Just looking for some feedback really. Are the instructions easy enough to follow?

Cheers

I think you could show the moves being done in a slideshow (some example moves on how to make the cross, put the edges in for the second layer, etc.)
But it's a good beginners method.

You should call this the sexy method

Cheers, did you click on the cubes for examples? I'm worried a slideshow will be a lot of work

Good choice ... OK

You might want to explain what to do during the "3x more corners" step when the corner in the bottom layer is solved

Turn the top face so that the unsolved position is in the top-front. Do the sexy move once. Now solve the same way as before and the final edges will fall into place.

Somewhy I have a problem on how to do it.. WTF! I did it twice and at first I got the same case and then I got the flipped case.

Done

That is a very good point sir! Tutorial updated...

Sweet, I just sent the link to a co-worker that is going to try to learn to solve for the first time over the long weekend. You rock.

 

[InfernoTowel]

This wins the internet.

I like how official-soundingly you say "sexy move".

 

[tfray94]

i'm confused...when i do the final two edges, the permutation never comes out right.

 

[Cride5]

Cheers for the good feedback guys. I'll be interested to know how your colleague gets on brunson

im confused...when i do the final two edges, the permutation never comes out right.

Which case are you looking at?

 

[tfray94]

all of them

 

[Cride5]

all of them

OK, so before you move onto the 2-final edges phase, are you sure that at least three top layer edges are solved (ie. permuted correctly)?

 

[uberCuber]

am i missing something because this looks exactly like the 8355 method to me..

 

[Cride5]

It's similar yes, but with differences. Did you read the description at the top of the page?

 

[uberCuber]

lolreading

sorry can you point out the differences for me?

 

[Cride5]

(1) E-slice edges are placed before D-layer corners.
(2) Placement of the final 5 corners is broken down into 3+2 with only sexy move used to solve the final two.
