Solving the Professor's Cube

Solving a Professor's Cube is done differently to a normal Rubik's Cube (3x3x3), as it is not done layer by layer. Instead, steps are taken to enable the normal Rubik's Cube method to solve the cube. It is for this reason that you, dear reader, should not attempt to learn the method to solve a Professor's Cube without being able to solve a Rubik's Cube. The method you employ to do this and the speed you can achieve with it are irrelevant, as long as you are able to do it. If you really feel like it, go ahead and learn the method for the Professor’s Cube, but you will end up having to learn the Rubik’s Method anyway, so don’t. If you don’t already know how to do the Rubik’s Cube, click here. It also helps to be able to do a Rubik's Revenge, as some of the methods are similar. However, I shall write this guide under the assumption you don't know, so don't worry.

Right, let’s get on with it. First thing to do is to complete the 3x3 centers on each face, like such:
