The basic steps:
1.) Get the green edge pieces in place
2.) Get the green corners in place
3.) Get the second layer solved
4.) Get the blue edges flipped the right way
5.) Put the blue edges in the right places
6.) Get the blue corners in the right places
7.) Rotate the blue corners the right way
The notation for the algorithms:
(This depends on what side is facing you.)
F-------turn the front side clockwise
L-------turn the left side clockwise
R-------turn the right side clockwise
U-------turn the "up" side clockwise
D-------turn the "Down" side clockwise
Fi------turn the front side counterclockwise
Li------turn the left side counterclockwise
Ui------turn the "Up" side counterclockwise
Di------turn the "Down" side counterclockwise
Step #1
1.) look on the blue side for an edge piece that has green on it
2.) rotate the blue side until that piece is directly under where it needs to be on the green side
3.) flip it up so it is in the right position
4.) repeat until the green "cross" is solved
NOTE: If a piece is flipped the wrong way, hold the cube so the green side is on the top and the flipped edge piece is in the front side. Do the algorithm: Fi,U,Li,Ui To flip it the right way.
Step#2
1.) same as before, look on the blue side for a green corner piece
2.) rotate the blue side so the green corner is directly under where it needs to be
3.) Hold the cube so the green side is the up side and the corner is in the bottom-right corner of the front side.
4.) Do the algorithm: Ri,Di,R,D either once, three times, or five times to get it in the right place
Step#3
1.) flip the cube so the green side is down
2.) look on the blue side for an edge piece that doesn't have blue in it
3.) rotate the blue side so the color on the edge piece that isn't on the blue side lines up with It's other color; making a straight line
4.) if the piece needs to go to the left, do this algorithm: Ui,Li,U,L,U,F,Ui,Fi and if it needs to go to the right, do:U,R,Ui,Ri,Ui,Fi,U,F do that until the middle layer is solved
Step#4
1.) Next, on the blue side (not including the corners) you should either have a: DOT, "L", LINE, or "CROSS" you need to get the cross
2.) Hold the cube so, if you have the L, have it face the upper right, if you have the line, make it vertical, and the dot hold it in any was so it is at the up face.
3.) Continue doing the algorithm: L,F,U,Fi,Ui,Li until you get The cross
Step#5
1.) Rotate the blue side until two of the blue edges are in the correct places and hold the cube so they are in the top-right of the up side.
2.) Do the algorithm: R,U,Ri,U,R,U,U,Ri,U to solve it
NOTE: The two that might line up are opposite eachother, so do the algorithm when they are vertical on the up side
Step#6
1.) Look at the rest of the corners that are unsolved and if any are in the right position, but flipped the wrong or right way, hold them in the bottom-right of the up face.
2.) Do the algorithm: U,R,Ui,Li,U,Ri,Ui,L either once or twice
NOTE: If there aren't any in the right position, but flipped the wrong or right way, do this from any side
Step#7
1.) With all the cube solved except for the either two, three, or four corners in the right places, but flipped the wrong way, hold the cube so one unsolved corner is in the bottom-right hand corner of the up face(wich is blue)
2.) Do the algorithm: Ri,Di,R,D until that corner is solved.
3.) Rotate JUST the upside so another unsolved corner is in the same position as the previous corner and do Ri,Di,R,Duntil that one is solved and (if needed) rotate the up face so another unsolved corner is in the same position as the previous corner.
4.) repeat steps 2-3 until all the corners are rotated the right way.
5.) You can figure it out from here (-:
I added a Rubik's Cube solution Guide in the link section.
This is a very good Rubik's cube solving guide with animations for beginners!
Good Luck!
The 4x4 rubik's cube or the Rubik's Revenge
Because it's a cube and it was created by Erno Rubik.
The Rubik's Cube was invented by a Hungarian named Ernő Rubik in 1974. It's originally name was the Magic Cube but changed to the Rubik's Cube in 1980.
erno Rubik invented the 2x2 - pocket cube 3x3 - Rubik's cube or magic cube 4x4 - Rubik's revenge 5x5 - professor's cube Rubik twist-snake Rubik's magic-the foldable sheet puzzle
Rubik's Cube was created in 1974.
Yes. Rubik's Cube competitions are fairly popular among Rubik's Cube solvers.
The Rubik's Cube was invented in 1974 and was first patented in January 1975. The original name for the cube was the Magic Cube but was later renamed the Rubik's Cube in 1980.
The Rubik's cube was invented in 1974 by a Hungarian professor of architecture Ernö Rubik.
The Rubik's Cube was first oringinaly called the "Magic Cube" by it's inventor Erno Rubik
Erno Rubik invented the Rubik's cube and the company "Ideal Toy's" were the manufactures
A Rubik's Cube is a perfect cube, hence it has all right angles.
A Rubik's cube is a cube, therefore it is a type of rectangular prism.
