VHLS

VHLS Information Proposer(s): Lars Vandenbergh, Dan Harris Proposed: unknown Alt Names: VHF2L Variants: none Subgroup: unknown No. Algs: 32 Avg Moves: 6.63 (11.27 including setup moves for one slot) Purpose(s): Speedsolving

VHLS (short for Vandenbergh-Harris Last Slot) is a step of the Vandenbergh-Harris method that accomplishes the same goal as ZBLS: orienting the last layer edges while solving the last f2l slot. VHLS is a subset of ZBLS, for the 4 F2L cases where the pair is either already made, or one move away. As such, to use VHLS you must first setup to one of these simple cases.

VHLS isn't particularly efficient: once the F2L pair is setup, it's often best to insert it directly, as orienting the last layer edges when f2l is so close to solved has a significant associated cost. This method may interest those looking for a stepping stone to ZBLS.

Note that all of these algorithms assume that you are right-hand dominant and know the Western notation, where a lowercase letter means a double-layer turn and rotations are denoted by x, y, and z. (how to add algorithms) Click on an algorithm (not the camera icon) to watch an animation of it.
