A computer cube solving algorithm, based on reducing the cube to subgroups.
Steps
- Reduction to G₁ = <U,D,L,R,F2,B2>
- Reduction to G₂ = <U,D,L2,R2,F2,B2> (also known as Domino Reduction)
- placement of U/D edges in U/D faces
- Corner Orientation, and placement
- Reduction to G₃ = <U2,D2,L2,R2,F2,B2> (also known as Half Turn Reduction)
- Corners
- Edges
- Final Solve
Permutation of all pieces using only 180 degree faces turns
