Hello everybody!
I'm from Italy, and I am an absolute beginner with the Cube, and I'd like to refresh my basic knowledge after many years.
This forum is REALLY big, and I don't know where to post my question (I'm sorry for that), so I write it here: moderators can place it where it has to be:

Hi everybody.
In 1986 I was taught by a schoolmate how to solve Rubik's cube.
It was a pretty simple method, not fast (about 4/5 minutes) but reliable: it starts with the first layer, then the second and in the end the third.
A couple of years ago I received a cube as a gift for my birthday, and I tried to remember the way I used to solve it.
Altough I remembered how to do for the first two layers and the 4 corners (pieces with 3 colors) of the last one, I forgot how to proceed for the 4 last pieces (the 4 central edges, each one with 2 colors): the only thing I (think to) remember is that it should be a 8/16 moves sequences (it depends on how the pieces are), and that in some cases the sequence must be repeated twice.
I've been looking everywhere in order to find those moves, but whenever I find a "3-layer method", it operates differently: first the edges are placed in order, then the 4 corners (and the cube is done). In my case it was vice versa: I put in order the 4 corners then, WITHOUT CHANGING their position, I placed the last 4 edges correctly, and the cube was done.
Please, could somebody help me with that? Does anybody know that method?
A big thank, and a big CIAO from Italy!
