[Help Thread] Squan help

I am having trouble making a 6-pointed star on Squan. Is there anyway to do it faster than intuitive?

Maybe you should try putting the corners in like on a 3x3, or watch tingmans vid

You mean to put all edges on top and all corners on bottom?

All edges + 2 corners at a side

The way I originally learned to do CS on squan was by connecting all 8 edges in a row, then using an alg (>scallop/scallop>barrel/barrel>kite/kite>square/square).
I used cube master's tutorial: this CS method is a little less efficient than the one you're using (because you only reduce to one star case and not a potential 5), but you might want to try it.
To get any faster, you need to have a good understanding of what certain slices do to the shape of the puzzle, so if you're struggling with making star, I would suggest working on that first before moving on to more efficient methods (like reducing to scallop/kite or scallop/scallop).
