Skewb Xtreme is solved layer by layer.
Step 1
|
The corners of the first layer When all the corners are solved, your cube will look like this:
Using moves 1, 1', 2, or 2', place the first corner with a white face on the first layer.
If necessary, rotate the cube around its vertical axis.
|
Case a
The white corner face is on the left, facing you.
|
Case b
The white corner face is on the right, facing you.
|
|
Step 2
|
The centers of the 2nd layer When all the centers have been solved, your cube will look like this:
The sequence used is always the same; it swaps the front center with the bottom center. The left and right centers are also swapped.
In all cases, you must observe the opposite colors; they must correspond to the green-blue or orange-red pair.
The idea is:
Case 1: Always move down a misplaced center, starting with those whose opposite centers do not match.
Case 2: Always move up a center other than the yellow one to its correct position. 24|||Case 1a |
Cas 1a
The yellow face is underneath.
The colors of the opposite centers are not respected.One of the misplaced centers must be moved down and placed in front of you before applying the algorithm.
Colors involved in our case: green or red.
You will find yourself in case 2.
|
Case 1b
The yellow face is underneath.
The colors of the opposite centers are respected but reversed.One of the misplaced centers must be moved down and placed in front of you before applying the algorithm.
Colors involved in our case: all.
You will find yourself in case 2
|
Case 2a
the yellow face is on one side
The colors of the opposite transverse centers are not respected or the color of the back center is correct You must raise the center of the face that is underneath and therefore rotate the cube so that the corners facing you are the same color. before applying the algorithm
Do the same with the other colors until you find yourself in case 1 or have solved the Skewb Xtreme.
Color order: green -> red -> orange -> blue
|
Case 2b
the yellow face is on one side
The colors of the opposite transverse centers are respected (but reversed) and the color of the back center is correct You need to raise the center of the face that is underneath, and therefore rotate the cube so that the corners facing you are the same color. Before applying the algorithm:
You will see that the opposite transverse centers will automatically align.
|
|
Step 3
|
The corners of the 3rd layer When all the corners are processed, your cube will look like this:
|
Case a
2 corners are correctly oriented
Find the one among the other two whose yellow face will be on the right facing you, then apply the algorithm:
After correctly orienting the Skewb Xtreme, you are then in case b.
|
Case b
No corners are correctly oriented
Place the two corners with the yellow faces facing up on the left, then apply the algorithm:
Only the centers remain to be oriented.
|
|
Step 4
|
Orienting the centers When all the centers have been processed, your cube will look like this:
In all cases, the Up center is correctly oriented initially.
|
Case a
The Down center is not correctly oriented.
Only one side center is correctly oriented.
Place it at the back, then apply the algorithm:
This algorithm rotates the Front, Down, Left, and Right centers by 180°.
You have solved the Skewb Xtreme.
|
Case b
The Down center is not correctly oriented
One side center is not correctly oriented
Place it on the left, then apply the algorithm:
This algorithm rotates the Down and Left centers by 180°.
You have solved the Skewb Xtreme.
|
Case c
The Down center is correctly oriented
Two side centers are not correctly oriented
Place them on the left and at the back, then apply the algorithm:
This algorithm rotates the Left and Back centers by 180°.
You have solved the Skewb Xtreme.
|
Case d
The Down center is correctly oriented
Two opposite side centers are not correctly oriented
Place them in front and behind, then apply the algorithm:
This algorithm rotates the Front and Back centers by 180°.
You have solved the Skewb Xtreme.
