Brings the cubie OYG to its correct position: lub However, it will also move the cubies Red-Yellow-Green and Yellow-Green from their correct positions.

3) Restore OW to its original positions: leb
4) The cubie OG now is in its correct position.

(Please note that in both cases the rotations follows the same pattern.)

The sequence above is the 'Sledgehammer': the algorithm used in this tutorial.

There are many other possible solutions. The advantages of this approach are:
