PART 1 SOLVE THE TOP CORRECTLY

Before you begin to solve Rubik’s Cube, you must learn how to solve one side correctly. Ironically, solving the first side is easy to perform but hard to explain because the missing pieces are randomly dispersed over the entire cube.

SOLVING THE BLUE SIDE

Note: Solve the blue side first so that we’ll be talking about the same reference colour. The other colours may not match our diagrams since each cube may be labelled differently.

Part 1 is divided into three sections:

Section A describes two moves that will help you position and colour align the 4 blue corners.
Section B gives you 5 basic manoeuvres you will need to bring the 4 blue top middle-edge pieces up into position and colour aligned. These five manoeuvres don’t have to be done in any order. You should learn them and use them as you need them.
Section C defines the starting position.


Section A. Position and align 4 blue corners.

Move the four corner sub-cubes with blue centre to the top of the cube so that the blue squares appear on top. As you bring up the the blue corners, try to bring them up into the correct colour alignment as shown in figure 6.

If you cannot bring the four blue corners up into correct colour alignment , then bring them to the top any way you can. We will show you how to exchange them so that they fall into the correct position and colour alignment.

If you bring up the blue corners in any fashion, one of 3 things will happens:
a) None of the corners will be in position.
b) Two of the corners will be in position and colour aligned, or
c) All 4 corners may fall into correct colour alignment by accident. In this case, you go straight on to Section B.

a. If none of the corners are in position, keep the blue reference corners on top, and follow steps 1-9 below.

Note: The red x’d marked corners on step 1 will exchange.











b. If two of the blue corners are in position and the colour aligned, the remaining two incorrect blue corners must be exchanged. Keep the blue reference corners on top, and turn the whole cube until the two incorrect corners face you as shown in figure 7 below.



Now follow steps 1-10 below.

Note: Grasp the non-moving 2 thirds of the cube firmly to maintain your starting orientation (blue on top). The x’ed (incorrect) corners in step 1 are the ones that will exchange.












At this point, you should have 4 blue corners in position and colour aligned as shown in figure 8.

Now you must position and colour align all 4 top middle-edge pieces.
Note: All 4 pairs of side edge colours must match up.
