<<set $Score to 0>>Welcome! Ready to [[test your memory|PlayerEntry]] of the Rubik's Cube Solving Guide? If you want a refresher first, here’s the full guide, with the moves to memorize in //italics//: STEP 1 Solve "the cross" STEP 2 The cross should be at U. Put each corner under where it should go, then do this until it’s in place: //Ri Di R D// STEP 3 Put solved face on D. We’re now solving top edge cubes down to complete the middle layer. To move one down to the right while facing you, do this: //U R Ui Ri Ui Fi U F// STEP 3.1 To move down to the left while facing you, do this: //Ui Li U L U F Ui Fi// STEP 4 Make a cross on top. Just do this move: F U R Ui Ri Fi To get to the next step in this sequence (looking at U): OOO OOO OXO OXO OXO XXX XXO XXX OOO OOO OOO OXO Remember: Only the cross pieces matter. Ignore the corners. STEP 5 Moving corners into place. This will, when looking at U, leave the top right corner alone and move the other three counter-clockwise. //L Ri Ui R U Li Ui Ri U R// STEP 6 If you have this orientation on U: OXO XXX XXO Do this: //R U Ri U R U U Ri Y//ou might have to do it a few times to get a solid U. Note: You have to make sure the pattern is positioned just like it is above for this to work. Turn the cube until you see it as it is there. If you don’t see that pattern on U, when looking at U, make sure the square in the top left of F is the top color, and then repeat the above sequence until you do have that orientation of U. STEP 7 Final step! If all the top center cubes will need to be switched with each other, do the below. If only three of them need to be switched (meaning one is in the right spot), place the solid face away from you, and then do the below. Either way, repeat the below until the cube is solved. //R Ui R U R U R Ui Ri Ui R R// PICTURE CUBE ADDENDUM If you have a picture cube, solve as normal, but you may be left with some center cubes oriented incorrectly. If this is the case, use the following moves to resolve: STEP 8a MOVE TWO MIDDLE-CENTER PIECES BY 90 DEGREES: You can't rotate one middle-center piece by 90 degrees—it always has to be two at once, so consider carefully. You'll also need to use two new moves: V = the vertical slice between R and L, viewed from R H = the horizontal slice between U and D, viewed from U This will make the U middle-center piece rotate counter-clockwise, and the L middle-center piece rotate clockwise. //Vi Hi V U Vi H V Ui// STEP 8a.1 You can also instead rotate the U middle-center piece clockwise, and the L middle-center piece counter-clockwise like this: //U Vi Hi V Ui Vi H V// STEP 8b ROTATE A SINGLE MIDDLE-CENTER PIECE BY 180 DEGREES: This will rotate the U middle-center piece by 180 degrees: //U R L U U Ri Li U R L U U Ri Li//
