Step 1
|
The higher centers of the 1st layer When all the centers are processed, your cube will look like this:
The 1st center is easy
The other 3 centers must be in different orbits, otherwise, the centers in question must be isolated on one of the side faces, and perform one or more jumbling moves (included in the algorithms opposite).
You have to start by looking for those who are in the right orbit (case 1), and only then work with the others (case 2).
|
Case 1a
The center is in the Up-Left position
He can occupy the right seat The algorithm will move up the center on the upper face.
|
Case 1b
The center is in the Up-Right position
He can occupy the left seat The algorithm will move up the center on the upper face.
|
Case 2a
The center is in the Up-Left position
The right place is already occupied by a center The algorithm places it in the Up-Right position.
JL = (LU'RF' FU3' LURF)
The center can then occupy the left place, so we can apply algorithm 1b.
|
Case 2b
The center is in the Up-Right position
The left place is already occupied by a center The algorithm places it in the Up-Left position.
JR = (RULF FU3 RU'LF')
The center can then occupy the right place, so we can apply algorithm 1a.
|
|
Step 2
|
The corners of the 1st layer When all the corners are processed, your cube will look like this:
|
Case a
The white side is on the right
|
Case b
The white side is opposite
|
Case c
The white side is below
|
|
Step 3
|
The lateral centers of the 1st layer When all the centers are processed, your cube will look like this:
The 2 centers must be in different orbits, otherwise, the centers in question must be isolated on one of the side faces, and perform one or more jumbling moves (included in the algorithms opposite).
You must start by looking for those who are in the right orbit (case 1), then work with the others in the Back positions (case 2), and only then work with those in the Front positions (case 3).
|
Case 1a
Center is in Back-Left position
The center can occupy the left place The algorithm will go down the center on the side face.
|
Case 1b
Center is in Back-Right position
The center can occupy the right place The algorithm will go down the center on the side face.
|
Case 2a
Center is in Back-Left position
The left place is already occupied by a center The algorithm places it in the Back-Right position.
JR = (RULF FU3 RU'LF')
The center can then occupy the right place, so we can apply algorithm 1b.
|
Case 2b
Center is in Back-Right position
The right place is already occupied by a center The algorithm places it in the Back-Left position.
JL = (LU'RF' FU3' LURF)
The center can then occupy the left place, so we can apply algorithm 1a.
|
Case 3a
The center is in Front-Left position The algorithm places it in the Back-Left position.
JR = (RULF FU3 RU'LF')
The center is in the back position, so we can apply algorithm 1a or 2a.
|
Case 3b
Center is in Front-Right position The algorithm places it in the Back-Right position.
JL = (LU'RF' FU3' LURF)
The center is in the back position, so we can apply algorithm 1b or 2b.
|
|
Step 4
|
The lateral centers of the 2nd layer When all the centers are processed, your cube will look like this:
The 2 centers must be in different orbits, otherwise, the centers in question must be isolated on one of the side faces, and perform one or more jumbling moves.
Jumbling moves are not included in the algorithms opposite.
We can notice that the lower centers are naturally placed.
Purple centers are centers that have moved and can be any color except white.
|
Case 1a The algorithm will perform a circular permutation of 3 pieces in clockwise direction.
|
Case 1b The algorithm will perform a circular permutation of 3 pieces in a counterclockwise direction.
|
Case 2a Permutation of 2 side pieces and descent of the front piece.
|
Case 2b Swapping 2 side pieces and lowering the right piece.
|
Case 3 When almost all the lateral centers are placed, there may remain the case where there is one center to place but it is not on the correct orbit.
JR = (RULF FU3 RU'LF')
|
|
Step 5
|
The corners of the 2nd layer When all the centers are processed, your cube will look like this:
|
Place corners The algorithm will exchange the coins facing you.
JR = (RULF FU3 RU'LF')
JL = (LU'RF' FU3' LURF)
You should only perform this algorithm a maximum of 4 times.
|
Orient the corners The algorithm will orient the 2 corners facing you.
You should only perform this algorithm twice maximum, you just need to orient the cube correctly (not necessarily the yellow side on top)
