I was working through the beginners methods in the wiki and am struggling to grasp/understand steps 4 and 5 of the Y Method which states:- Step 4: Adjust Swap Count of Remaining 5 Edges We would like to solve the remaining edges with Y-moves in a standard prepare, Y, restore conjugate...

Having reached the point where I am happy with solving with basic methods such as LBL an 8355, what would be a good introduction method to intermediate solving?

I had not heard of Sledgehammer or Hedgeslammer until now - nice how we can all learn together

You can put the 3 corners in the first layer if you so choose....that would make it almost an 8355 solution using Y-Moves (FR'F'R) to solve the last 5 corners....8355Y perhaps!!!! I look forward to studying your DSEF method Edit:- I Tried your DSEF - a very nice guide - Interestingly, I...

Just wondering if anyone has a system or tips on solving the yellow cross when the 4 yellow cubies are arranged randomly with the middle layer complete...I tried for 4 hours today to come up with one and was unsuccessful. I know it can be done easily with algorithms but I'm looking for a...

started with Beginners LBL - but have been exploring Y-move, Phillip Marshall, Sexy Method, Less Is More and MIRIS - borrowing the best bits to find a solution that I can show to others

Thank you for your quick an informative reply - I see what the alg does now and have worked out how to use it correctly with U rotations to set up the yellow cross solve Edit:- still struggling with the alg on some solves....seems building the yellow cross is easier just by intuitive solving...

The Philip Marshall Method uses U' R U R' to align the yellow cross. I have found that sometime the cross will align with just four repeats of the U' R U R' Alg. and sometimes I need to keep repeating the Alg. - but it does solve the yellow cross eventually. My question is, Am I doing something...

Hi All, Just joined, My name is Matt and I'm from Australia. Just recently got back into Cubing after a LONG time. The last time I even touched a Rubik's Cube was back in the 1980's when they were first released in this country (never managed to solve it back then - but could get the first two...
