The hardest is the parity algorithm on the 1x1.

[@darth4arth]

CMDR RainbowDemon101 I agree

[@yeeeeeeeeeeeeeet]

That’s a hard alg

[@alicodm5120]

Same bro!!!!

[@f7ckrob]

Chuck Norris memorized every algorithm ever in -.4 seconds. Now, whenever he does an algorithm, it's not muscle memory, it's the cube solving itself so it won't have to face his wrath.

[@DepFromDiscord]

nah, he memorized them in 1.76556565 x 10^-2345678568776666 seconds. (shorter than -0.4 seconds) (im not even sure if negative seconds are possible. hold on lemme look this up... Edit: i got this from google: “time” is a method founded by man to record events. ... So to conclude this question, you can give negative time as in countdowns, or past events. But there is no such thing as a negative in a chronological time graph, that starts and ends with positive numbers, unless you consider BC as the negative on the line chart.) sorry im a math nerd XD

For even-order supercube PLL parity, you could use Rw2 B2 U2 r2 U2 B2 Rw2. It rotates a couple of centres, but doesn't break them up. Plus it's easy to memorise since it's "3 moves, r2, 3 moves in reverse"

mickaleb campbell I’m the same. I just see how easy these algorithms that he showed are. It’s literally just (r2 U2 r U2 r2 U2)*2. It’s only r2 r r2 with U2s in between each of the r moves.

[@k.i.1978]

Ya a lot of them are easy but some are pretty hard

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

Gummy Is the center safe PLL Parity alg hard for you?

[@casual_cubing]

The PLL Algorithm sheet that I printed out doesn't have that algorithm for the Na Permutation, and the ones it did have were akward and long, so I didn't learn them just like the G Permutations, but now I like the Na Permutation because it was actually easy to memorize! Thank you for making that algorithm easier to learn. The only other thing that I do have to say is that the U2 at the end of the Jb Permutation is just another U' at the end of the algorithm for those confused. You are my favorite KZbinr Z3Cubing!!

honestly i didnt have much trouble with the square-1 parity algorithm because it changes shape and i did it so much trying to memorize all the other algorithms it worked its way into my memory without me even realizing

[@Luceees]

for megamorphix do this: 1. put the edges that need to be swapped left and right 2. T-Perm 3. if your FUL corner is a big one: Dw' L' - if it is a small one: Dw L 4. another T-Perm 5. undo setup (for big corner L Dw, for small corner L' Dw' (6. to fix the center 180° rotated just do R U R' U x5) this is for right handed T-Perms since most people use those

That is the OLL 4x4 parity I use, but I don’t think that you need to do OLL after it, just only use inner turns instead of the wide turns. Edit: I meant the very first OLL parity.

[@solar2737]

Another parity algorithm on the 4x4 is r' U2 l F2 l' F2 r2 U2 r U2 r' U2 F2 r2 F2. This was for the first example you showed. It has almost a pattern which makes it easier to execute.

[@shaunyjohny5371]

if you o the megamorphix pll parity alg on a 3x3, it does an h perm

[@VedantKar111]

For the n perm, if u have a 2 piece block on the right do j perm, U, then j perm again. If u have w piece block on left do the inverse. Total is 27 moves but easy to remember

[@jpeg7082]

About the PLL one, an easier way to do it is put the two solved corners at the back, or if none, just do this on any side: R’ F R’ B2 R F’ R’ B2 R2 Only 9 moves ;)

[@Z3Cubing]

What are you talking about? That’s just an A-perm from an awkward angle.

[@jpeg7082]

It is? Huh. I don’t know, I’m not very good at the perms in general, so I main the beginner’s PLL. I am still a beginner at speedcubing so I am new to these J perms and Y perms and A perms.

[@brownlol2565]

I subbed

[@alanwakermj4life566]

1) I can see why you put the Na Perm there. It’s really long. But it’s still easy to memorise. The starting 4 moves are of the sune. Then J Perm except the last move. Then U2 and insert the pair. I learned it a bit differently but still the last part is the same 2) The Nb Perm is a weird algorithm with R U F moves. But it’s good as it doesn’t contain L Moves. 3) Good old OLL parity. I definitely see why you put it in there. Its really long and hard to memorise. There’s no easy way to memorise it. 4) I don’t know how to solve the megamorphix but it seems quite hard. 4b) That seems quite hard while doing blindfolded. It’s seems that it takes a lot of time to memorise everything too. 5) How do people even average 8 or 9 with this algorithm?

[@teaperm30]

2:50 J-Perm wants to know your location.

[@Green_boyY]

at the 4x4 OLL Parity if you turn only the inner layers at the RW/LW turns you will only flip the edge :o

[@adelmolopez7445]

For the first one i use: R B' R F2 R' B R F2 R2 Then i look at a side where the top layer corners look like the same color then i do the sequence again and i should get a parity

[@pyroman50]

2:56 or u could use the R2 g perms, they are way more finger trickable

[@cretorial]

For the Nb perm just do the Na Perm but on the other side so mirrored

[@randomvr6267]

I have an easier alg for N Perms For Nb: z’ u R’ u’ L2 For Na: z’ u’ R u L2 And sometimes after you do it it gives you a good PLL like H perm Edit: for each you need to repeat it 5 times

[@recubeulous]

If you use r’s and l’s for 4x4 parity flipped edge then you will have it solved when you’re done

[@tylergold6978]

The Nb perm can be done as the Na, but mirrored to the left side So essentially change R to L’ U to U’ And F to F’ and vice versa

[@Z3Cubing]

Exactly, who likes doing L moves? :P

[@tylergold6978]

It’s the only alg I know for it so that’s why it’s my least favorite PLL
