Square-1 notation

Notation refers to the description of what symbols indicate what moves to apply on a twisty puzzle.

This is the official notation of the square-1 created by Jaap Scherphuis.

(x,y) x indicates how many degrees you should twist the top-layer(x*30°) and y indicates how many degrees you should twist the bottom-layer(z*30°).

/ Tells to twist the right side of the puzzle 180 degrees.

Ex1: /(3,0)/(-3,-3)/(0,3)/

Ex2: (1,0)/(-1,-1)/(0,1)

In the first example all top- and bottom-layer twists are 90°(in this case one edge and one corner).

In the second example all top- and bottom-layer twists are 30°(one edge).

(3,0) could be for example 3 edges or 1 edge and 1 corner. (6,0) could for example be 6 edges or 3 corners or 2 corners and 2 edges and so on.
