memorize any algs for the bottom layer

Getting the Square-1 into a Cube

Notation

Step I: Get the puzzle into 3 distinct layers


Step II: Fill one layer with 6 large wedges
Step III: Transform the puzzle into a cube
Step IV: Orient Corners then Orient Edges
Step V: Permute Corners then Orient Edges
Step VI: Fix Parity and do Special Moves
