When the top right corner has blue facing up, spin the top layer so that the other twisted cube is in the top right and perform the Last Four moves again (and again, if necessary). Then, perform these 4 moves until the blue face of the current corner is facing up. Place two middle level edge pieces - neighbors - like RF and LF (right front and left front) 2. F Front (the side that faces you) B Back (the side that faces away from you) BT Bottom (The side that faces down) R The right side. Again, face one of these corners so that it is in the top right AND LOOK AT THE OTHER CORNER WHICH WILL BE MOVED NEXT AND MEMORIZE ITS COLORS. Before you start, you will have understand some basic notation, or these steps will confuse you. Make a U-shaped motion so that the color on the front side of the edge matches the center. There may not be, but we’ll get to that in a moment. Look for an edge that is on the top face and has no yellow on it. Greek inventor Panagiotis Verdes patented a method of creating cubes beyond the 5×5×5, up to 11×11×11, in 2003 although he claims he originally thought of the idea around 1985. Now that you’ve solved the white face of your cube, flip your rubik’s cube over so the white layer is on the bottom. Turn the bottom layer until that piece is directly below its home in the top layer.
Rubiks cube flip bottom middle series#
When all of the corners are in their correct place, unless you get lucky some of the corners will be twisted wrong. In the United States, Rubik was granted U.S. RUBIKS Cube is just one of a series of exciting puzzles designed. This will move one of the corners into the right place, then repeat the " Dodge" algorithm again with the correct corner in the upper right of the front face. If none of the corners are in the right place, do the " Dodge" algorithm on any corner. Hold the cube so that the correctly placed cube is in the top right corner of the front face and perform the " Dodge" algorithm. Then perform the following " Push" algorithm.Ĭhris Bandy's Third Layer Solution starts at 03:12įirst, find one corner that is in the right place. If the correct edges are adjacent, hold the cube so that those two edges are to the back and to the right sides. If the correct edges are in opposing positions, hold the cube in any orientation (with the blue face up). Once the cross is achieved, rotate the top layer until two edges are correctly placed. THIS DOES NOT MEAN TO ROTATE THE ORIENTATION OF THE CUBE, IT MEANS TO ROTATE THE TOP LAYER ONLY. If the "El" is visibile, rotate the top layer so that the "El" is backwards and in the top left of the upper face. Do the following " Face" algorithm repeatedly until the cross is present. - Otherwise, move a middle edge (on the left) up to the top using the string in step "b" above, then repeat step "1"įirst, look at the position of the blue squares on the top layer.- ( Note the single variation in the two strings above ).- If top color = front: F U2 R U' R' U2 F'.- If top color = left, move it to right edge of top face, then: F U2 R U R' U2 F'.- If present, find an edge cube in the top layer that needs to be moved to the middle layer and move it to the front.Solving the middle layer edges requires memorizing a simple string of moves with one possible variation.
Second Layer Edges TURN THE CUBE OVER, SO THAT THE ALREADY-SOLVED WHITE FACE IS ON THE BOTTOM.
- Pick any top face edge cube and bring it to the top.
