Vandenbergh method

Vandenbergh method Information about the method Proposer: Lars Vandenbergh Proposed: 2003 Alt Names: VDB, Lars method No. Steps: 6 No. Algs: 10 - 186 Slash Counts: - 41 Purpose(s): Speedsolving

Vandenbergh is the most commonly used Square-1 method and has been used to set most of the Square-1 world records.

Description of method

1. Turn the puzzle into a cube shape
2. Bring the corners to the correct layers
3. Bring edges to the correct layers
4. Permute corners within their layers
5. Permute edges within the layers
6. Solve parity

Step 6 can be combined with either step 1, 4 or 5, where parity cases are included either in cubeshape (step 1), corner permutation (step 4), or edge permutation (step 5).
