Josef's sequences should give you better results. Various ideas about the last 6 edges and 4 centers: - If you want to solve in less than 12 moves (using sequences mostly based on <M, U>), it's extremely difficult (impossible?). - With many methods you can average about 15 moves. - Josef wanted a 2-look method. In my opinion, it's not quite 2-look, because you need to position UL/UR first. - There's another possibility: Use standard corner-first strategy that inserts the last L/R-edge and orients M-edges, but without taking care of corners positions, and look where you are before the last M/M' move (you're in the middle of UL/UR insertion after orientation). - After orientation or with Josef's technique, instead of solving UL/UR, you can work with UF/UB. Mmmhh.. no. You could save 2 moves, but it makes recognition much more difficult. - With the orientation-first strategy (averaging about 14 moves), inspection does not take more than 2.3 microseconds. Very few things to learn, and you can solve very efficently >70% of cases. Add the standard corners-first technique, a few optimizations, and you reach 90%. Gilles. ------------------------ Yahoo!
