letter by itself (e.g. F) means turn that face 90 degrees clockwise with respect to the center of the cube. A letter with an apostrophe (F') denotes a 90 degree counter-clockwise turn. A letter followed by the …
Holding Your Cube: With the COMPLETED WHITE LAYER on the BOTTOM, now you have to solve the middle layer, which means positioning the edge pieces' in the correct place.
Our goal is to introduce some mathematical ideas with which one can solve Rubik’s cube (and other similar puzzles such as larger cubes and other shapes), not so fast, but understanding each step.
Hold the cube in the same position all the time! (silly, but it's all to easy to change the position of your cube as you start to rotate the different planes). Now you have the top of the cube as all one colour! …
But now what? After you’ve solved the cube once, there are still a lot of fun things to do! Memorize the algorithms! (We’ve put them all on the last slide so you can take a look when you go home) Practice! …
CORRECTLY ALIGN TWO CORNERS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR CUBE AS SHOWN, AND THEN EXECUTE THE ALGORITHM SHOWN. IF THERE ARE INITIALLY NO MATCHING CORNERS, …
Based on solutions by Shelley Chang and Tyson Mao. Place four edges with white around the yellow center. Move four white edges onto the white side. Solve each petal by aligning it and placing it. …
