Okay, now that you have all the Top (Bottom) corners in place, you have to rotate them in place so that the colors match up with their respecive sides.

For example, in the first picture you see that two of the corners are not green. That's because the green is on the side of the cube. We need the green to come to the top of the cube.

There are three cases for this step:

- There is only one corner piece with green on top. In this case, make sure that that corner piece is on your right, and closest to you, then preform the algorithm once ( first cube example in the first picture).

If all of the corners are solved, then continue onto the next step, otherwise see if you have the same or another case, and follow the instructions for that case.

- The are no corner pieces with green on top. In this case, follow the 3rd cube example in the first picture, making sure the cube is facing you the right way, and preform the algorithm.

If all of the corners are solved, then continue onto the next step, otherwise see if you have the same or another case, and follow the instructions for that case.

- There is more than one corner piece with green on top. In this case, follow the 2nd cube example in the first picture, where there is a corner that is not green in the closer right hand corner, and any of the other corners are green. You MUST make sure that the right corner closest to you is NOT green.

If all of the corners are solved, then continue onto the next step, otherwise see if you have the same or another case, and follow the instructions for that case.

Once you have solved all the corners, move onto the next step.

There's an inaccuracy in the first cube example... compare to http://www.chessandpoker.com/rubiks-cube-solution.html step 5... it's slightly different

Also, there's a step missing here, see step 6 from the same link

new problem i started with blue as my top and got past levels 1-6 but now i have yellow and blue completely solved and a perfect green "t" on top.the 4 remaining squares are in the right place but not in position. what do i do?

ive got a problem here- - im using blue as my top side in this step. ive got a corner between blue red and white that needs to be switched with a corner between blue white and orange. how do i do that without screwing the cube?

you have to do EXACTLY what he says

I've tried this four times at least, and it just mixes up the whole cube again! I am re-doing the steps backwards to get the cube back to having two levels fixed. But this does not seem to work for my cube. I *must* be missing something.

I am having an issue with this step... when I do it, the top comes out good, but the sides are missing more than just the middle piece, not sure what I am doing wrong...
