Suggested Solving Orders
Face First
(Primitive)
1. Solve one face
2. Opportunistically solve as much as easily possible
3. Solve rest of pieces with pure algorithms
Important Issues and Notes
This puzzle does not present any additional challenges than the
ED2 puzzle, therefore no alteration in method is necessary. However,
efficiency may be improved with use of vertex twists.
Useful Algorithms
In step
3, three cycle triangles: ((UR FL UR BR) x 2 (UR BR UR FR) x 2) x 2
In step 3, swap two pairs of triangles: (UL UB UL UB UF UB UF UR UF) UR (UF UR UF UB UF UB UL UB UL)
