Abbreviation: Cube FA3EA3
Commonly Known As: Nothing

Piece Counts

Name	Qty	Colors	Orient.	Perm.	Orbits
Corner	8	3	3, Fixed	Odd	None
Edge	12	2	2	None	None
Face	24	1	None	Odd	None
Center	6	1	None	None	None

Move Types

Type	Layer	Period	Pieces Affected	Total Parity
Face	1	4	1 corner 4-cyc, 1 edge 4-cyc, 3 face 4-cyc	Odd
Edge	1	2	1 edge flip, 1 corner swap, 2 face swaps	Odd

Suggested Solving Orders

Edge Fixing Method
1. Place edges
2. Solve corners, orient some edges
3. Finish orienting edges
4. Solve faces as on Cube FA2EA2

Important Issues and Notes
An attempt to solve corners, then edges can result in a parity because edge moves are an odd permutation of corners and no permutation of edges, this can manifest itself as solved corners and an odd permutation of edges.

Useful Algorithms
In step 1, three cycle edges: r+ U2 r- U2
In step 2, twist two corners: U+ UF FR UF U- FR
In step 3, flip two edges: (UF UR) x 3
In step 4, three cycle centers: (UR FR UF FR) x 2
