the side with the white centre cube) and the red on the red’s side only. For example, the edge piece coloured red and white must lie with the white on the white’s side ( i.e. I prefer first solving the centre cross ( + ) i.e., once you chose your first side, get the correct edge pieces into place. Use your grey matter abit in the beginning, and you can learn the tricks later. I suggest you try solving the top layer on your own- it may seem impossible at first and take a lot of time, but dont be disheartened. One method of solving the cube is the layer method, a top- down approach, where you start with solving the top layer (U), then the middle and lastly the bottom layer. Also, do not change the selected front face in between an algorithm. F = front U = up R = right L = left D = downį’= front inverse U’=up inverse R’= right inverse L’= left inverse D’= down inverseĭon’t get confused as R means rotating the right face away from you but L means rotating the left face towards you, because the pieces are rotated with respect to the clockwise or anticlockwise direction for that particular face only. Rotating the piece in the anti-clockwise direction is donated by F’. Rotating this piece through 90* in the clockwise direction is depicted as F. They have 2 sides and hence 2 colours.There are 12 such pieces. There are 6 such pieces.ģ-Edge: the pieces not included in centre and corner. There are 6 such pieces.Ģ-Corner: lying at the (no points for guessing) corners, they have 3 sides and hence 3 colours. They are immovable and define the colour of their respective faces. It’s really quite simple !! The Terminology Types of pieces:ġ- Center: they lie at the centre of each face.

Once you get a hang of how to solve it, it’s just a matter of a little more practice to attain enough speed. You’ll need to learn just 5-6 short algorithms. I recommend the following according to which I believe an average person could solve the cube under 2 minutes with 3-4 weeks of practice. There are many sources on the internet that provide algorithms. So, if you’ve ever held one in your hand and wondered ‘how do they do it’, here’s a push in the right direction Two minutes sounds like no extraordinary feat, but its a start. Then there are variations of 5 x 5 and higher cubes. Some solve it blindfolded in a remarkably short period of time too. The record time in solving it is 6.something seconds.
The Rubik’s cube has kept a generous handful from our generation and the previous busy.
