If you just want to take care of the OLL case I highly recommend (assuming right-handed) to do this: (R'D'RD)M(D'R'Dr) I used to use this alg all the time (as is).
Now to be more advanced about it, the popular convention/recommendation is to hold the cube with the LL on top. In that case it would be: (RUR'U')(rR'U)(RU'r') It's the same as the one I discovered myself but I would attribute it to Bob. I first saw it on his site. As for the ELL case, I would just use the (M'U)^3 U (Mu)^3 U alg that I attribute to Macky, when I leanred it for BLD. I have an optimized one for ELL that I use in my CLL/ELL system though that is rather complicated but much faster. -Doug --- In [email protected], "Mike Bennett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "nickandtamcox" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > MDM'DMDM'DMD2M'DMDM'DMDM'D2 is just one situation that I need help > > with.
