    When I first started speedcubing wayy back on 2009, I tried to 'understand' the algorithm instead of simply 'memorizing' them, just like what you said in this video. Funny enough my first intuition for understanding the OLL & PLL algorithm was 'Destroy & Repair' instead of Commutator or Conjugate, and I've been training my cubing solely based on destroy & repair for about a year. At the peak of my skill, I could impress most of my peers using unconventional algorithm and 'shortcuts'. (In other words, just showing off)
    Sadly, I have stopped cubing for a very long time because I have lost my initial motivation of doing speedcubing, which was to 'Impress other people'. If there is anything you can take from my experience... When you learn something new, don't do it just to 'impress other people'.

  • @_wetmath_
    @_wetmath_ 3 ปีที่แล้ว +48

    hi dylan, i think i know why the 2 oll cases add up to a y perm. i imagine some years ago, when oll algs were being invented (with break and repair), someone noticed that if you do the first oll on a solved cube, you get the second oll. and once they solved the second oll, they noticed they had a different permutation of top layer pieces.
    with a bit more experimenting, they learnt to use these 2 olls together to make one pll. i havent confirmed this anywhere but this history of y perm makes the most sense to me.

    • @PanjaRoseGold

      Whenever I try teaching people to solve the cube I intentionally avoid the word "algorithm", opting instead for "sequence". It sounds less intimidating for people and so I find people are more willing to learn if you start by calling algs sequences instead.

  • @_wetmath_
    @_wetmath_ 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    I've thought about this subject for a long time, and here is how think the history of cfop algorithms progressed:
    cross (intuitive)
    f2l (intuitive)
    on a solved cube, break one or more f2l pairs and repair them. see how this affects the top layer pieces. record down the algorithm and what it does. this gives you a lot of oll cases to play with.
    next, someone noticed that oll 37 + oll 33 on a solved cube leads to what we now know as y perm. im gonna guess this is the first pll discovered that involves both edge and corner pieces (because all edge only or corner only algs can be solved with somewhat intuitive commutators).
    from y perm, you can set up a bunch of other plls to it. some examples are j perm and t perm. with this new setup to _perm trick, you can explore many setups and get plls such as f perm and both n perms.
    i think once these 'basic' plls (edge only perms, corner only perms, y j t f n perms) have been discovered, people have already started using computers to solve any of the olls and plls that have not had their algs discovered yet. this irons out all leftover oll and pll cases, and today we have access to multiple algs of the same cases

  • @sh41

  • @jensw9128
    @jensw9128 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The thing with break and repair is that different algorithms effect the parts you normally dont care about in different ways and this is even the case when using an alg, and then the mirrored inverse of itself, so while its more or less impossible to predict what is going to happen, you will definitely change something without destroying what you archived yet and that is always a good thing.
    For me break and repair is the most intuitive of the shown methods even if commutators are more powerful.

  • @maykol2714
    @maykol2714 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My guess here is that, the y-perm alg was found and why it works with oll 33 + oll 37 because the main foundation of them are commutators and several experimentations on the common trigger moves (sexy move, reverse sexy move, sledgehammer, and hedgeslammer) that are joined together. oll 25 is just a wide oll 33 and oll 24 is just a wide oll 37. And since, in those wide olls, the edges also commutate with the corners. This creates a sequence of commutating pieces that can result to what we call now the Y perm.

    @nicolasbastos133 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think it’s funny that you display the break and repair algorithms as Alg1 + alg2 = alg3. Because you are soooooo close to the mathematical theory behind the rubicks cube. The cube is a type of Group. Groups are the mathematical objects used to study symmetry, and believe it or not, numbers are a group. So the reason why doing two algorithm one after the other yields the end state of a different algorithm is a result of the symmetrical structure of the rubik’s cube group. Worth researching a little bit.
    There is one method of solving the rubicks cube, where you can “intuitively” set the rubicks cube into a specific, but simple pattern, and afterwards you can use symmetry and group theory to quickly solve the cube.
    Great video! Time to play around with commutators.

    Speaking about algorithms, I found an R, U, D T-perm while messing around that felt really satisfying to do. It goes R2 U R2 U' R2 U' D R2 U' R2 U R2 D'. It has most likely been found before and might have even already been suggested. I know it isn't faster than the standard algorithm but it was fun to mess around with.

    A Y perm is actually possible to construct intuitively, funnily enough. It's just a conjugated cyclic shifted J perm, and J perm is a block comm with an extra move to make it a 2e2c. There are definitely some completely unintuitive algs, but y perm isn't exactly one of them

      Sorry I know this is an old comment, but would you mind explaining a bit more? What's does 'conjugated cyclic J perm mean? What's a block comm? 2e2c means 2 edges 2 corners? I would love to know what you mean

