There is not just one sequence or algorithm, It takes lots of different steps and cn differ to what situations you get in with your cube. It is not too hard to learn how to solve one but it may take time and hard work. Some people get it faster than others.

How do you solve a rubix cube in easy terms?
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 to solve a rubixs cube?
You take the stickers off and put them in the right places.
Why isn't there an easy way to solve the Rubik's cube?
The short answer is that there IS an easy way to solve it. The question is only whether or not you have the patience to memorize the algorithms (set moves that move the pieces in a specific way). There are ways to solve it that don't use algorithms, such as the Heisse Method, but they are typically more advanced solve methods and unsuitable for beginners. I won't go into the details on what the algorithms are because you can get them on youtube or on other websites easily enough. But I will describe the types of algorithms you will need. The bare minimum number of algorithms a person needs to know to solve a cube is 5. This is because there are 5 types of operations you can perform with a cube. First, there are essentially three parts to solving a rubik's cube, and this applies to cubes from as small as 3x3x3 to as large as 50x50x50. There are the centers, the edges, and the corners. Each part is a separate puzzle on it's own and should be treated as such. Solving the centers is not a problem for the 3x3x3 because there is only one center piece and it never moves no matter how much you turn the cube because they are the axes of rotation. So you don't have to solve the center until you start working on 4x4x4 or larger. The Edges are usually next to go. On 4x4x4 and larger you must assemble the edges but for a 3x3x3 they are already assembled since they are only one piece to an edge so you need your first algorithm to move the center pieces from one position to another. For best results use an algorithm that moves as few pieces as possible at a time (minimum possible is 3) and doesn't move any other pieces on the entire cube. Just memorize the pattern of moves in the algorithm and know how they move the pieces. Then you are essentially just putting the pieces into the right place one piece at a time based on matching the colors to the center pieces. This is called permuting the edges. It's really that simple if you know the algorithms, and that's just rote memorization, anyone can do it if they really try to. The next algorithm you need to know is how to twist the edges so they have the correct color on the correct side. This is called orienting the edges. You can solve all of the edges at the same time, and then move on to the corners. If you must permute the edges and orient the edges, then you logically must also permute and orient the corners as well giving us a full 4 algorithms that we must know. Since the basic algorithms don't affect any other pieces than the ones you are moving, these can be handled as two separate and unrelated puzzles. For a 3x3x3 cube most people find solving the corners first the easiest, but you can solve it with edges first too. Every now and then you will encounter what is called a parity. According to the laws of the cube (which describes what moves are mathematically possible to perform), it is impossible to have any state that requires an odd number of swaps to solve. What this means is that it is impossible to swap two pieces and two pieces only, but that's okay because it is a scenario that is impossible to occur on the cube anyway. However, the corners and edges are two separate puzzles of the same cube, so it IS possible to have an odd swap for the edges when paired with an odd swap for the corners as well. This means that you will need to know a fifth algorithm to handle the parity issue by swapping two corners and two edges at the same time. And that's it. You can find the algorithms all over the internet, and there are also many other different methods of solving the cube. But all you really need to know to figure it out is 5 algorithms: Permute the Edges, Orient the Edges, Permute the Corners, Orient the Corners, and a Parity Move. After you memorize 5 algorithms (which often are simple moves) then you only have to move one piece at a time until the cube is solved. If you have the patience to learn the algorithms then you should be able to solve the cube in about 3 to 5 minutes.
How do you perform the new 20-move Rubik's Cube solution?
Each 20-move solution is unique to the cube's scrambled position, because it is the most efficient way of solving it. This contrasts with algorithms that speed-solvers use, which can be very move-intensive. Unless you are a supercomputer, I doubt you could find a universal 20-move solving algorithm. By universal, I mean that works for EVERY combination of starting positions. Hint: There are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 combinations.
Can you solve a Rubik's cube in two moves?
