When trying to work on an OLL or PLL algorithm it is often useful to have the inverse of the algorithm so that you can easily setup the situation you want to try. Use the algorithm inverter below to obtain an inverted algorithm.
This inverter uses Superset notation which you can find defined in [...]

One of the nicest things about the Counter-Strike series of games is the ability to customize your interface using scripts.
For those unaware of how to use scripts there are basically three kinds of statements:
Variable assignment
Alone these variables are not so useful; however, used in one of the following statements they can be much [...]

It is possible to solve the first layer corners and the second layer pieces at the same time. I do this intuitively (meaning I dont’ actually memorize these algorithms.) Yet here they are… enjoy.
There are three cases which I cover here.

Bottom cross colour on Up face.
Bottom cross colour on Right face.
Bottom cross [...]

2 Look PLL If you've followed my beginner tutorial then at this point you permute the last layer by first solving the corners and then solving the center edges. This should take you at most 4 looks. We're going to cut that down to two by introducing some new algorithms so that we can solve the [...]

2 Look OLL If you've followed my beginner tutorial then at this point you can solve the cross on the Up face using one algorithm and then repeat another algorithm up to 4 times (if you're not solving the cross with one algorithm check out my beginner tutorial to learn how to do it in one [...]

This is a beginners tutorial about solving the Rubik's cube. While learning the Rubik's cube I encountered many different beginner solutions. Parts of these solutions remained relevant as I learned more advanced methods; however, some of these algorithms are no longer useful to me. I have endevoured to write this tutorial using [...]

I recently picked up a Rubik's cube and started learning algorithms to solve it. I've only been at it for a week now but I've gotten my solution down to an average of 2:30 1:30 60 60 seconds with a best time of 45 seconds. My target is 30 seconds but I'm sure that's going to take [...]
