Hi Stefan,
Very interesting and highly original approach. I just did a couple
of solves and I really enjoyed using this approach.
One small question for step 3 (shooting non-yellow centers from U
into their proper home on u):
"Each shot is either (Rr)' F (Rr) or (Ll) F' (Ll)"
Why not (Rr) U' (Rr)'??? It is the same 'go and get' approach,
still only three moves, but the middle move is U instead of F
keeping the entire step in the (Ll), U, (Rr) gen category.
I like your combination move for adjacent pairs in step 3 especially
combined with the observation that diagonals will combine with any
intervening shot.
If stuck with a diagonal pair at the end it can also be quite
elegantly combined into:
(Rr) U' (Rr)' U (Ll)' U (Ll) [pieces in Ufl and Ubr]
or (Ll)' U (Ll) U' (Rr) U' (Rr)' [pieces in Ubl and Ufr]
Do you have any data on number of moves for your technique compared
the 'usual' approach (opp centers, any 3rd face, adjacent 4th,
simultanious adjacent 5th/6th)??
Interesting, original, and fun!
Thanks,
Rob
