CFOP (Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL, pronounced C-F-O-P or C-fop) is a 3x3 speedsolving method proposed by several cubers around 1981. It is also known as the Fridrich Method after its popularizer, Jessica Fridrich. In part due to Fridrich's publication of the method on her website in 1995, CFOP has been the most dominant 3x3 speedcubing method since around 2000, with it and its variants used by the ...
Like in the popular 3x3x3 method CFOP, the solver starts by solving all edges of one side and then finishing the first two layers by creating and inserting pairs. As five edges need to be solved on the Megaminx compared to only four on 3x3x3, CFOP's Cross step is referred to as the "Star" on Megaminx because of the star-like shape. After that, the solver connects a corner of the first layer ...
ZB averages fewer moves than CFOP and reaches the all last layer edges oriented state without requiring the use of edge control. Unfortunately, because this method has a total of 300 algorithms or 795 total cases, it would take a very long time to learn the entire method. The ergonomics of the ZBLS algorithms are also mostly unknown. Very few people have ever put full ZB into practice so it is ...
It is a very easy scramble. Once scrambled, if you hold it yellow top blue front, you can see a very easy white layer with a pair (I use CFOP). Holding it in that orientation, if you do the moves L B R' F R2 U R' D F' then you get the cross plus the free Orange-Blue pair. Then, the Red-Blue pair gets created that you can cancel in inserting while doing the first few moves. Then, the Orange ...
