Sarah Intermediate Algorithms
Sarah's Intermediate is a skewb method for solvers who recently learned the beginner method and want to get faster. It is a great choice for cubers who don't want to put in a ton of effort, because there are only ten cases.
The steps for Sarah's Intermediate method are as follows: 1) Solve the first side. 2) Solve the opposite side. 3) Solve the centers.
The first and third steps are done the same way as in Sarah's Beginner method. Step 2 is done with some combination of sledgehammers (R' F R F') and hedgeslammers (F R' F' R). At most you will need 3 triggers.
Sarah Strong created this method, so the information on this page is credited to her.
