2026-01-07 04:32:23 +0100 <ncf> if you want *every* quarter turn in the sequence to move the chosen edge, then the answer should be no because every quarter turn flips the edge's orientation

2026-01-07 04:29:56 +0100 <ncf> requiring the edge to have moved during the sequence doesn't change anything, because you can always compose with Xⁿ, where X is a move of order n that moves every edge

2026-01-07 04:26:09 +0100 <ncf> the question has a bit of a trivial answer then: a single quarter move leaves 8 edges alone

2026-01-07 04:24:02 +0100 <ncf> yeah i totally failed to parse that

2026-01-07 04:23:39 +0100 <ncf> oh
2026-01-07 04:23:21 +0100 <int-e> it could certainly be phrased better
2026-01-07 04:23:07 +0100 <int-e> "odd move sequence"
2026-01-07 04:22:37 +0100 <ncf> so an "odd move" is an odd number of quarter turns?
2026-01-07 04:20:59 +0100 <int-e> (when looking at piece positions, not their orientation)
2026-01-07 04:20:02 +0100 <int-e> ncf: disallowing half turns matters if you're concerned with the number of moves you make, or just their parity, because each quarter turn is an odd permutation of the edge pieces and also an odd permutation of the corner pieces

2026-01-07 04:00:29 +0100 <ncf> "quarter turn only"? quarter turns generate all moves, what do you mean?

2026-01-07 03:49:40 +0100 <mange> I don't think there is. 3x3 cubes have edge parity, from memory, so I think only even permutations bring them back. (The above linked Wikipedia page says that corners are in Z_3 and edges are in Z_2, which is consistent with my memory.)

2026-01-07 03:40:14 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Liamzee> apparently i have no ability to assess whether DS claiming that there exists a odd move (quarter turn only) sequence that returns an edge piece to its starting location without flipping its colors
