I was sitting in church today bored, and so i got out my cube and started playing with it, attempting to find diffrent ways to build the second 1x2x3 block for the roux method.

so what i want to ask, is how many diffrent ways can you create a 1x2x3 block.

not a number but how you actually put together the pieces that create the block.

If you would please break it up into substeps as well, Ill do an example of the way I have been playing around with:

First you pair up the FDR and the BDR corners so that the R side color is matching, then using the M and U slice you place the FR or BR edge into the UR do an R2 then place the other edge into the UR spot, all the while you keep the DR edge in the M layer.
then you do R or R' to position the 1x1x3 block backwards to its solved position.

next you pair the DR edge in the M layer with the two corners in the U layer, and place the newly created 1x1x3 block over the first block and do an R2

ill put an example solve tomorrow.

thanks for everyones help in advance.
 
psh, you shouldn't be doing that in church >:O

Agreed. Why even go?

Im forced to, also even if i wasnt id still play with it, i concentrate better that way.

before the cube, i had straight C's now i have A's except the class i couldnt play with it in (math ironically enough) and got a B

Uhm, it's pretty intuitive. There are "tricks" but it's better, in my opinion, for you to find them out on your own.

I know its intuitive, however i want to see how others piece together blocks, because I cant seem to get my 2B below 6 seconds on average, and i figure seeing how other people build them would help...

hmm wait, i have an F2B thread...

A little help. I prefer the second link myself.
