2 R'

In bold are possible OH alternatives, and those I haven't given alternatives for are already good. These algs are so short and are really easy so there isn't much need for a <R,U,Rw,D> set, I think those algs would be much longer anyway.

The lists are in the same order as in the CPEOLL thread table.

I need it for oh and <R,U,r,D> are the best moves for oh and it definitely can be possible to solve cases with this moves.

Antoine Cantin has a page with his OH CPEOLL algs, they're not much different but they get the job done.

Hi, After getting my time under 1 minute with the beginner method, I decided to move on to F2l, Oll, and Pll. F2l was easy, but I am having an issue with Pll. I am working on two look Oll and pll. But I am having an issue with Pll. When I finish Oll, I always seem to run into this, where most of the cube is solved except for edges that are right next to eachother. I am looking for an alg to just swap those edges and not ALL four. Also looking for an alg just to swap two adjacent corners. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If I've understood correctly, both are impossible cases. You have to take out those two edges/corners and put them back in the cube solved. Once you've done that, you should never have either of those two cases again.

I figured It out, It is in the regular pll page. (JA)

Give a man a fish AND teach a man to fish. Thanks Brest! So far, I like the bolded alg the most. It flows nicely with my style.

I prefer F R U R' U' R U' R' U' R U R' F' for this one. No regrip and very fast.

Edit: lol didn't see you already know this one, sorry.

 

[goodatthis]

Is there an alg set that solves the 3 remaining edges if you already have a tripod (F2L-1, and 2x2x1 on U layer)? If not, does anyone want to find out how many cases there would be? Also, this would disregard the 4 remaining corners.

Algo for 4x4 PLL parity which not affect the centers on the x-axis?

Check the Wiki: [WIKI]4x4x4 Parity Algorithms[/WIKI] - the ones marked with /Safe are supercube safe.

Setup: R U R' L' U L y'

Algs to solve the BR pair?

U R U' R' U R U' R' U' R' U' R

Thanks to you and TDM.

These algs are really nice. I found one myself: R2 U2 R U R U R2 (7f)

I'll try all of them and find the fastest.

I saw Kevin Hays' 6x6 example solve video, where he saved a edge that has parity until the end, and he solved the parity by swapping the inner edges rather than the outer edges. What's the alg for that?

I think he did the normal parity alg with the innermost slice moves instead of outer block turns. So instead of Rw2 for the first turn, he did (innermost right slice)2, and so on. You're going to have to test that out, since I don't have a 6x6 in front of me, but I'm pretty sure that's what he did.

Does anyone know better algs for the category 3 cases here? Or is that it.
Also what are the best H and Z perms? (for Skewb)

I'm gonna go ahead and bump this.

I'm gonna go ahead and bump this.

I use beginners for the cat. 3 pi cases, and for the peanut, I use H y H y S (Hedge and Sledge)

Z: (in FCN) R L' U' L U L R L' R

H: S y2 H 2 S (Hedge and Sledge)

Thanks! I already knew that Z-perm but not the H-perm, It's pretty good.
As for the cat. 3 cases that's pretty much what I do.

I think I've seen a good alg for COLL case 24 (Pi with same colors on headlights) before but can't seem to find it on the wiki nor on boca. Does anyone know?

Do you know what the alg vaguely looks like? Because what is good for one person may by awful for another.
