Lucas's Edge Permutation Page
Note: The tables will overlap 10% (of the page width) past the right in Internet Explorer. Be cool; use Firefox.The applets on this page, as on my alg page, are Josef Jelinek's Java Rubik's Cube animation applets.
These are the algs I use for edge permutation. I mostly use Allans, but the one variant avoids setup moves, and parities are common. I'm leaving out algs that are impractical to consider unless encountered, like M2U2M2U2. I also know both directions of Allans from all angles, and some of their inverses; extrapolate and interpolate.
| CO | Straight Execution |

| [1 3][2 4] Arne Parity |
M2' U' M2' U2' M2' U' M2' |
| [1 4][2 3] Bert Other parity; note the direction of the last "U" (found this one in chemistry class during Study Session) |
M2' U' M' U2' M2' U2' M' U M2' |
| [1 2 5] Allan variant Has a nice rhythm to it; also found this one myself. Make sure to perform it on two unrestricted faces (like U and F) |
(R2 U R U R) U' (R' U' R' U' R') Here, with the F face being used as R. |
| [2 3 4] Allan Yet another variant |
R2 U R U R2' U' R' U' R' U2 R' |
