Step 1

The 1st Layer When the layer is fully solved, your cube will look like this:
No specific algorithm.
The placement of the pieces should remain intuitive.
Here are the main steps:
|
The Centers
|
The Edges
|
The Corners
|
|
Step 1 bis
|
The Centers of the 2nd Layer
You must ensure that all centers are correctly oriented; if so, everything is fine.
Otherwise, you have 3 cases for each incorrectly oriented center.
Place the centers to be oriented as shown opposite.
When all centers are correctly oriented, your cube will look like this:
|
Half turn
|
Quarter turn counterclockwise
|
Quarter turn clockwise
|
|
Step 2
|
Edges of the 2nd layer When all edges have been treated, your cube will look like this:
Note: we do not know if the edges are correctly oriented, which is why there is no case c and step 2 bis may be necessary.
|
Case a The red edge is on the 3rd layer to the right
The algorithm allows it to be placed on the 2nd layer.
|
Case b The red edge is on the 3rd layer opposite
The algorithm allows it to be placed on the 2nd layer.
|
|
Step 2 bis
|
Parity of an edge in the 2nd layer The number of misoriented edges in the 3rd layer must be even (0, 2, or 4). If so, everything is fine.
Otherwise, if it is odd, an edge in the 2nd layer is misoriented. You have two possible scenarios (for 1 or for 3).
Position the misoriented edges as shown opposite.
When the number of edges in the 3rd layer is even, you will have one of the following four scenarios:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 misoriented edge
|
3 misoriented edges
|
|
Step 3.1
|
Orienting the edges of the 3rd layer When all the edges have been processed, your cube will look like this:
|
Case a The edges already oriented are side by side
The algorithm will orient the Front/Right edges.
|
Case b The edges already oriented are opposite each other
This formula will orient the Left/Right edges.
|
Case c
None oriented edge
The algorithm will orient the Left/Back edges.
You can then apply the algorithm from case a.
|
|
Step 3.2
|
Placement of the 3rd layer edges When all the edges have been processed, your cube will look like this:
|
Case a The edges already placed are side by side
The algorithm will place the Left/Front edges.
|
Case b The edges already placed are opposite each other
This formula will place the Front/Back edges.
You can then apply the algorithm from case a.
|
|
Step 4
|
The corners of the 3rd layer When all the corners have been processed, your cube will look like this:
|
Positioning the corners 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 the placement.
(The 2 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! 84 ||| Remember to orient your cube correctly to avoid performing the algorithm more than necessary, i.e., not necessarily with the third layer at the top.
Pensez à orienter correctement votre cube de manière à éviter d'effectuer l'algorithme plus que nécessaire, c'est à dire pas forcement la 3ème couronne en haut.
