Commutators - Cube Theory 101


In this video I talk about commutators and why they are so useful in coming up with your own algorithms. Commutators are algorithm that follow the form of a b a' b' where a and b are both sub algorithms, and a' and b' are the inverse of a and b. The only pieces affected by the commutator algorithm will be pieces that intersect between the 2 sub algorithms. Usually you will want to keep the pieces that intersect to a minimum so that most of the puzzle will remain unaffected by the algorithm. Main commutators used in this video: Corner Cycle: 1: (R' D' R) 2: U' 1': (R' D R) 2': U Corner Twist: 1: (R' D R D' R' D R) 2: U' 1': (R' D' R D R' D' R) 2': U Edge Cycle: 1: (F R' F') 2: M 1': (F R F') 2': M' Edge Flip: 1: (U' R' U R F R' F') 2: M 1': (F R F' R' U' R U) 2': M' My facebook: http://facebook.com/redKB.FB My twitter: http://twitter.com/KennethBrandon My google+: http://google.com/+RedKB My instagram: http://instagram.com/red.kb
