These are really cool patterns, but I can't see the captions :(

There is an "i" in the top left corner of the picture, click it for the captions :]

For cube in a cube: I prefer:
[U L2 D] (R B')x3 [D' L2 U] [R2 F2 U2]

The extra marks are how I chunk up the algorithm in my head (x3 means do the part in parentheses before it 3 times). This algorithm is much easier to remember.

i would be stoked if u could figure out a algorithhim for this posision and the picture is of the same cube but on oppisite faces

For future reference, http://www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/cubie.htm is a great tool for setting up patterns and then having the computer find algorithms to create them for you.

It's Fi U Bi Ri U F2 U2 Fi Ui F U2 D Bi Di R2 B2 Ui

:] hope it helps

U' L' U' F' R2 B' R F U B2 U B' L U' F U R F'

is technically fewer moves ;)

Aug 11, 2009. 10:55 AMRobert L says:

You didnt its fine.

Aug 13, 2011. 7:40 AMjmiester says:

To do the first pattern, just turn the middles 180 degrees on all 3 axis. The order doesn't matter, as long as you do each the full 180 before moving on to the next

Where are the captions??? :)

can any1 tell me please what what the letters mean in relation to the cube cos i can solve it but i have no idea what this rubiks talk means an i would really like to do these patterns

Jan 18, 2011. 6:49 PMGEIAN says:

F,IS STANDS FOR FRONT,b is back l left r right b bottom u up d down., i want your reply thanks

Dec 15, 2010. 6:24 PM

patriots8888 says:

L means you move the left side clockwise, R means right side clockwise, F means turn the front clockwise, B means move the back clockwise, and U means move the top clockwise. When there is a lowercase i after it, it means go counterclockwise instead. Hope that helps!

THANKZ HEHEHEHE
