Roux

Invented by Gilles Roux, Roux is another method other than CFOP that can get you solve
times of under 10seconds. Roux is a lesser popular than CFOP but may be more simple
than CFOP. This method is also used alot for one handed solving as it uses lesser moves
than CFOP.

The first step in roux is to build a 1x2x3 block one opposite sides of the cube, as shown below.

After the two blocks, orientate all the top corners such that the top color is
facing up for the corners.

Next, permutate the corners such that the corners are solve in their respective positions

Top corners orentiated
Top corners orentiated
Top corners permutated

Final step is solve the edges using M moves(moving the middle pieces) and U moves(Upper pieces)
