I was hoping that if I posted what I've come up with, that someone might have an easier method. Who knows? Maybe I've just put a new spin on an old solution to this move, or re-discovered an existing pattern. Anyhow, I'd love to get some feedback on it. Here's what I've got: * All moves are done with the orange side facing you, yellow on the left. * T = Top Slice [white in this case] * R = Right-Hand Slice [blue] * B = Bottom Slice [green] * L = Left-Hand Slice [yellow] * CW = Clock Wise * CCW = Counter Clock Wise * CW and CCW moves are done from the perspective of tilting the cube and looking at the side in question. * This series of moves will swap the two bottom corner pieces on the blue side. MOVES [From a perfect cube - orange on front] ***** T [1/8 CW], R [1/2], B [1/4 CCW], T [1/2], R [1/2], B [1/4 CW], T [1/2], R [1/2], B [1/4 CCW], T [1/2], R [1/2], B [1/4 CCW], T [1/4 CW], L [1/2], T [1/4 CW], L [1/2], T [1/8 CW], B [1/2] Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions. Now that I have my own, I won't mind borrowing a simpler one! Dave
