The 3x3x3 Example Solve Thread

[Randomno]

First off, what is TICT? Looked it up, but didn't find it.

You didn't search very well then.

On my phone and CBA to find and link it.

Well, I tried looking on the wiki, and all I found was a reference to it on the "Scrambled state" page, it as a next step. It was a red link, though.

And when I googled "TICT rubik's cube method", all I found was this: http://www.aol.com/article/2014/12/16/magician-uses-rubiks-cube-trick-to-get-out-of-ticket/21117141/

I created [WIKI]TICT[/WIKI] for you on the wiki.

I agree with him, let me google that for you.

I searched as much as I thought was necessary! ...eh, whatever, now I know what it is. :tu

Sorry for being rude (was I ?). That wasn't my intention. That is because of my english which is pretty bad (I'm learning it at shool...).

You weren't really rude, but I literally googled "tict rubik's cube method" and I didn't really find anything about it. But now I know what it is (and why the solution had a whole bunch of similar triggers...). No problem, really

anyway, your scramble:

Next : B' D' L' F R F B' R U' F D2 F' D' F R' F2 B D' B D' R U' L2 R' B2

R' U' // green-white-orange 2x2x1 block
F' R B D' F' U' F // expand to 2x2x3...almost (twisting that corner took WAY too many moves, so I just left it like this and fixed it later)
D B D R' B' R B2 D' L B' L' // blue-white-orange 2x2x1 block
D' B' L B L2 D' L B // join blocks + orient edges
D2 B' F D B D' F D' B2 D F2 D' B2 // solve all but 3 corners
R F R' B R F' R' B' // L3C

Pathetic solution, R' U' F' R B D' F' U' F D B D R' B' R B2 D' L B' L' D' B' L B L2 D' L B D2 B' F D B D' F D' B2 D F2 D' B2 R F R' B R F' R' B' (49 HTM). Worst I've had in a while

For some reason Google treats "tict" as the word "ticket". A bunch of news articles about Steven Brundage come up.
