It is rather long too. Briefly, he first puts the U edges in place and then the U corners. One face is a single color now. He turns over the cube so that it is on the bottom and puts the middle layer edges correcty in place and then makes the U edges into an even permutation. Then he puts the U edges in place and then the U corners. Finally he orients the U corners. And supposedly it is solved at that point. I haven't had much luck with the method though. He claims that this method takes less then 200 moves. -------
