Explanation of the formulas.
1. Method 1 is based on the algorithm that swap 2x2 corners, surrounded by 4 moves (in orange) to properly position the 4 corners to exchange, followed by an 8 move algorithm to exchange centers.
2. Method 2 is based on the L pattern algorithm, followed by a modified L pattern algorithm, and merged with the 4 center swap algorithm.
3. Method 3 is based on the SAW algorithm merged with the 4 center swap algorithm.
4. Method 4 is also based on the SAW algorithm, but where the middle slice is rotated first, in order for the center of two of the THREEs to be shifted to a different face. That made the most efficient algorithm to do the dice.
