Frequently asked questions

How many OLL algorithms are there?
There are 57 OLL cases, one algorithm each. 2-look OLL needs only 10: 3 algorithms to orient the edges, then 7 to orient the corners.
How often does each OLL case come up?
An OLL skip (the top face already solved after F2L) happens with probability 1/216. 51 of the 57 cases each come up with probability 1/54. Rarer: OLL 1, OLL 21, OLL 55, OLL 56, and OLL 57 (1/108 each); OLL 20 (1/216).
Which OLL algorithms are the shortest?
Shortest: OLL 43, OLL 44, and OLL 45, 6 moves each. Longest: OLL 56, 14 moves. Move counts exclude cube rotations (x, y, z).
