[WANNA SOLVE A 3x3 RUBIK'S CUBE?]
Since some of my friends still askin me how t actualy solve the 3x3 rubik's cube, i might as well post it here. This tutorial im giving you is one of the common instruction on how to solve it. It can be found in Google if you search properly.
What you will need-
1.A normal 3x3 Rubik's Cube
2.A paper and pen
3.A desire to learn and practice
LETS GET STARTED
1) The Cube and AlgarithmsFirst i must introduce to you what
Algarithms (aka Formula) is. It is a set of instruction you use it to move certain part of the cube without screwing up the other faces.
Hold a cube. The colour of the centrepiece of the cube is
ALWAYS the colour of the face, because the centre is fixed.
The basic Algarithms consists of a Letter which indicates which face you are turning and a symbol which indicates the direction for you to turn it.
Example-
U, D', R, R'Now observe the cube you are holding.
The face that is facing you is called Front,
FThe face on the left is called Left.
LThe face on the right is called Right,
RThe face on the top is called Up,
UThe face on the bottom is called Down,
DThe face at the back is called Back,
B
There are two types of rotation,
-
Clockwise (direction the needles of an analog clock is moving)
-
Anti-Clockwise (diection OPPOSITE the needles of an analog clock is moving)
When the instruction is
U, it means rotate the Top face 90' clockwise (Read as Up)
U', it means rotate the Top face 90' anticlockwise (Read as Up Inverted)
2U or
U U, it means turns the Top surface 180' regardless of the direction
Same goes with the other
(F,R',L,2L,D',B B,) Now it is best for you to learn to navigate the cube by solving any one face randomly.
2. SOLVING FIRST LAYERNo
ALGARITHMS is needed here yet.
This is called the first layer
i) Get a CrossChoose any one colour as first layer (in this case,
BLUE). Make the blue centre as the top face as shown. Then first make a cross as shown and make sure the colour of each side the same with the centre of each other faces..
ii)Fill the cornersAfter making a corect cross, fill up the corners with the correct piece until you solved the first layer completely as shown.
3.SOLVING SECOND LAYERi)After solving the first layer, turn the cube upside down as shown.
ii)Then your objective now is to fill the missing piece A nd B on every side. To o this, spin the top layer until you create a large upside down T with a top piece C. This will be your Frot Face
iii) You will either move that top piece C to fill the A piece or B piece of the cube. This depends on the top colour D. Since here it is left, you move it to the Right at B.
How to move it? Follow this algarithms.
Move from the top to Left (C to A)
-
U' L' U L U F U' F'
Move from the top to Right (C to B)
-
U R U' R' U' F' U F 
It will be like this
After filling in all the missing sides at all faces. you will get this.
CONGRATULATIONS! You had solved the second layer
4. SOLVING THE THIRD (aka FINAL) LAYERNow all you have to do is to focus on the top surface and do not worry of screing up the other faces that you had done earlier.
i) Find an 'L'
Now you will find a letter L. The L
MUST look like this
Normaly after you will get diferent types of top upper face after you finished two layers. Below are some example
A- No specific pattern
B- A letter L
C- A box
D- A Cross
As mention earlier, you must get an L. In the figure, only B and C. In figure A, there is an L, but this is not the L shape that you want.
TAKE NOTE OF THE FRONT FACE.Now if you do not have an L, lika A, you can use this algarithm to form and L
R' U' F' U F RDo this repeatedly until an L is formed
ii) Get a Cross
Unless you aleady have a cross such as D, you must make a cross of your own from L
You will use the same previous Algarithm ato do this.
TAKE NOTE OF THE FRONT FACER' U' F' U F R
ii) Make your cross correctEach side of the cross must corredpond to the colour of each face.
The possible types of cross you can get is
A. All correct
B. Two opposite correct
C. Two consecutive side correct
D. None correct
If all correct, you can skip this step
Otherwise, use this Algarithms, and make the FrontFace in the diagram as the face facing you (
MUST) For none correct, use any face. Use repeatedly until cross is correct
R U R' U R U U R'iii)Arrange the corners correct in PLACE but incorrect positionConfused? Well it means that now, you must bring the correct corner piece to the correct
place, although it is still not solved. Sometime one corner maybe solved already, So you can use that as the correct corner.
SKIP this step if all corners is already correct place.
Example-
If not correct, choose any face and use this next algarithm until the corrected corner is at the bottom right of the top facem because this Algarithm
WILL NOT move this corner. Make sure the cross is
STILL in the correct place.
Use this algarithm repeatedly untill all the corners is n the correct places.
U R U' L' U R' U' LIV)Solve the cornersThis is the
FINAL algarithm.
R' D' R DIt will only change the cornerpiece of the bottom right piece.
So choose a correct face, then use the algarithm repeatedly. When the corner is solved,
DO NOT CHANGE THE FACE. Spin the top face so the corner that you wanna change next will be again at the bottom right.
Continue do this with all the unsolve corners
Your cube is solved
Do practice. If you still dont get it.....contact Nazery Nain or Noel Ang
