After the first pairs

This step is the biggest step and are actually 4 steps but done in the same way. The idea is to extend solved parts with 2 more edges. Those edges create new slots just like the star did. I ALWAYS do this with the same colours in the same order, but I don't do every pair in a set order.

Extend the green face As you can see the first sub-step is already done in this picture. The 2 green edges are solved and create 3 new slots (marked by the dark grey). Look ahead is key. Of course you solve the 3 slots after you did the 2 edges.



Extend the light-blue face by only one edge. The pink face is on the right of the previous one. Again lookahead is very important. Try to get used to solving these minx slots, it's key.



Extend the brown face by only solving the brown/light-green edge. This time I show what the minx looks like after you done the slots too. Again try to get used to solving these slots with brown this time.



Solve the 2nd last face this step is build up in 2 sub-steps. First make the triplet as shown in the picture. This is very free-style it doesn't really matter how you do this as long as you do it fast. After you made the triplet you fill up the last 2 slots (in dark grey again) and this step is done!

Onto the last step! The last layer
