how to solve a rubiks cube indepth and easy instructions.

how to solve a rubiks cube indepth and easy instructions.
ok to solve the rubiks cube you must first become accustomed to it take your cube hold it out in front of you.

Picture 2 is how the guide works ,pretty cool, huh!

you'll see something like picture 1.

now learn the lingo for your cube picture 2.
U. up as in the top.
B. back you don't need to know this for any movements.
L. the left side
R. the right side
F. the front side
D. the bottom side as in down.

If I have a ( ' ) mark after one letter in a sequence such as F U F' that means to turn that side that has the mark on it counterclockwise.

If I have a ( " ) mark after a letter such as U" D" L" R" B" F" that means to turn the side 180 degrees half a circle.

note: your rubik's cube might be slightly different then mine in the pictures all you have to do is think to yourself that the color I am using is the color you have to use for that.

Step 1Step 1 the cross

step 1 the cross
this is really easy.

1.All you have to do is select your color I chose green.

2.Find the center piece the one sided piece with only green on it.

3.Position that piece on tho bottom of the cube.

4.Now, look for one of the side corner pieces the these corners only have 2 sides it has to have one green side on it.

5.It will have another color on the other side I don't know that color is so I'll represent it with a ? mark.
You have to take ? and green and find the same colored center piece as the ? is. Try to get those 2 colors matched up like in picture 2 you can see the center blue and the corner green and blue are matched up and in place.

6.Once you get them matched up all you have to do is rotate that side until the greens come together on the bottom.

repeat steps 4 -6 until you have a cross.

I'm sorry I cant explain this better I know I had a very hard time with this step for a while but once I got it I can get this step done as fast as I can find the colors.

the rest will be a little easier.

i dont get it ahhh
Jan 21, 2011. 6:57 AMbertj says:
please help! after i do one of the 4 corners, the other ones are spread all over the cube so there's no way i can do the move again. help please! so frustrating, almost there and then it goes totally wrong :(
Jan 22, 2011. 2:39 AMbertj says:
oh, so it doesn't have to be another corner of the top layer? thanks, will try :)
Jul 9, 2009. 1:11 AMkisa7 says:
hi! can u help me please im stuck on step 6. whenever i do a pattern it turns the corner in to the correct position but then it messes up the rest of the cube im not sure if its suppose to b like tht or not please help me! i tried a lot of times already >.<
Mar 30, 2010. 10:31 PMpromiser says:
 Yes it will mess up the cube. But once that top corner is in place rotate the top 90 degrees and repeat until all four BLUE corners are in place. Which then you should only need one or two obvious turns to finish it

nice, my record for the cube is 45 seconds.

 you sure have a lot of wood inside a rubiks cube...
Sep 14, 2009. 6:14 PMbishyk says:
I believe there is an easier way to solve the last 4 corners. Place any correctly oriented cube in the far right corner of the top and follow the algorithm R' D' R D - Repeat until corner is oriented correctly - Rotate just the top 90 degrees - Repeat Once all cubes are oriented correctly then the top later just needs to be turned once more and cube solved. This works if all of the corners are in the right position but oriented the wrong way. It seems like your screwing up all of your hard work but if you follow the algorithm and continue to spin, it'll fall into place eventually

A couple of years ago I could solve one in 5 minutes. Here's a Challenge try it blindfolded.
Dec 11, 2008. 12:19 PMdsman195276 says:
i have, i can usually solve the cube when i only look at it around 15 times.
Dec 6, 2008. 10:15 PMShadowfuryix says:
hmm they looks it over and memorize the parts? oh and theres an easy way to have a blindfolded vid on youtube: blindfold yourself, get a solved cube, move it in random directions, then play the vid backwards.

I did it in just under 2 mins and won a frozen coke off my teacher :D, this has a little bit of missing information, i learnt how do solve my rubiks of you tube, look up "how to solve a 3 by 3 rubiks cube" and copy some information off there, it should have a weird geeky person. :D
Nov 25, 2008. 12:25 PMomegafox says:
it look like it works but not for me i stink at this rubik cube thing
Nov 12, 2008. 11:03 AMyerjoking says:
Okay I'm going to try this, and if this works for me then I'll let you know if this is the best/quickest/easiest.
Nov 14, 2008. 12:07 PMyerjoking says:
Well I oiled my Cube with chainsaw oil, and I've finally got all the excess oil, and the cube is dry, so gimme 'bout 30 minutes, I'll go all the way through this and if I get stuck I'll tell you =].
