I have become pretty good at solving it with the layers method (90 seconds is my record so far.) My question is this : Is the method of solving the cube corners first and then sides any faster (once one becomes good at it) then solving it by layers? If so, could someone please reply with a description of that method. I don't know the names of any fancy moves, so if possible please use F B U D L R for the faces during specific moves and expain the other parts of the strategy clearly. I realize this is asking alot. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies! Corey Folkerts
