Is it possible for you to fix your Rubik's Cube some way easy?

You can fix it if only the pieces fell off, but if a center square broke off, well, that's a lot harder, and you might possibly have to buy a whole new one. However, if you just need to put the pieces back, you should start with an edge piece and put it in place. NOTE: PUT IT TOGETHER SOLVED OR IT WILL MOST LIKELY BE IMPOSSIBLE. To put an edge piece into place, slip it under two center pieces by the protruding sections so it looks like a normal cube edge. Then put another edge piece in right next to it (between two center squares). Next, you need to slide the right corner piece in between the two edges you already put in, making sure the right color is facing down. Next, slide the right edge piece on top of the corner. This should have a 2x2 block on one corner.

Continue to put pieces in place on another corner of the cube center. You should put all the pieces on all but one side on. The last side is a bit tricky. To get an edge piece on, you will have to snap it into place instead of sliding it in from the side. Snap the pieces into place in this order:

p.s. you should put an edge piece in last, not a corner.

NOTE: THE CUBE IS VERY UNSTABLE WHILE SOME PIECES ARE OUT OF PLACE. TAKE CARE NOT TO BUMP IT AND *CRASH* AND HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN. :)

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

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.

How do you solve a Rubik's cube 4x4?

I used this series of video's on YouTube.com:

but if you don't like to learn it from a video, use this website:

I highly recommand to first learn how to solve a 3x3 Rubik's Cube, because at some point of the 4x4 you have to solve it the way like a 3x3, and that part is not in the video or at the website.

How do you solve rubic cube?

It's very hard to explain in words, it may be easier to search for videos or instructional guides. But the method that works best for me is to start by ignoring the corner pieces (any individual cube that has three stickers on it) and get all the white edges (edges are individual cubes with two stickers on them). Since the edge pieces have two stickers, you'll need to make that each edge not only has the white on the side with the white center piece, but has it's other sticker on the side with that color center piece. After I get the 'white plus sign,' I move on to get the blue, green, orange, and red edge pieces. I do this by looking for any edge piece that doesn't have yellow on it on the yellow side, and moving the correct spot down temporarily, then moving the yellow side to put the non-yellow edge in the correct spot, and then move the spot back up. This process is repeated until all non-yellow edges are in the correct spot. After this, some yellow edges will be 'upside-down' so that the yellow sticker is on the green or red face. To fix this, you put it on the red (or blue, green or orange) side, replace it with another upside down yellow piece, and then replace that with the piece that goes wherever you put it. After this, you should still have the white plus signs, a yellow plus sign, and a complete row of correct edges. To get plus signs on all the other sides, you'll just have to switch a couple of yellow edges. You can still spin the yellow side without messing anything up, and you will always be able to get two sides to match up. If you hold the cube so that you're looking at the yellow side on bottom, and the two sides that need to be switched on top, you move the right side counterclockwise, yellow side clockwise, right side clockwise, the yellow side clockwise twice, the right side counterclockwise, the yellow side clockwise, the right side clockwise, and the yellow side clockwise one more time. You may have to do this twice, but then you'll be done all the edge pieces. For the corners, you can usually find a corner where one sticker is on the correct face. If you take it off that face, rotate that face so that you put it back on the correct part of that face, and then put it back, and then move the face back, you can move each individual corner to where it belongs without messing up edges.

What is the original color configuration for each side of the Rubicks cube?

for the original (currently used by japan) color scheme of the rubiks cube: okay, first hold the cube so that yellow is on top (if it has yellow) with blue on the front. on the right should be orange, on the left red, on the bottom green, and on the back white. this color scheme is also currently used on the 2x2x2 rubiks brand cube. the difference between the current and original color scheme is that yellow and blue are switched, making red opposite orange, blue opposite white, and green opposite yellow.

this is for the American color scheme if you want to know what is currently used now. if you are holding it as described above then on the bottom should be white(or possibly black) red is on the right, green is on the back, and orange is on the left. something to help is that red is opposite of orange, blue is opposite of green, white is opposite of yellow, and if you look at th corner that has red white and blue, then in clockwise order around the corner is Red, White, then Blue.

hope that helped!!

How do you do F2L?

The fasted way to do F2L is by using part of Fridrich's method. The best tutorial for this I know of is here: Badmephisto's Cubing Site: F2L

With the above method, instead of putting in the top corners then the edges, you're putting both in at once. Please note that this is a much more advanced way of doing it, if you're only a beginner with the 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube, check out the official Rubik's Cube website: Rubik's Official Website.

In case you didn't know, F2L stand for First 2 Layers.

What is one solution to a soma cube or how do you solve a soma cube?

to solve it:

Get 1 and place it so the number is facing you upside-down, the get 2 and place it so the number is the right way up, in the gap. Next rotate what you have of the cube 90º right. Then,get 3 and rotate it 90º left from it facing the right way and slot it in at the back. Then get 4 and rotate it 90º right from its correct position, flip it over and place on top. rotate you cube so that 3 in on the bottom. Get 5 and rotate it 90º left from its correct way up then flip it over and place it on top. Rotate the cube so that 2 is at the bottom. Get 6, flip it over from its correct way up and place it on top. You have now completed your soma cube/
