is a method of solving a 3
\begin_inset Formula $\times$
\end_inset
3 Rubik's cube quickly.
It is described by it's creator as
\emph on
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
A speed-cubing technique for experienced cubers.
Other cubers may use a similar approach, because there's nothing very special
about it.
When I found it, I decided to give it a chance because you can make it
very efficient using a limited set of formulæ.

Description
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The Roux method is a 3
\begin_inset Formula $\times$
\end_inset
3 speedsolving method invented by
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "Gilles Roux"
target "http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Gilles_Roux"
\end_inset
.
Roux works with block building, similar to
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "Petrus"
target "http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Petrus"
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "Waterman"
target "http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Waterman_method"
\end_inset
.
Roux has fewer algorithms to memorize than CFOP, as all but the third step
are done intuitively, instead of by following a large, predefined set of
algorithms.

Advantages of Roux:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Roux is very move efficient
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Few algorithms to memorize
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Does not require the user to rotate the entire puzzle.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Most of a Roux solve is `intuitive,' meaning the solver figures out the
right move for the situation on the fly.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section*
Disadvantages of Roux:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Not as many algorithms, so good lookahead is required for speed
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Takes a lot of learning how the 3
\begin_inset Formula $\times$
\end_inset
3 moves and works when starting out.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Block building takes time to learn.

Cubies

Cubies are colored using nonstandard colors in an attempt to be color agnostic.
Some colors vary depending on how `interested' we are in the piece.
