Coall method
Information about the method
Proposer(s):
Proposed:
Alt Names: ww
Variants: Zb, Fridrich, Vh
No. Steps: 4
No. Algs: 63(unique)+21(pll)+27(f2ll w/o mirrors)= 111(all)
Avg Moves: est. 35-50
Purpose(s):

Coall(corner oreintation and last layer) is an experimental 3x3 method that is a variation of the zb method. that orients the corners when inserting the last f2l pair (Winter variation). Then solves edge orientation and pll in one step. Orienting the corners first rather than orienting edges(like in zb) has the advantage of using less algorithms(using only 111 total compared to zb's 300). It is unknown if and very doudtful if it has ever been used before.

To solve using Coall first solve cross and 3 f2l slots like in fridrich(or any way one wishes). Next make the last f2l pair and use the Winter variation to insert it to orient last layer corners. Finnaly solve eoll and pll in one algorithm.

Pros Uses a fairly large amount of algorithms(21 of which are pll algs).Almost as fast as zb using much less algorithms. Fair reconization.

Cons Has some bad algorithms and having to do another look when enserting F2l for Co in Winter variation.
