8355 : Rubik's cube solving in short.
It's a solving system without an algo, but not necessarily the fasted solving method. Easiest to remember, should I say.
|| The "8" from 8355
Match 1 side, but 8 pieces (instead of all 9)
- Solve 4 edges first to build the cross on that side.
We shall call the last unmatched corner the "keyhole"
|| The "3" from 8355
Match 2nd layer 3 edges (instead of all 4)
- Movement is [ R T R' ] done, when you hold the 8 sides matched down.
With this turn, the corner in bottom layer will get displaced. So make sure the keyhole is always there, therefore it doesn't matter.
|| The "5" from 8355
Match remaining 5 edges.
- Match 3 edges on top layer. Turn is [ R For the remaining two edges :
- Solved automatically? Done.
|| The last "5" in 8355
Match remaining 5 corners. 4 on top and the keyhole in the bottom.
The turn is [ D R' D' R ]
- This one will displace other blocks, but don't worry. Make this turn 6 times and other blocks will be in place. You can turn the top after each move within these 6 times.
- Every time make sure you turn the top to place the right corner in place. And then apply the turn two times to twist it.
- The top layer might get fully solved before you apply the turn 6 times to restore the other pieces. In that case run it 6 times regardless, which will restore the cube but will twist two corners again. Then turn the cube to put the two unmatched corners on top and apply the turn corresponding to any bottom corner. At six turns all three will be matched. But you need to notice the top and turn to the other corner as soon as one is solved.
- You don't need to count the turn for 6 times. Just check if the other edges are in place and can understand at any time.
Done.
