Sandwich Method

Sandwich method Information about the method Proposer(s): rachmaninovian Proposed: unknown Alt Names: none Variants: none No. Steps: 8 No. Algs: unknown Avg Moves: 120-155 Purpose(s): Speedsolving

Cage variation based on Denny Dedmore's solution. Although the method was originally designed for big cubes, it can also be used to solve the 3x3.

Steps:

1. First 2 centers
   
2. Corners (any method)
   
3. 3 dedges on L after a z rotation
   
4. z2 rotation, 4 dedges on current L face
   
5. Last dedge of the outside layers
   
6. Bottom 2 dedges (on M)
   
7. Last 2 dedges (on M)
   
8. Last 4 centers
   

Heavy center control at times during steps 6 and 7 are used (using different algorithms or other tricks), and rachmaninovian currently uses a centers system that produces a ~4 look average.
