5×5x5 Edges

Posted on December 18th, 2007 in Uncategorized by exocorsair

Definitions:
Tredge - the three pieces between any two corners
Working group - the current tredge being fixed
Ring - the M or E ring, whichever you are working with
Wing - a piece in a tredge that is not the middle edge
Semi-pair - a wing and edge correctly in the tredge
Pseudo-semi-pair - a wing incorrectly paired with its edge

Got it? Okay.

_________________________

Pairing concept: Get three pieces of a complete tredge in the working ring, and pair. Repeat for 10 edges, solve the last two in one algorithm. Solve one tredge at a time, using no more than eight moves per edge.

Strategies (flip as necessary):
1. If two wings are in the ring, find the edge
2. If a semi-pair is in the ring, find the remaining wing
2a. If a semi-pair is in not the ring and the remaining wing is, insert the semi-pair
3. If a pseudo-semi-pair is in the ring, find the remaining wing
4. If two pieces are in the ring, find the remaining piece
