![]() | How To Solve a Rubik's Cube - Part 3 Part 3 of 4 This part explains the steps to solve the middle layer finishing 2/3rds of the cube and the 1st step in solving the last layer, OLL. If you're having trouble with it please see my video response, it should correct everything i missed the 1st time around. |
![]() | How to solve a Rubik's Cube... Faster In the wake of my Rubik's Cube tutorials, I have received many requests for advice on how to solve the Rubik's cube faster. While this video does not teach any new speedsolving technique, it does give some tips on how one can take my method, and make it faster.

![]() | How to Solve a Rubik's Cube - Step 2 - Bottom White Corners Link to Step 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTPOqmBame0 You must look on the top layer for corners which have a white color on the side (not top or bottom faces). Once you have found (or corrected using the R T180 Ri), you must match the other adjacent color to white (not on top again, but on the side) with its corresponding color diagonally. Now hold the center of the color that you just matched the white corner diagonally with and the white sticker should either be on the left or right face. Then you must perform the following moves: If white facing left, do Li Ti L (Li = left quarter turn counter-clockwise, L = left quarter turn clockwise), If white facing right, do R T Ri. You must do this for all four corners. IMPORTANT: When fixing corner pieces which have white facing UP,you must place it above the last empty corner space on bottom before doing the R T180 Ri or Li T180 L moves. IMPORTANT: you should NEVER be looking at the white color when you are placing it down, you should always be holding the center piece of the other color on the side with white while placing the corner piece. After you have placed all 4 BOTTOM WHITE CORNERS, you should see upside down COLOR T's on the 4 sides of the cube (not top or bottom). If you do NOT have these T's, that means you DID NOT match the corner pieces properly with its side color BEFORE using the 3 moves (up, towards you, down). Match the color on the ADJACENT SIDE of WHITE with its respective center. Then, while holding that center towards you, you must see whether the corner piece is now on the LEFT or RIGHT of that center piece. If on RIGHT, do R T Ri. If on LEFT, do the Li Ti L move. Watch the video for demonstration. ATTENTION: I WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO LET ME KNOW WHETHER THEY WERE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THIS STEP, SINCE IT IS A LITTLE TRICKY.

![]() | How To Solve A Rubik's Cube (Step 1) An instructional tutorial for beginners which talks about the structure of the cube, notation, and how to solve for the cross. I will try to keep the total number algorithms to memorize to a minimum. For everyone who is interested: PART 2 should be coming out in a COUPLE OF DAYS. Total Algorithms Needed So Far: 0 I just wanted to address a few things here... 1) A lot of people have been saying: "oooh, why can't you just peel the stickers off and put them in the correct order, etc, etc." Well, to tell you the truth, you're not really getting anywhere but destroying your stickers prematurely. (No point in that) 2) Some of you may be wondering why my cubes look so "wrecked", well, an answer to this would be as simple as "wear and tear"... over time, the stickers degrade and you have to replace them, simple as that. 3) There have been quite a few people commenting on the fact that I explained things a bit too "simple" as if I were dictating a lecture to a bunch of preschoolers. Well, I apologize if you already knew "the cornerpieces were in the corners" but some people honestly have a tough time with these concepts and I was doing it to help those people out. 4) The second step will be more complicated than the first, and I will have to begin to mention the use of some simple algorithms. (For all of those arrogant people out there who thought the first step was "waaaaayyy tooooo straight forward and unnecessary" you'll be pleased with the fact that the next step won't be as obvious...) |

![]() | How to Solve a Rubik's Cube - Step 3 - Middle Layer Edges Link to Step 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGWXXzH9e24 A Tutorial on how to place the middle edge pieces. As viewer rorygamble (thanks) pointed out, I accidentally said "counter-clockwise" instead of "clockwise" at time 3:07. The move, however, was done correctly except I should have said "clockwise, or up" instead. Hope there was no confusion and let me know if there are any questions. Looking in the top layer, you must find edge pieces (have two colors) which do not have any yellow colored stickers (those are going to be placed later). The edge pieces you want to find are Red/Green, Green/Orange, Orange/Blue, and Blue/Red. Once you have found any of those in a top layer edge position, you must turn the top layer until the color on the side of that edge piece (such as blue in the blue/red edge piece) is matched with its center. You must then determine which direction the piece must be placed. If the color on top (for the red/blue piece that has blue on the side, the color on top is red) of the edge piece has a center to the left, the piece must be placed to the left, and vice versa. After determining where the piece needs to be placed, you must turn the top face a quarter turn AWAY from that direction. So if the red/blue piece is matched with the blue center (when blue colored sticker on the side) and the red center is to the left of the edge, you must turn that edge piece away from that center, or to the RIGHT (that would be top face counter clockwise). After you have turned the piece away from where it needs to be placed, you must take the side which has the color on the top of the edge piece (would be red on TOP for the red/blue piece if blue is on the SIDE) and perform the same move that was done in step 2. If the side is on the left, you do Li Ti L (or left up, top towards you, left back down). If the side that has the color the same as the top color of the edge piece is on the RIGHT, you perform R T Ri (or right up, top towards you, right back down). You will then notice that a WHITE bottom corner piece has been moved to the top layer. All you have to do now is place it back down by doing the same move we performed in step 2 and just before. Look at the color on the SIDE with white (not facing up) and match it diagonally with its corresponding center. If the corner piece is the Red/Blue/White, and blue is on the side with white, you must turn the top face until blue is matched diagonally with its center and then you MUST HOLD THAT CENTER**. You must then look to see if white is facing to the left or to the right. If it is facing to the left when you are holding the center, you must do Li Ti L -- if white is facing to the right, you must do R T Ri. You should see an edge piece matched up now with its corner and the white bottom should be complete again. how to solve a rubik's rubiks rubix rubics cube 3x3 tutorial rubik's help step by speed speedsolve solving unscramble fix learn simple easy easiest quick lesson cross fridrich petrus 3x3x3 4x4 5x5 revenge professor method algorithm beginners solution walk through guide |

![]() | How to Solve a Rubik's Cube - Step 3b Answer - Swapped Edges For step 3, I tell you to look on the top layer EDGE positions for edge pieces which DO NOT HAVE YELLOW on them. But occasionally, you may notice that the middle edges have not all been placed correctly and there are NO pieces up top that do not have yellow. In this video, I will demonstrate a case which one of my viewers spikyspanky1 came across. Other people have also mentioned that they experienced a similar situation. Hope this helps those who may come across a case like this one. |
