Fail Method
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
Fail Method, (also Face By Face or just FBF), a method that solves the cube face by face. This method is very slow and inefficient (and difficult too), and definitely not recommended for speedcubing. First you complete one face using intuition (or trial and error, if you aren't familiar with the cube). Then, you try to do another one, in the same way. If you manage that, the next and last step is to do a third face. If you get that far, you will become a member of the exclusive "I once got three sides!" club. After three faces are completed more trial and error will only make the situation worse, so good luck!
Origin of the Method
Most noobs use this at first, but will eventually give up.
Variation
Bob Burton's method for the Pyraminx has a similar feel: solve a layer; if not solved, repeat. This does, however, usually solves the Pyraminx in a reasonable time.
