To: Dan Hoey at CMU-10A cc: cube-lovers at MIT-MC In-Reply-To: Your message of 11-Jun-81 0023-PDT It is simpler in actually manipulating the cube to avoid moves that use the back; in particular, the FFBB slice move is a difficult one to actually do. So I would recommend BUB' and BU'B' at the ends of a RRLL slice. In addition, if you define X = RL' (or R'L) followed by an entire cube rotation (ie, move the slice and allow the orientation to change - turn the ham, not the bread ) then the sequence becomes: BUB' (UUXX)**2 BU'B'. ---- Stan -------
