How do you solve the 3x3 rubick's cube?

Answer 1

I can help get started.

First, put the white centre on top. I use green for the front, red for the right, orange for the left, and blue for the back. Yellow is on the bottom.

Second, mess around until you get all four white points next to the white centre, forming a cross. Do the same for the yellow points.

Third, focus on the green, red, blue and orange (in order counterclockwise). Turn the fourth layer (the one beneath the white) and get one point for any colour. Make a one-layer move so the finished points end up on the bottom.

Fourth, tinker with the top points and solve.

Fifth, solve the side, and, ultimately the top and bottom crosses. Make fourth-layer moves, horizontal-slice moves, and one-layer front-side moves.

Sixth, connect the wings to the edges.

Seventh, solve like a 3x3x3 cube.

Eighth, mess it up and repeat until you're bored.

Answer 2

Those cubes are tricky, and they require some thinking and planning. The object is to get the entire side to match up with the color. However tempting it might, do not remove the stickers to make it easier, as this will mess things up.

The web has a multitude of resources that one can use to help them solve the cube. To find these, just do a search for "how to solve rubicks cube." For some extra help, there are some links that could be helpful.

Your best option is to visit YouTube.com and to check out some of the best videos on there. I can't recall the selection or I'd recommend them as they vary in quality of instruction. The basic premise is to match it up to a 3x3 cube and then solve in a similar manner. To form the 3x3 similarities you must first do the following:

-assemble 3x3 boxes at the centre of each face of each colour using standard substitution/replacement techniques;

-form 3x1 columns in the middle of each edge (i.e. excluding corner pieces) that match (again using standard substitution techniques.

The 6 centre sections (comprised of the 3x3 boxes) are the equivalent to a 3x3 cube's centre piece. The 3x1 columns are the equivalent to a 3x3 cube's edge pieces. The corners remain the same. From here, it allows you to solve in exactly the same manner as you would solve a 3x3 cube.

N.B. There are a couple possibilities for parity (exceptional cases). They generally occur when assembling the 3x1 edge pieces. You'll find at times that the last edge piece (or two) cannot be assembled properly using traditional techniques. For these parity cases, you'll need to look up the correct algorithm (there are only two possible parity scenarios so it's not hard to find them).

Again, this is merely a rough guideline, and unless you have a lot of experience with rubik's cubes will not allow you to solve it completely. Only to direct you in the right direction. If you are looking for a step by step guide, youtube is really your only option. Text format just wouldn't be efficient to fully explain.

Answer 4

solve the centers. they look like a 3x3x3. the last 2 will be tricky.then pair up 2 edge pieces. after that pair them up again.u will encouter parity.algorithym:D*,R,F',U,R',F,D'*.then solve it like a 3x3x3.finally fix parity again.ur done.

Answer 5

Well step 1 centres step 2 edge pairs step 3 solve as 3x3

so 3 but you could say 8

Answer 6
