Step 1
The 1st layer When the layer is fully solved, your cube will look like this:
No particular algorithm.
The placement of the pieces should remain intuitive.
Here are the main steps:
|
The centers
|
The edges
|
The corners
|
|
Step 2
The edges of the 2nd layer Once all the edges have been processed, your cube will look like this:
|
Place the edges - case a
The edge to be placed is on the 3rd layer
It is on the right The algorithm allows us to place it on the 2nd layer.
|
Place the edges - case b
The edge to be placed is on the 3rd layer
It is opposite The algorithm allows us to place it on the 2nd layer.
|
Place the edges - case c
The edge to be placed is on the 2nd layer
It is incorrectly oriented The algorithm allows us to move it down to the 3rd layer and then place it back in the correct orientation.
|
|
Step 3.1
Edge Orientation of the 3rd Layer When all edges have been processed, your cube will look like this:
|
Orienting Edges - Case a
2 edges are correctly oriented
They are adjacent The algorithm will orient the Front/Right edges.
|
Orienting Edges - Case b
2 edges are correctly oriented
They are opposite The algorithm will orient the Left/Right edges.
|
Orienting Edges - Case c
No edges are correctly oriented The algorithm will orient all edges.
|
|
Step 3.2
Placement of the 3rd layer edges When all the edges have been processed, your cube will look like this:
|
Place the edges - case a
2 edges are correctly placed
They are adjacent The algorithm will place the Left/Front edges.
|
Place the edges - case b
2 edges are correctly placed
They are opposite This formula will place the Front/Back edges.
|
|
Step 4
The corners of the 3rd layer When all the corners have been processed, your cube will look like this:
|
Place the corners - case a The algorithm will swap the corners (except the one in front of you on the right) clockwise.
Depending on your setup, you should apply the algorithm a maximum of 2 times!
The orientation of the corners can vary. What matters is their placement.
(The 3 colors of each corner must correspond to the 3 theoretical faces of the corner)
|
Placing the corners - case b The algorithm will swap the corners (except the one in front of you on the left) counterclockwise.
Depending on your setup, you should apply the algorithm a maximum of 2 times!
The orientation of the corners can vary. What matters is their placement.
(The 3 colors of each corner must correspond to the 3 theoretical faces of the corner)
|
Orienting the Corners The algorithm will allow you to orient the 2 corners on your right upwards.
Depending on your setup, you should apply the algorithm a maximum of 2 times!
Remember to orient your cube correctly so as not to perform the algorithm more than necessary, i.e., not necessarily with the 3rd layer at the top.
