Methods
The most common beginner method is a layer-by-layer solution, similar to solving a 3x3. Popular methods among speedcubers are Ortega or Guimond, which orient both layers separately and permute them together, CLL, which solves the cube in one algorithm after the first layer is complete, and EG, which extends CLL with additional algorithms to solve the cube in one algorithm after one face is oriented.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:
“If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself.... If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.”

—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“I think it is a wise course for laborers to unite to defend their interests.... I think the employer who declines to deal with organized labor and to recognize it as a proper element in the settlement of wage controversies is behind the times.... Of course, when organized labor permits itself to sympathize with violent methods or undue duress, it is not entitled to our sympathy.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
