Using these algorithms you can solve a rubiks cube.

ALGORITHMS

***First Layer***

White Cross

Flip Edge: F' U L' U'

Corners

White on Left: D' R' D R

White on Right: R' D' R

White on Bottom: R' 2D R D

***Middle Layer***

Edge Belongs on the Left: U' L' U L U F U' F'

Edge Belongs on the Right: U R U' R' U' F' U F

***Last Layer***

Getting the Cross

From Dot: (Hold dot in any position): F R U R' U' F'

From L (Hold L in top left): F R U R' U' F

From Bar (Hold bar horizontally): F R U R' U' F'

Positioning the Cross

Two colors are across from each other

(Hold so one of the colors faces you): R U R' U R 2U R'

Two colors are adjacent to each other

(Hold so one of the colors is to your right and the other is in the back):

R U R' U R 2U R' U

Positioning Corners

If NO corners are positioned: U R U' L' U R' U' L

Hold the solved corner in the top right: U R U' L' U R' U' L

(Repeat until all four corners are positioned correctly)

Orienting Corners (FINAL STEP!!!)

Hold unsolved corners in the top right corner: R' D' R D

(Repeat until all four corners are oriented correctly)

What does the y move on the Rubik's Cube mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

X, Y and Z moves in the rubik's cube don't actually move any sides, it is rotation of the whole cube, to hold it from a different angle

with a X move you hold the cube from either the Up or Down face in front of you

with a Y move you hold the cube from either the Left or Right face in front of you

with a Z move you hold the cube with the same face in front of you, but you make the Up face go to the Right face

How do you solve a rubix cube in easy terms?

Asked by Ddooggss

Go to Wikihow.com and type in How do you solve a Rubic's Cube? The answer will have 2 links written in blue. Click on Roobik.com. You fill in the cubelets with what color you have on each side, and a generator will say (example) First Try: 122 steps Second Try: 78 steps etc. until it gets down to a small number. There will be a picture of a Rubik's Cube and click on the arrows to show you the next move or the move before it if you didn't catch it. There are 3 or 4 Rubiks Cubes on the page, so when the arrows disappear, go to the next Cube. It is a lot easier than it sounds. It is simple, and you can gloat that you solved it, just like I did!

How do you solve a 6x6 rubik's cube?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

first you need to be able to solve a 3x3, 4x4, and 5x5

then solve the centers and pair them up like you do to a 5x5 then pair up the edges and after that you can solve it like a 3x3 thinking that all of the centers act as one and the paired edges act as one(just turn the most outer layer)

after that you may encounter parity(either the edges or the end were one pair of edges or all four are flipped)

you can also go to " youtube.com "

and search-how to solve a 6x6 Rubik's cube

they don't have edge parity but if you can understand that then it will help!!!

hope that helps!

First on 1 face make a cross then fill in the corners. Next move pieces from the top layer to the 2nd. Now make a cross on the top face, align it, move the corners in position then flip them. Now you should have solved it.

How do you mute a rubiks slide?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I figured it out. First of all you have to be in a game to do it. The two buttons at the top (one has a checkmark the other has an arrow) if you hold them down at the same time for about three seconds or so the "volume control" menu comes up. You just twist to adjust/mute the volume. Clockwise turns it up, counterclockwise turns it down.

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on what colour scheme it is.

Normally, it would be

white(top)

red blue orange green

yellow(bottom)

There is also a colour scheme where white is opposite blue, yellow is opposite green, and red and orange are opposite.

First thing is to remember the algorithms of the cube. Then, you have to solve a cross, and put the corners in the correct position. After that, you solve for the second layer, and then you do the final layer. I would recommend searching it up on YouTube to assist you.
