The Lin method is a speedsolving/novelty method for the Square-1 puzzle. It was brought into common knowledge by a tutorial from Jbacboy and John Lewis's promotion of the method.
The steps
- 1. Turn the puzzle into a cubic shape.
- 2. Build the first two blocks.
- 2a. Build a 1x1x3 block on the bottom layer of the puzzle, either the left or the right side.
- 2b. Build a second block in the bottom layer, opposite the first one.
- 3. CP + DF (Corner permutation + DF edge)
- 3a. Insert one of the two remaining D edges.
- 3b. Insert the last one in DF (from UL) while simultaneously permuting the top layer corners. This step requires 6 algs, specified below. A two step approach, first inserting the edge and then permuting the corners, is possible. This approach requires around 2 algs, which are basic Vandenbergh algs.
- 4. EPLL (excluding corners)
CP + DF algs
