Somewhere I have Minh Thai's book on solving the cube as well as Jim G.
Norse's book. Thai's notation was pictoral; however Norse's was based on
(F)ront, (P)osterior, (L)eft, (R)ight, (T)op and (B)ottom. I cannot recall
how he distinguished a clockwise rotation from a counterclockwise one. I
would use uppercase for clockwise and lowercase for counterclockwise.
If you're wondering how Jim described a slice move, he didn't: he made it
LR or TB.
