5/31/2023 0 Comments Solving the runix cube![]() The "2" means to turn that side 180 degrees. Depending on how the corner is oriented, you can decide how to move it. There are three ways to move this corner to the top row without disrupting any edge pieces. So don't move a corner piece that has blue, yellow and orange on it directly underneath the blue-red and blue-green edge pieces. Remember that the colors have to match up when it gets to the top row. If the corner you want to move is on the bottom row, move it directly underneath where you want it to go. Once you've got that down, you can move on to solving the corners. Move the top side so you can avoid messing up what you've done already.Īlways remember to make sure that the colors on the side of the edge pieces line up with the other center squares (VERY IMPORTANT). When moving an edge piece to its place, make sure that while you're turning the sides it doesn't interfere with the edge pieces that are already in place. However, sometimes you will get this little dilemma.Ĭlick here for an animation of the above sequence. This will make positioning the corners easier. When you're trying to do this for the first time, it's always a good idea to solve the edge pieces first, so you have a cross on the top like this. What you're basically trying to do is this: Move the corresponding edge and corner pieces of that color next to the center cube while making sure the top outside row colors line up (may the thinking juices flow).Find a sticker of that color that is in the center of the face.Pick a color of the six (I will be using blue in most of the examples, so whenever I say blue, I really mean top color).Notice how the red and green squares are all lined up nicely in the top row. That means that if you decided to solve the blue face first, it would have to look something like the above picture. Keep in mind that when you solve the one side, you have to solve the adjoining row at the same time. ![]() ![]() Solving the top row is the hardest part of the solution, believe it or not. If a segment is in the right place but is facing the wrong way, then it is oriented incorrectly. If a segment is in the wrong place, it is said to be in the wrong position. There is a difference between oriented and positioned. Even if you do finish replacing the stickers, you make solving the cube more difficult and awkward to a person who actually knows how to solve it since the colors are not in the same place in relation to each other. Peeling off the stickers is not the solution (in fact if you start to peel off some of the stickers but never finish putting the rest in their places, you are most likely going to cause an impossible combination and make the cube unsolvable). If you want to move one of the colors to another position, the other has to come too. Those two stickers will always stay next to each other. They only twist around in place, even though it looks like they change places. A corner piece will always remain a corner piece no matter how you turn the cube.Ĭenter pieces never change their position in relation to each other.A center square will always remain a center square no matter how you turn the cube.Īn edge piece will always remain an edge piece no matter how you turn the cube.These include 1 triple-axis, 12 edge pieces, and 8 corner pieces. The cube consists of 21 individually moving parts.Once you get this method down pretty good, and you want to work on your solving time, I suggest you learn the Fridrich Method or another speed cubing method. If you learn this solution thoroughly, your best time might be around a minute or a minute and a half. I've seen people memorize this solution in a day. That will require a good deal of memorization, but it's not impossible. Therefore you will not be able to go off and solve a Rubik's Cube immediately after reading this page only once. The solution presented here falls on the low-thinking range, mild-memorization, but fairly-slow part of the spectrum. Others require lots of both but are extremely fast. Others require lots of thinking but little memorization. Some solutions require quite a bit of memorization and little thinking. This is a simple solution to the Rubik's Cube composed of various methods that I merged together that I felt was the easiest for beginners to learn.
