| * I. 1st 1x2x3 block * II. 2nd 1x2x3 block, minus 1 corner/edge pair * III. Pair up and insert final corner edge pair, affecting orientation of remaining edges If DF AND DB are oriented, use VHF2L alg to insert pair and orient LL edges If DF OR DB oriented incorrectly, use VHF2L alg to insert pair and insure 3 incorrect LL edges If DF AND DB oriented incorrectly, use special VHF2L alg to insert pair and orient all edges * IV. Solve U corners using COLL * V. Finish final 6 edges (and 4 centers) If DB OR DF placed correctly, use L5E alg If DB AND DF placed correctly, use PELL alg If UR AND UL placed correctly, use PME alg |

| Overview: This method is really just a specialized hybrid of the Roux method and Vandenbergh-Harris method. From the former come the ideas of two opposite 1x2x3's, a free M slice, a corner orientation and permutation step, and the orientation and permutation of the final 6 edges and 4 centers. From the VH method, we've taken two key ideas: Using a simple earlier step to also accomplish useful constrictions to later steps, and the actual process of using the final corner/edge pair to orient the remaining 6 edges, or transform them into the easiest possible case to solve. Following from the principle of using simple steps to accomplish useful restrictions, in most cases, we also place the DB edge while orienting edges, drastically reducing the number of possible cases to end with, and greatly improving recognition for them. The pages that follow deal with each specific substep, explaining in detail how to perform them, offering tips, and providing all of the algorithms necessary. The final page is statistics about the method, a discussion of the method's theory and inherent pros and cons, and some comparisons to various other methods. Enjoy, and, of course, happy cubing. |
