Proposed: 2010
Alt Names: SAM (Single Alg Method),
1234 method
Variants: 8355, MirIS, Y-Move Method, Less is More
No. Steps: 7
No. Algs: 1
Avg Moves: 100+
Purpose(s):


Sexy Method is a variant of the 8355 Method specifically designed for ease of learning, using a single algorithm: the sexy move.

Steps

  • Intuitively solve the Cross
  • Intuitively solve 3 of the E-slice edges, leaving a keyhole.
  • Use the sexy move to solve the corresponding 3 D-layer corners by passing them from the U-layer through the keyhole.
  • Intuitively solve 3 U-layer edges.
  • Solve the last 2 edges, using intuition or algorithms.
  • Turn the cube over.
  • Solve 3 more corners with the sexy move as before. To avoid confusion, leave the corner under the keyhole unsolved.
  • Continue sexy moves as necessary until the cube is either solved, or is solved with the exception that two corners are misoriented.
  • If two corners are misoriented, rotate the cube to put those corners at DF. Solve them with the sexy move as before.