    • @cookierobber
      @cookierobber 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@voidboi95 So a commutator (like J perm shows in the video) normally affects 3 pieces. However, you can affect more pieces if you use wide moves. For example, the commutator F' l F R' F' l' F R (written as [F' l F, R'] in comm notation, if you're familiar with that) cycles round 3 blocks of pieces. This is called a block comm. Doing R U' R' after that block comm will place all 3 blocks that were affected onto the U layer. That means that we can do R U R' [the block comm] R U' R' to turn it into a last layer algorithm, which is a conjugate, as J perm describes in the video. Writing that alg out in full gives R U R' F' l F R' F' l' F R2 U' R', which is just another way of writing the standard J perm. So the standard J perm is a conjugated block comm. Writing it that way means it's a 3E3C alg (3edges 3 corners), because those are the affected pieces. If we add a U' at the end however, it becomes a 2E2C alg, because 2 of the blocks we cycled get returned to their original places, and one block that wasn't affected now is. So the 2E2C version of J perm (that we'll use going forward) is R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' (the last move is important here). Now, this affects 2 edges and 2 corners, and we can manipulate it to affect other combinations of 2 edges and 2 corners. For example, if we do R' U' [J perm] U R, we get a ZBLL (a lot of people use this as a COLL alg too). This was a way of conjugating the J perm, but if you write it out fully it looks like: R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' U R. You might notice that the last 4 moves cancel themselves out, so in reality the full alg is R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U'. This is a conjugate of J perm, but because the setup we did cancelled fully with the end of the alg, it's the same length as the original alg. Essentially what we've done is just taken the last 2 moves from the end of the alg and shifted them to the start. This is a technique known as cyclic shifting. If we take J perm and instead shift 4 moves from the start to the end (the R U R' F') then we actually end up with T perm. It's just a cyclic shifted J perm, so it too can be seen as a setup into a block comm. Going a bit further with this, if we take T perm (R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F') and shift another 4 moves from the start (the R U R' U') then the alg we end up with is actually the swapping alg we use in old pochmann corners (this is for blindfolded solving, so don't worry about it if you don't know blind. The important thing is it's an alg that swaps UB with UL, and UBL with RDF). Now, we can keep cyclic shifting this alg but eventually we'll just end up back at J perm (hence the "cyclic" bit of "cyclic shift"). So we're going to stop here, with the alg R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U'. However, since 3/4 of the pieces affected by this alg are in the U layer, and the third is in RDF (which is easy to set up to the U layer) we can conjugate THIS alg, and get another LL algorithm. Doing F [this alg] F' means it's going to swap UBL with UFR instead (and still swap UB with UL), which means we've just created Y perm.

      @@cookierobber thanks for taking the time to write this! Unfortunately I’m kind of stuck at the start. I recognise that alg, you can use it in F2L to inset an oriented edge in the top layer into its slot. And I can see that it cycles 3 2x1 blocks, so calling it a block comm makes sense. But how is this even a comm at all? Maybe I just don’t understand commutators deeply yet, because I can’t wrap my head around how this works since all the blocks aren’t in the same layer. The idea of block comms is cool though, I just invented this shitty Nb perm with it: [RFR’URF’R’U’RFR’, U2]

    • @cookierobber
      @cookierobber 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@voidboi95 Well, a commutator doesn't require all the pieces to be in the same layer, just 2 of them. Here 2 of the blocks are in the R layer, so it's fine. But anyway, a normal commutator has a 3 move insertion and a 1 move interchange. The insertion needs to affect only 1 piece on the interchange layer. So F' L F R' F' L' F R would be an example of a commutator that cycles 3 corners. F' L F is the insertion, moving BUL into RUF, and R' is the interchange, moving RUB into RUF. So the commutator as a whole cycles BUL>RUF>RUB. Now, the block commutator I gave is a modified version of this. Instead of F' L F, the insertion is F' l F. This still moves BUL into RUF, but it also moves BU into RF. Normally an insertion needs to affect just one piece on the interchange layer (the R layer in this case). Here it affects 2 adjacent pieces (RUF and RF), but we can kind of think of them as one piece, since they don't get broken up at any point in the alg. So rather than cycling 3 individual pieces, the block comm cycles 3 corner-edge blocks (BU/BUL>RF/RUF>RU/RUB). If you imagine a cube where these blocks are attached together and actually *are* 1 piece it might make it easier to understand - on such a cube, the block comm would just be cycling 3 pieces, like the normal comm I showed above.

    The Y Perm is not actually that difficult to understand. Like you said, it's 2 OLLs.
    The first (OLL) part, F R U' R' U' R U R' F' is basically a conjugate. After the first four moves (F R U' R') the top layer still has the same pieces on the layer, so if you were to change something only on that layer (like doing a U'), then reverse those first 4 moves, you wont have affected the bottom two layers, only the top layer.
    The second (OLL) part, R U R' U' R' F R F' is actually a commutator... not a corner commutator, but a block commutator, as in it cycles not just a corner or an edge, but a pair of them. If we rewrite the algorithm a bit, then it might be a bit easier to understand: (R U R' U') l' (U R U' R') l. The last two moves cancel out, but it's actually a commutator: A B A' B'. It's a 3 cycle of blocks, instead of corners or edges.
    And it just so happens that putting those together produces a diagonal corner swap, in this case a Y Perm. And you can actually change the algorithm so it doesn't move any corners, simply changing the second U' in the algorithm to a U. This doesn't really accomplish anything useful, but if you look, you can see that no corners have changed position and have just changed rotation (even after doing a 3 cycle, which doesn't preserve corner position)
    Hope this isn't too confusing haha :)

      well first of all lets be sure that you didnt fall in the same stupid mistake that i did.. l’ = small L’ = Lw’ i didnt realize it immediately..
      the first 4 moves are the same (R U R’ U’) than l’ means that your are turning the L slice and the M slice up that in the end is the same of doing R’ (that is the next move in the original alg) and a X move (so the center pf the cube in front of you goes in the top face).. at this point the next moves are F R F’.. but since we did a X move all the F moves becomes U moves and F’ becomes U’ while the R remains R. at this point the sequence is done but to complete the commutator we need to undo the l’ move with a l move. The clever idea is that we also add a R move and you should realize that l’ + R is not changing anything in the cube ;)
