http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/blindfoldsolving-rubiks-cube/message/933 Ok, so here's my new method for permuting 3x3 edges, I call it "M2 method". It's very simple, fast, and 100% intuitive so you don't need to learn a single alg for it.
Of course it's a 2-cycle method, one piece getting solved each time. The piece to be solved is at FD. Since I can't just swap two pieces, I need to have some side effect. Here it is swapping (FU,BD)+(U,D)+(F,B) . Note FU and BD are solved relative to the M centers.
Here's an example solve, using scramble #28 from post #754 (http: //tinyurl.com/lytqj). It's ready to be pasted into this page: http://thearufam.brinkster.net/cube/wrapplet.asp
-------------------- start -------------------- [Scramble] U2 D2 L' U D2 R2 L2 D R D' B2 U D' F2 R2 U' F2 R2 B2
[solve LU] (L U' L' U) M2 (U' L U L') [solve LD] (U' L2 U) M2 (U' L2 U) [solve RF] (U R U') M2 (U R' U') [solve RU] (R' U R U') M2 (U R' U' R) [solve BD] M U2 M U2 [solve LF] (U' L' U) M2 (U' L U) [solve RD] (U R2 U') M2 (U R2 U') [solve FU] M U2 M U2 [solve RB] (U R' U') M2 (U R U') [solve LB] (U' L U) M2 (U' L' U) --------------------- end ---------------------
For M2 I use Joel's finger trick, i.e. L (l' M'), using my left ring finger to pull the M'. My left middle finger holds the B stickers of LB+LBD, so my ring finger is free for the M' and my index finger is free for U'.
Oh, and actually it was a bad choice to have BU already solved. It's the easiest to solve, it looks like: [solve BU] M2
So, how do you like it?
Cheers! Stefan