What you do Is do this thing called CFOP it skips through parts of the normal way of solving the 3x3 Rubik's cube. Speed cubers can make it to 10-30 seconds or less using this method. CFOP stands for Cross, First two layers Oll and Pll. Oll and Pll are two big algorithms that help solve the Rubik's faster the normal way of solving it is much simpler yet longer. First you make a cross, then build middle layer, after that you build yellow center pieces, and the corners, than you do a algorithm to flip the corners and then you have finished the cube. As you can see There is a lot more to do for the normal way to solve the cube than CFOP. Hope this helped ;)
What is the fastest rubik's cube solve ever?
i think 6 seconds ---------- probably unknown, except for the one who did it him/herself. since one possible combination for the cube only requires a single turn to solve the cube, i'd imagine it's somewhere between 0-2 seconds. The fastest Official World Record (with a proper scramble, not a 1-2 turn move) is 5.66 by Feliks Zemdegs.
What is the formula of the rubiks cube?
There are many ways to solve a Rubik's cube. This is the way I use, the one with algorithms. Here are all the bits of the algorithms. R- turn cube's right column up/L- turn left column down/U- turn top row left/ D- turn bottom row left/F- turn front side clockwise/ B- turn back side counterclockwise (Any thing with an 'i' next to it is inverted or turned the opposite way.) Another thing to know is what the #'s 123456789 mean. When I use it, that tells what piece is being switched with each other. 1- top left corner/2- top edge/3- top right corner/4- middle left edge/ 5- middle/6- middle right edge/7- bottom left corner/8- bottom edge/ 9- bottom right corner The first thing to do is solve the bottom side. I don't use algoritms for that because it is the easiest dang thing ever. When you are doing this, make sure to have the right pieces solved. For example, the blue side has been solved and around the sides touching the blue, they are lined up blue/red/yellow corner piece next to blue/red edge piece next to blue/red/white corner piece. Turn the bottom side so the sides match up to their middle pieces. Secondly, you need to turn the top so that it has a 2 need ing to be moved down to a 4 or a 6. To move the 2 to a 4 do the algorithm: Ui, Li, U, L, U, F, Ui, Fi. To move the 2 to a 6 do the algorithm: U, R, Ui, Ri, Ui, Fi, U, F. Continue this step till all sides have 456789 solved correctly. To get the top cross you need to have that color set up on top with either 456, 5, or 245. On that setup do: F, U, R, Ui, Ri, Fi. Having it in 5 will put it into 456. Having 456 will put it into 245. Having 245 will put it in the cross. The next step is much harder to explain. You are trying to get the top colors on the top, so to say. The algorithm is: R, U, Ri, U, R, U, U, Ri. You need to do that algorithm till either you get it done or it is in 245678. Once it is in 245678 do the algorithm and then flip to the side that has it set up like this again. Do the algorithm again and it should have all the pieces on it. If you did the step before, sometimes it will set the side up so it has two of the corners set up. To switch any wrong corners, turn the top so that any right corners are matched to their sides in the back. Do the algorithm: Ri, F, Ri, B, B, R, Fi, Ri, B, B, R, R. Sometimes this algorithm will solve the cube. To move the edges clockwise or counterclockwise, turn the top til a side is solved (if possible). For clockwise: F, F, U, L, Ri, F, F, Li, R, U, F, F. For counterclockwise: F, F, Ui, L, Ri, F, F, Li, R, U, F, F. Your Rubik's should be solved right now. Happy trails.
Does any randomly shuffled Rubik's Cube provide the same difficulty to a solver or can one cube be easier to solve than another?
That depends on what your solving purpose is. If you're just simply solving it or doing a speedcube solve (as fast as you can), then the answer is No, they are all the same level of difficulty. If you can solve one scramble, then you can solve them all with the same method and same ease. This is because you are essentially moving the pieces one at a time until they are all in the right place, and it doesn't really matter where they start from on the cube. If you are trying to do a blind-folded solve, then it matters. But not because it's more difficult to fix, but rather because some patterns are innately easier to memorize than others. However, this should only be a problem for beginner blind-solvers. Where it really makes a difference is when you're attempting a fewest-moves solve. Some patterns are in a position to move several pieces into either the right spot, or a setup to later move them in the right spot together. So if they are not in a position to easily set them up to move together, then it will take more moves. But if you're really superhuman and have an intellect beyond godly capabilities, then you can solve any scramble position in just 20 moves maximum. The 20 move solve though is unique to each cube state, so this is only something we can do with computers so far.
