Charles Doan's Method

Charles Doan’s Method

This method consists of blockbuilding, as well as techniques from Roice Nelson’s method to solve the last few pieces. The method was intended for a low move count, as well as simply to serve as a unique method to solve the 4 dimensional Rubik’s Cube. Using this method as a beginner is strongly advised against. There will be complex concepts that will be very difficult to grasp, therefore it is advised that this method only be utilized by individuals who have relatively proficient experience for the 3^4 cube. This method will be making use of the notation established by Raymond Zhao.

Prerequisites

1. To know how to solve the 4D Rubik’s Cube using Roice Nelson’s method.
2. To be proficient at blockbuilding on a normal Rubik’s Cube.
3. To have adequate experience for the 4D Rubik’s Cube.

Steps

1. Solve a 2*2*2*2 cube.
2. Expand the block to a 2*2*3*2.
3. Create a full or semi-F2L on the inner face.
4. Solve the First 2 Layers with or without missing 4-coloreds.
5. Solve the remaining pieces using Roice Nelson’s piece-by-piece method or Raymond Zhao’s OLL/PLL approach.
