![]() ![]() It took a bit of work to figure out what the cube actually looks like, but try this. What You Need - A Rubik's cube - an Attentive mindset So in this tutorial i will show you a beginners method that I used on how to solve the Rubik's cube and maby later i might teach you an advance method on how to solve it, but you will need to know how to solve it with the beginners method first before you move onto the advanced method. It only took me a week to learn to solve it, but it wasn't like I was doing it for a week straight 24 hours a day, in fact i probably spent an hour a day max that's 7 hours max it took me to solve the Rubik's cube. I learn this method last Christmas when I was bored on Christmas break and wanted something to do. Some of you may be wondering why i wanted to learn to solve the Rubik's cube, well I am very big into math and I am Very good at memorizing things in fact I have an IQ of 120 but you don't need a high iq to learn how to solve the Rubik's cube. So how can you solve the cube without memorizing 43 quintillion different combinations? there are things called algorithms that are based on mathematical equations that get pieces to places without messing up the whole cube. some may think it is impossible to solve, even Erno Rubik didn't think there was a combination to there are 43,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that is 43 quintillion) possible combinations. We might need to twist (rotate) the upper face to match those two middle edge cubes, but nothing more than that.The Rubik's cube is the best selling toy in the U.S. The mathematical beauty of the earlier series of movements is that it ensures that at least two of the middle edge-cubes can be aligned correctly with the adjacent underlying face. Align the Cross With the Adjacent Face Colors Rotate F2 (forward 180º) to bring the white square into that UF position. Step 3 In step 3 we are going to permute both the top and bottom layers of our 2x2 at the same time. Turn the entire cube so that 'empty space' is located at UF (Upper face, next to Front face). Step 2 In step 2 we are going to orientate the top layer of our 2x2. Step 1 In step 1 we are going to solve the white face on the bottom layer of our 2x2. To get the fourth pattern of the stage, we need to repeat a sequential series of movements: Īnd, once done, we should have a royal-blue cross on this face. All images are for illustrational and educational purposes only. What it means is that we might get an invalid cross that has a mismatch of color with respect to the adjacent side faces. To start with, we won’t worry about how the cross aligns with respect to the rest of the four faces. Illustration 12.0 - Stages of Getting a Cross (Illustration by the author)Īnd, our goal is to get a blue cross on this face. Like earlier, we need to repeat these movements to place all the eight middle edge-cubes in their correct position.Īnd, with that, we’ve solved the middle layer completely: If we take a closer look, the second series contains the first series: M₁ = M₂ = ↦ M₂ = M₁ M₁ ![]() However, if we end up in the second orientation, then we need a bit longer series of moves: ![]() If we end up in the first orientation, then we need to perform a shorter series of movements: (Illustration by the author)Īs shown in Illustration 9.0., the first layer which was solved earlier is moved at the bottom while the unsolved layers are towards the top.įurther, we need to move the middle edge-cubes marked in the green, and white color to the middle layer from their original position in the top layer. ![]() The left face has white as the center cube, while the front face has green as the center cube. There is a space of one unit-cube in the center cavity of the Rubik’s cube, which is not visible from the outside, and there won’t be any reference to this unit cube in this article henceforth. And, all of them have three visible faces painted, each with a different color. All these unit cubes have two visible faces painted, each with a different color. So, we will use their fixed position property and use them as a reference while solving the Rubik’s cube. The center-cubes have a fixed position, which means that no series of moves can change move them from their original place. As a result, each center-cube has only one visible face painted. In total, there are six center-cubes, one on each face of the Rubik’s cube. Let’s get to know them well: Center-cubes And, in total, there are (3x 3x 3–1=26) unit cubes that are visible. So, for the scope of this article, we’ll be using these colors as and when required.įurther, each layer of the 3x 3x 3 Rubik’s cube comprises of 9 unit cubes. As per my market research, most of the Rubik’s cubes have white, blue, green, yellow, red, and orange colors. A regular 3x 3x 3 Rubik’s cube has six faces, each painted with a different color. ![]()
