Tutorial

This tutorial introduces the'Workbench'

---

If you prefer an hands-on approach cubeiteasy.com provides a solver and a quick explanation of the key concepts

The solver is configurable and explains step by step how to solve a real configuration.

Basics

- Provides an interpretation 'rotation centric' of the action needed to move a cubie while keeping the side effect under control.

Starts giving the general idea then focuses on:

• Corners: how the 'Sledgehammer affects corners';
• Edges: how the 'Sledgehammer affects edges';

---

Sledgehammer

- Provides an interpretation 'algorithm centric' of the same set of rotations analizing the 'Sledgehammer' as an entity of its own.

Starts giving the general idea then focuses on the definitions and then main properties:

• Workbench: the region that collects all the side effects.
• Swap: The way a 'Sledgehammer' moves corners inside the 'workbench'.
• Rotations: The way a 'Sledgehammer' moves edges inside the 'workbench'.
• Arrows: visualise how cubies change position with the 'Sledgehammer'.
• Cycle: the 'Sledgehammer' produces the same effects every 6 times.
• Reverse: each 'Sledgehammer' has another that cancels its effects.
• Alternatives: The same 'workbench' has six different 'Sledgehammers'.

The 'Workbench'

- The section starts descibing the 'stategy' (the order) cubies are placed. This method does not constraints to follow a particular. But the described, makes the method even simplier. Then, the following pages analizes all the important steps:

• Overview: Gives a panoramic view of the 'Workbench' method.
• Positioning: Explains how to positioning cubies.
• Orienting: Explains how to orienting cubies.
• Options: Shows there are many different ways to get the same result.
• The Trap: Explains the 'Workbench' way to cope with the last 2 edges swapped (The trap).
• Orientate edges: Shows how to change orientation of two edges.
• Solid rotation: Shows how to solve a particular edges permutation (rotation).
• 3 out of 5: Shows how to positionate the first 3 out of 5 remaining corners.
• Last 2 corners: Shows how to positionate the last 2 corners.

Extras

- The section proposes some cases non necessarly committed with the 'Sledgehammer':

• The Trap: Explains a no 'Sledgehammer' way to cope with the last 2 edges swapped.
• The Trap 6: Another no 'Sledgehammer' way to cope with the last 2 edges swapped.
• Flat orientation: Powerfull move to change orientation to cubies on a layer.
• Orientate edges: A no 'Sledgehammer' way to change orientation of two edges.
• Facebook SH: way to rotate 3 corners found on facebook.
• 'Super Jolly': Evolution of method 'Jolly' to move only edges or corners.
• Sexy move: Comaprison between 'Sledgehammer' and the 'Sexy move'.
