Скачать или смотреть How to Generate Algorithms: Rex Rhombic Dodecahedron

By request, I'm using the brilliant Rex Rhombic Dodecahedron to demonstrate how to generate commutators and come up with algorithms. With this process, you should be able to apply it to any twisty puzzle to assist with the solve.

Step 1: Generate a commutator using X Y X'Y', such as R U R' U'

Step 2: Analyze the position of the pieces, and see which ones were affected by step 1. Then do a middle move which isolates a single piece that was affected by the commutator, , replace it with another piece, and then return it back to the configuration at the end of step 1.

Step 3: Reverse the commutator from step 1, then reverse the middle move from step 2.

Now see which pieces were exchanged. Then repeat this using different middle moves to isolate different pieces.

Stay tuned for part 2 where we go through the solve, and for future instructions on how to design algorithms!
