Hi, I’m back after a very long hiatus from the forum. I’m thinking of posting pictures of my cube collection
So, I’m very familiar with the reduction method, it’s my default for 4x4 and up. But I thought of solving my 5x5, which turns much more smoothly than my smaller cubes, using a LBL(layer by layer) method. I could figure out the first layer intuitively, but now, I’m in the sea of commutators that is the middle 3 layers. I figured that I would be doing something like this for each layer:

- Center pieces of the layer if I don’t have it already
- Inner edge pieces of the layer
- Outer edge pieces of the layer
