Rubiks Cube

Algorithms

• Corner Algorithm: Ri Di R D
• Middle Layer (Left): Ui Li U L U F Ui Fi
• Middle Layer (Right): U R Ui Ri Ui Fi U F
• Third Layer Cross: F R U Ri Ui Fi (Blue 'L' shape Should be in upper left-hand corner, repeat if necessary)
• Third Layer Opposite Edge Flip: R U Ri U R U U Ri
• Third Layer - First Corner: U R Ui Li U Ri Ui L
• Third Layer - Remaining Corners: R U Ri U R U U Ri (with two lined up sides (one in right hand, one opposite of you)

Solving the Cube

First Layer

• Intuitively build a cross on the green face, ensuring non-corner edge pieces match center pieces of middle layer.
• Position each green corner piece below its target destination on the third layer
• With piece in place, hold cube green face up with target corner in bottom right-hand side
• Repeat Corner Algorithm until corner piece is in correct position
• Repeat for each corner until first layer is completely solved

Second Layer

• Place cube green face down, blue face up
• Find non-corner edge piece with no blue on it
• Line piece up with centre piece of middle layer
• Use either the Middle Layer (Left) or Middle Layer (Right) algorithms to place piece in the correct position in middle layer.
