   It is easy to solve the cube in a mechanical way, "layer by layer",   
   according to a memorized algorithm that has to deal with a relatively   
   small number of cases; not overwhelming the average intellect in any   
   way.   
      
   Under this approach, it can be tedious to begin completely from the   
   beginning, assembling a face. It is smarter to look for the most   
   complete face, and possibly work the cube randomly to obtain a better   
   one by chance.
