It is important to minimize the time for AUF. You should know if a quarter/half turn is necessary or not before ending PLL process, and carry out AUF without examining the color of the faces of cube. It can be said that AUF is a part of PLL process. I think there are 2 momentsContinue reading “AUF method after PLL”

(x’ R U’ R’ D) (R U R’ D’) (R U R’ D) (R U’ R’ D’ x) (the color of FUR corner and that of RU edge are same) This algorithm is rhythmical and easy. I think this is the choice.

1. Na perm: (R F U’) (R’ U R U) (F’ R2′ F’ R U R U’ R’ F) (any position is ok) Finger tricks: F/F’ (marked in red) by right ring finger. U/F’ (marked in blue) by left index finger. This algorithm is 17-move length without requiring regrip. Although it has 4 F/F’ moves,Continue reading “PLL N perm”

F (R U’ R’ U’) (/ R U R’) F’ (R U R’ U’) (/ R’ F R F’) (V mark on front right position) Finger tricks: Although it is not necessary to regrip from beginning to end, I prefer regripping 2 times (marked by “/“ sign) during turning the preceding U’. This is becauseContinue reading “PLL Y perm”

(R’ U R U’ R’) (f’ U’) (R U2 R’ U’ R U’ R’) (f R) (V mark on front left position) Finger tricks: It is better to begin with thumb on U-face. f’ U’ (marked in red) by right thumb, pushing U-face to back if you turn f’ by left index finger. This isContinue reading “PLL V perm”

1. Aa perm: (x L2) D2′ (L’ U’ L) D2′ (L’ U L’ x’) (a headlight on L-face) (x R’ U R’) D2 (R U’ R’) D2 (R2 x’) (V mark on front left position) 2. Ab perm: (x’ L2′) D2′ (L U L’) D2′ (L U’ L x) (a headlight on L-face) (x R2′)Continue reading “PLL A perm”

(R’ U’ R U’) (R U R U’) (R’ U R U) (R2 U’ R’) (two faces of the same color combination on F & L-faces) I was using the typical algorithm M’ U M2′ U M2′ U M’ U2 M2′, but by the same reason I wrote in my previous blog (PLL H perm),Continue reading “PLL Z perm”

S (R U2′) (R2′ U2′) (R2 U2′ R) S’ (a headlight at any angle) Finger tricks: over turn the last R (marked in red) by right index finger. S’ by left index finger, holding F-slice by right thumb and index fingers. I was using the typical algorithm M2′ U’ M2′ U2′ M2′ U’ M2′. ButContinue reading “PLL H perm”

1. Ra perm: (R U’ R’ U’) (R U R D) (R’ U’ R D’) (R’ U2 R’) (a headlight on L-face) 2. Rb perm: (R2 F R U) (R U’ R’ F’ R) (U2 R’ U2 R) (a headlight on L-face) The both algorithms are pretty straightforward.

(R U R’ U’) (R’ F R2 U’ R’ U’) (R U R’ F’) (a headlight on L-face) I think It better not to regrip at any part of the moves to avoid loosing time, especially at the beginning. If you start with regrip (thumb on D-face), it will be necessary to regrip before R’Continue reading “PLL T perm”

1. Ga perm: R2 U (R’ U R’) U’ (R U’ R2) D U’ (R’ U R) D’ (a headlight on L-face) Finger tricks: U (marked in blue) by left index finger. D U’ by left index and ring fingers at the same time. R2 (marked in green) are over turned by right index finger.Continue reading “PLL G perm”

1. Ja perm: x (R2 F R F’) (R U2) (r’ U r U2) x’ (a bar on L-face) (R’ U L’) U2 (R U’ R’) U2 (R L) (a bar on F-face) Finger tricks: R’ U L’ begging with regrip (thumb on U-face), and L’ by left “ring” finger maintaining the basic position, whichContinue reading “PLL J perm”

(R’ U’ F’) (R U R’ U’) (R’ F R2 U’ R’ U’) (R U R’ U R) (a bar on L-face) (R’ U R U’ R2) (F’ U’ F U R) (F R’ F’ R2) (a bar on F-face) Finger tricks: U (marked in red) by right ring or left index finger. I wasContinue reading “PLL F perm”

1. Ua perm: (R2′ U’) (F B’ R2) (F’ B U’ R2′) (a bar on L-face) (R U R’ U) (R’ U’ R2 U’) (R’ U R’ U R) (a bar on F-face) Finger tricks: F B’ and F’ B by using right index and ring fingers at the same time, pinching S-slice with rightContinue reading “PLL U perm”
