Square One Formation Steps


The Square One must be in the shape of a cube.

Step 1

Forming the Star

You must first form a 6-pointed star for one of the outer layers:

There is no algorithm for this phase.

Step 2

Introduction

Forming the Cube

To solve the Square One, it is necessary that it first be in the shape of a cube,

However, the second layer may not be completely formed; this will happen in the very last step after solving the first and third layers.

First, you must flip the Square One. You will then need to apply one of the five algorithms below.

Cases 1a and 2a: cases where it is necessary to swap the layers.
Case 1b: case where the second layer will be formed after applying the algorithm.
Case 2b: case where the second layer will not be formed after applying the algorithm.

Step 2

Algorithm 1

If it looks like this:

Case 1a

You can then proceed to case 1b.

Case 1b

Case 2a

You can then move on to case 2b.

Case 2b

Step 2

Algorithm 2

If it looks like this:

Case 1a

You can then move on to case 1b.

Case 1b

Case 2a

You can then move on to case 2b.

Case 2b

Step 2

Algorithm 3

If it looks like this:

Case 1a

You can then move on to case 1b.

Case 1b

Case 2a

You can then move on to case 2b.

Case 2b

Step 2

Algorithm 4

If it looks like this:

Case 1a

You can then move on to case 1b.

Case 1b

Case 2a

You can then move on to case 2b.

Case 2b

Step 2

Algorithm 5

If it looks like this:

Case 1a

You can then move on to case 1b.

Case 1b

Case 2a

You can then move on to case 2b.

Case 2b

Step 2

Final shape

Your cube will then look like one of the following two cases:

Your Square One is formed.
