Are you ready to conquer the Rubik’s Cube with brute force? The Sledgehammer method is your weapon of choice, a technique that relies on a series of powerful moves to solve the cube in record time. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of the Sledgehammer method, empowering you to wield this technique like a master.
Understanding the Sledgehammer Method
The Sledgehammer method is a two-step solution:
1. Edge Pairing and Orientation: Pair and orient the edge pieces on the top and bottom faces.
2. Corner Placement and Rotation: Place and rotate the corner pieces on the top and bottom faces.
Step 1: Edge Pairing and Orientation
1. Create Edge Pairs
Hold the cube with the white face on top and the green face in front. Use the following sequence:
“`
R’ D R D’
“`
Repeat this sequence until all edge pieces on the top and bottom faces are paired.
2. Orient the Edges
Once the edges are paired, use the following sequence to orient them correctly:
“`
R U R’ U’ R’ F R2 U’ R’ U’ R U R’ F’
“`
Repeat this sequence for each edge until all edges are oriented.
Step 2: Corner Placement and Rotation
3. Place the Top Corner Pieces
Hold the cube with the white face on top and the green face in front. Use the following sequence:
“`
R U R’ U’ R U2 R’
“`
Repeat this sequence until all top corner pieces are placed correctly.
4. Rotate the Top Corner Pieces
Once the top corner pieces are placed, use the following sequence to rotate them correctly:
“`
R U R’ U’ R U2 R’ U R U’ R’ F R2 U’ R’ U’ R U R’ F’
“`
Repeat this sequence for each corner until all top corners are rotated correctly.
5. Place the Bottom Corner Pieces
Hold the cube with the white face on top and the orange face in front. Use the following sequence:
“`
L’ D L D’ L’ D2 L
“`
Repeat this sequence until all bottom corner pieces are placed correctly.
6. Rotate the Bottom Corner Pieces
Once the bottom corner pieces are placed, use the following sequence to rotate them correctly:
“`
L’ U L U’ L’ U2 L U L U’ L’ F L2 U’ L’ U’ L U L’ F’
“`
Repeat this sequence for each corner until all bottom corners are rotated correctly.
7. Solve the Yellow Face
With all corners placed and rotated correctly, the yellow face should be solved. If not, use the following sequence:
“`
R U R’ U’ R U2 R’
“`
Repeat this sequence until the yellow face is solved.
In a nutshell: Triumphant Rubik’s Cube Conquest
