<p>138.67.56.97: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Roux Method''' was invented by [[Gilles Roux]]. Unlike [[Fridrich]] and [[Petrus]], the inventor of this method has done a sub-15 second average (of 5) with it in competition. <br /> <br /> ==The Steps==<br /> <br /> 1. Build a 1x2x3 block anywhere on the cube.<br /> <br /> 2. Build a second 1x2x3 block opposite of the first 1x2x3 block, without disrupting the first 1x2x3 block. After this step, there should be two 1x2x3 blocks: one on the lower left side, and one lower right side, leaving the U slice and M slice free to move.<br /> <br /> 3. Simultaneously [[orient]] and [[permute]] the remaining 4 corners on the top layer (U-slice). You can use [[CMLL]] or [[COLL]] to do this.<br /> <br /> 4. [[Orient]] the 6 remaining edges (UF, UB, UF, UR, DF, DB need to be oriented correctly).<br /> <br /> 5. Solve the left and right layer edges. After this step, both the left and right side layers should be complete.<br /> <br /> 6. Solve the centers and edges in the M slice.<br /> <br /> ==Pros==<br /> <br /> Like the Petrus method, the Roux method uses fewer moves than the popular Fridrich method. It is also more intuitive and requires fewer algorithms. <br /> <br /> ==Cons==<br /> <br /> Block building can be difficult for a beginner to get used to. The reliance on r and M moves may also be difficult for some people, so much so that cubers who have trouble with M turns should probably not use this as their main method.<br /> <br /> ==Where to learn the Roux Method==<br /> <br /> * [http://grrroux.free.fr/method/Intro.html Gilles Roux's tutorial]</div>
