I know there's already a thread debating whether this should be an official event, but we should also have a thread to discuss methods, algs, etc. Cause this is a really fun puzzle and there seems to be plenty of interest right now.
It seems like everyone is using generally the same method, this is what I'm doing:
1. Solve one side/layer intuitively (white)
2. Solve an adjacent layer, three pieces (green)
3. Solve a layer adjacent to both the previous two layers, two pieces (purple). Usually done by creating a two-piece bar and inserting it
4. Continue step three in the same direction until one piece remains (yellow, blue layers)
5. Insert the final non-LL corner (red/pink/cream)
6. OLL (16 cases)
7. PLL (3 cases)
I've been using the same colors, but I can see some variation of color neutrality being viable, at least middle layer color neutrality. Also it seems really structured and I'm sure there's a better way to go about this, so maybe you guys solve differently or have some ideas
And here are my LL algs. I use the first alg in each list currently.
