Snyder Method 2

My second cube solving method, used to stun an 800-1000 person audience at the 1982 Chicago Cube-A-Thon with a time of 11.5 seconds, less than one half the official world record.

Introduction

The object is to start with block building for the F2L, then solve the last layer in 2 algorithms. Here are the stages...

Stages

  1. First solve all F2L except one CE pair using block building techniques. You may start with a 2x2x2 with or without cross, or a 2x2x3 with or without cross, or a 1x2x3. Then place the remaining pieces 2-3 at a time in any order.
  2. Then place the final CE and one LLE simultaneously (any LLE will do).
  3. Then simultaneously position and orient the other 3 LLE plus 1 LLC (any LLC will do). Alternatively, LL direct solve algs may be used to improve mathematical balance and to eliminate the final stage.
  4. Then simultaneously position and orient the L3C (unless eliminated in stage 3).
The full Snyder Method 2, including algorithms, will be made available in book form in a few months. Click the shop button for advanced purchase information.
