Overview

What is it

The Fridrich Method is a variation on the layer-by-layer method that relies more heavily on algorithms to make the solve faster.

Why

In an attempt to improve my cube time to be faster than 1 minute (my current plateau using the beginner's method, a.k.a. the Layer Method), I am trying to learn the Fridrich Method.

Solution Steps

The Fridrich Method relies more heavily on algorithms to make the solve faster. The steps are similar to the layer-by-layer method, but with some differences. The steps:

1. Form the white cross on the bottom

2. Combine the 4 corner/edge pairs to simultaneously solve the first and second layers

3. Apply OLL (orient last layer) algorithms

4. Apply PLL (permute last layer) algorithms
