Square One conventions


Vocabulary:


The corners

The edges

The middle pieces

The pieces on the right

The colors of the faces:

The colors shown in the diagrams are identical to the original Square One.

The gray color indicates that the color present in this location is of no interest for the exercise. This is much easier to understand.

Examples:

If I tell you that only the third layer remains to be made, it is easier to understand with this diagram:

Rather than with this one:


The movements of the layers:

Top layer Bottom layer
1 (1 time 30°)

30° clockwise then 30° counterclockwise
2 (2 times 30°)

60° clockwise then 60° counterclockwise
3 (3 times 30°)

90° clockwise then 90° counterclockwise
4 (4 times 30°)

120° clockwise then 120° counterclockwise
5 (5 times 30°)

150° clockwise then 150° counterclockwise
6 (6 times 30°)

180° clockwise then 180° counterclockwise

The movement of the pieces on the right:

slash (180° rotation of the right pieces)

Examples of combinations:

180° rotation of the right pieces
60° rotation of the top layer
90° rotation of the bottom layer
180° rotation of the right pieces
150° rotation of the top layer
180° rotation of the bottom layer
