A list of algorithms for Pyraminx.

Note, when describing specific edges orientation the faces are needed, normally the notation refers to the tips. In these descriptions a face is oppisite to a tip, the L face is opposite to the R tip, R face opposites L tip, D face/U tip and F face/B tip. This makes the six edges RF (or FR depending on orientation), LF, DF, RD, LD and RL. The first thre makes the first or last layer edges, the last three the first or last tip edges depending on method used.

Last layer edges:

The last layer edges are the three ones sourrounded by the three tips R, L and U (the F face), that makes the edges RF, DF and LF. There are 6 cases in this group, of these one is solved. The occurance is 1:12 (1 skip in 12 solves) so some of the cases are more than once. All algorithms in this group preserves all but the last three edges.

R' L R L' ... "Niklas".

L R' L' R ... Mirror "Niklas" (or inverse).

R' L R L U L U' ... "U-PLL".

L R' L' R' U' R' U ... Mirror U.

R' L R L' U L' U' L ... Flips two edges.

Last edge on first tip:

The last edge on the first tip is normally the second last step, done before last layer edges. The edge is in this case the one between the R and the B tips, the RB edge. There are 8 cases in this group, of these one is solved. The occurance is 1:8 (1 skip in 8 solves). All algorithms in this group preserves UB and UL edges and all centres.

algs soon, must get the puzzle =)
