Important Issues and Notes
This puzzle is the dual of Cube FA5.

Useful Algorithms
In step 1, fix parity: u- (Ff+ Uu- Rr+ U+) x 4
In step 2, three cycle edge groups: F+ U+ F-
In step 3, three cycle face centers: (R+ U+ R-) D+ (R+ U- R-) D-
In step 4, three cycle face edges: (R+ u+ R-) D+ (R+ u- R-) D-
In step 4, three cycle face corners: (r+ u+ r-) D+ (r+ u- r-) D-
