The voila method (easy PLL)

I use two easy OLLs :
[_F_] = F (RUR'U')*3 F'
[_R_] = RU (UR'U'R)*2 U'R'

Then, I have five PLLs :
V = U [_F_] [_R_]
Y = [_R_] U [_F_]
H = [_R_] U [_R_] U'
Z = [_R_] U' [_R_] U
E = ([_F_] U')*3 U'

Easy to remember, easy to do (no regrip), and fast !

(At first I thought it was a weird Yish thing involving only 7 algs for LL...)

Fantastic! This could be good for people learning PLL...
Let me calculate all the N-like PLLs and make another thread...

For example :
PLL V = U [_F_] [_R_] = U (F (RUR'U')*3 F') (RU (UR'U'R)*2 U'R')

Don't think of [_F_] as a move or anything. It's an algorithm. He's basically combining 2 easy OLL algs in certain ways to create PLL's. It would make more sense to make [_F_] as like [1], so there's less confusion. Then [2], [3], etc.

OKay, not worth a new thread. All you can get is Arne/H, J, L, 2 N's and all 4 G's.
Also, with double-layer u twists, you can get E and the A's...
Makes for 12 PLLs...
Hmm, not bad, actually, for only two basic half-algs...

I can list a sample alg for each, if anyone cares.

dRaGon, I use [_F_] and [_R_] because it is the first move of each algo. It is easy to remember for me like that.

Dene, I found it on my own (because I don't have good memory). I decided to make a new thread because I think it can be a complete method (I practically have all the OLL part in the same way).

Lucas, I don't have the other PLLs yet (I have some issues but they are too long). If you (or anyone) find good ones...

that's pretty neat. i wonder if you can add a third algorithm such that the 3 together can make all PLL's

edit: i mean obviously, corner 3 cycle or something like that should do the trick, but i was thinking of something easier to remember. meh

? 4 algs, really easy to memorize, in my opinion:

EO: F R U R' U' F' <--- everyone should know this anyway
CO: D' R' D R repeated <--- found in the solution book that comes with the cube.
CP: R' D2 R repeated
EP: M D2 M' repeated

You should be able to figure out how this works...

That would work and would be pretty intuitive, but it requires to many moves and those moves are pretty slow too. It would be faster to use these 4 algs:
EO: F R U R' U' F'
CO: (Sune) R U R' U R U2 R'
CP: (A-PLL) R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2
EP: (U-Perm) R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 (or F2 U L R' F2 L' R U F2)
