How To Solve A Rubik's Cube!

Step 6 Placing the Bottom Corners

The first thing you need to do once you finished the middle layer is flip your entire cube over.

Now, examine the corners the way that they are (colors) and see if the colors of the corner pieces correlate with the edge that they are on.

You might need to turn the top (used to be bottom) layer in order to line up two adjacent corners to their respective edges.

If you cannot line up two adjacent ones, then you'll have to do the algorithm twice, so just do it once and then start this step over.

I can better explain this through graphics, so look at the first five pictures now.

Make the two corners that need to be switched face you, then do the provided algorithm.

If you don't need to switch any corners, skip this step.

Try to shuffle it after you do step 6.. I did it for 2weeks 2hours a day and finally could solve the cube...

I have a problem. all of my corners but two are in the correct spots facing the correct directions. these two are on non-consecutive corners. they are switched so that it looks like this:


what do i do?

This was confusing at first. The algorithm switches "1" with the "2" on the left, not the one on the right.

I am attempting to learn to solve a rubik's cube, but I keep getting stuck on step 6. Every time I use the given algorithm, it seems to just scramble the cube. I would greatly appreciate it if you could shed some light on this issue.
