Rubix Cube Solution PART 3 COLOUR ALIGN THE BOTTOM 4 CORNERS.

THE RUBIX CUBE SOLUTION CONTINUED

PART 3 COLOUR ALIGN THE BOTTOM 4 CORNERS, CONTINUED FROM (PART 2)

A. The objective of this 8 move process is to colour align the remaining corners. At this point, all 8 corners sub-cubes are in the correct position, but 4 or less of them are not colour aligned.

First, remember to keep the same orientation with the solved blue side at the back (away from you). This 8 step process rotates 3 of the four front corners on their axis. See figure 18. It keeps corners A, B and C in position but rotates the 3 colours on each corner. The process rotates the 3 corner sub-cubes A, B and C only, however, before you proceed you must establish the correct Initial Orientation. (See a, b and c below).

INITIAL ORIENTATION
a.If after you complete Part 2, you find you have one of the corner sub-cubes colour aligned, turn the whole cube so that that corner appears in the position marked (X). Do steps 1-8 below.

b.If you have two corners aligned, then turn the whole cube so that they fall in the position marked (A) and (B) or (A) and (C). Do steps 1-8 below.

c.If none of the front corners are colour aligned then it doesn’t matter. Do steps 1-8 below.



This process must be repeated several times (usually 2 to 4 times) until all 8 corners are colour aligned with reference to their centre cubes.

Check for colour aligned corners each time you do steps 1-8. then refer to a, b or c above before repeating the process. You will know that all 8 corners are in colour alignment when every side of the cube shows at least 5 squares of the same colour in an “X’ed” (or cross) pattern. See figure 19.



Remember, first check how many corners are colour aligned to make sure you are in the correct starting position. See a, b and c above. As you do the procedure, be sure to grasp the non-moving two thirds of the cube firmly to maintain your starting orientation (correct solved blue side in back.) Failing to do so will put you back to part 1.










After you do steps 1-8, check how many corners are colour aligned. Don’t worry if you had 2 corners colour aligned and you lost one or both because the last time you run the process only one corner should be colour aligned.

Now repeat steps 1-8 until all 8 corners become colour aligned as in figure 19 above.

DO NOT proceed to Part 4 unless one side, eight corners and six centres are in their solved condition. (In correct position and also colour aligned).
