• Algorithms:
  • When you have two pieces (and for each piece their sides are in opposite positions), use the following algorithm “L, R’, L’, R, U’, R, U, R’ “
  • This algorithm, “R, U, R’, U, R, U, R” can be used when the bottom face of the pyraminx is solved, but the edge pieces for the remaining faces are in wrong positions (and must be shifted to the face on the left).
  • This algorithm, “R, U’, R’, U’, R, U’, R’” can be used when the bottom face of the pyraminx is solved, but the edge pieces for the remaining faces are in wrong positions (and must be shifted to the face on the right).
  • This algorithm, “R, U’, R’”, can be used when 3 Edge-pieces are on the Left-face.
  • This algorithm, “L’, U, L’”, can be used when 3 Edge-pieces are on the Right-face.
