Step 1
|
The top centers of the first layer When all the centers have been solved, your cube will look like this:
The first center is easy.
The other three centers must be on different orbits. Otherwise, you must isolate the centers in question on one of the side faces and perform one or more jumbling moves (included in the algorithms opposite).
You must start by finding those that are on the correct orbit (case 1), and only then work with the others (case 2). 13|||Case 1a
|
Cas 1a
The center is in the Up-Left position
It can occupy the right-hand position The algorithm will move the center up to the top face.
|
Case 1b
The center is in the Up-Right position
It can occupy the left-hand position The algorithm will move the center up to the top face.
|
Case 2a
The center is in the Up-Left position
The right-hand position is already occupied by a center The algorithm will place it in the Up-Right position.
JL = (LU'RF' FU3' LURF)
The center can then occupy the left-hand position, so we can apply algorithm 1b.
|
Case 2b
The center is in the Up-Right position
The left position 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 position, so we can apply algorithm 1a.
|
|
Step 2
|
The corners of the 1st layer When all the corners have been solved, your cube will look like this:
|
Case a
The white face is on the right
|
Case b
The white face is opposite
|
Case c
The white face is underneath
|
|
Step 3
|
The lateral centers of the first layer When all the centers have been solved, your cube will look like this:
The two centers must be on different orbits; otherwise, the centers in question must be isolated on one of the side faces, and one or more jumbling moves performed (included in the algorithms opposite).
You must first find those that are on the correct 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
The center is in the Back-Left position
The center can occupy the left position The algorithm will move the center down the side face.
|
Case 1b
The center is in the Back-Right position
The center can occupy the right position The algorithm will move the center down the side face.
|
Case 2a
The center is in the Back-Left position
The left position is already occupied by a center The algorithm will place it in the Back-Right position.
JR = (RULF FU3 RU'LF')
The center can then occupy the right position, so we can apply algorithm 1b.
|
Case 2b
The center is in Back-Right position
The rightmost position is already occupied by a center The algorithm places it in Back-Left position.
JL = (LU'RF' FU3' LURF)
The center can then occupy the leftmost position, so we can apply algorithm 1a.
|
Case 3a
The center is in Front-Left position The algorithm places it in Back-Left position.
JR = (RULF FU3 RU'LF')
The center is in Back position, so we can apply algorithm 1a or 2a.
|
Case 3b
The 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 have been processed, your cube will look like this:
The two centers must be on different orbits; otherwise, the centers in question must be isolated on one of the side faces, and one or more jumbling moves must be performed.
Jumbling moves are not included in the algorithms shown here.
We can see that the bottom centers are naturally positioned.
The purple centers are centers that have moved and can be any color except white. 84|||Case 1a
|
Cas 1a The algorithm will perform a circular permutation of 3 pieces in a clockwise direction.
|
Case 1b The algorithm will perform a circular permutation of 3 pieces in a counter-clockwise direction.
|
Case 2a Permutation of 2 side pieces and lowering of the front piece.
|
Case 2b Permutation of 2 side pieces and lowering of the right piece.
|
Case 3 When almost all the side centers are placed, there may still be a case where one center remains to be placed, 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 have been solved, your cube will look like this:
|
Positioning the corners The algorithm will swap the corners facing you.
JR = (RULF FU3 RU'LF')
JL = (LU'RF' FU3' LURF)
You should only perform this algorithm a maximum of 4 times.
|
Orienting the corners The algorithm will orient the 2 corners facing you.
You should only perform this algorithm a maximum of 2 times; simply orient the cube correctly (not necessarily with the yellow face on top).
