The Advanced JQ method is a speedsolving method for the Square-1 puzzle. The fastest variant of JQ method.

Scrambled Square-1 >> CSP >> SFFB >> Full CPSB >> PELS >> Solved!


The Advanced JQ Method is a method to solve the Square-1.

Steps

Turn the puzzle into a cubic shape while solving the edge parity.
  • 2. SFFB (Second Forming First Block)
Build First Block while forming 2-1 or 1-2 Second Block Pair.
Recognize the case using 3 top face corners and execute it.
  • 4. PELS [36 + 4 cases]
Recognize the case by opposite edge pairs and 1 reference edge.
For example, White-Red edge and White-Orange edge is opposite edge pair.
Responding U and D face, reference edge is the edge which should be located on UF if U and D are adjoining face color, UR if not.
Execute the finisher responding middle and U block.

Pros

  • Because all steps relies on single matter (Edge, Corner), recognition can be easier.
  • 1/4 cases of Full CPSB are mirror/repositioned algorithms so you can remember the movement using only 12 cases.
  • Because the finisher of PELS involves half color faces, you can create SFFB with top color as well.
  • Low-count slices.

Cons

  • SFFB can be hard for beginners.
With figuration, you can achieve executing this around 4 slices in any situation.
  • Recognizing CSP takes time to get used to.
