Solving Rubik's Cube STEP-I

Posted by Zealous Engineerz , Sunday, March 4, 2012 10:04 AM

Solving the Rubik's cube is not a big task as we can solve the same by going through a systematical procedural steps. For solving Rubik's Cube  we have to solve the same piece by piece, just like other puzzles like jig-saws and other ones. 

As there is a procedure (technically known as algorithm or in short algo) to solve this cube. This algorithm is sub-divided into a number of steps. Lets move on to step 1.

NOTE:- Throughout all this procedure after a step there must be no damage with previous steps corrected pieces.


Lets Start.............


Step 1: 

Solving the edge pieces of the top layer


In this very first step, we have to create a '+' sign on your Favorite color side by solving the edges of your favorite color layer i.e. just four pieces

Here I am taking my Favorite color as white

Again coming to its basics that center pieces cannot be moved which means that to solve the edge we have to take edge pieces to their correct positions


Now take side which have your favorite color at center as an upper layer.

For this there is no hard and fast rule as it can be solved with ease.


But REMEMBER one thing that bring white edge pieces to the white center and not the white center to the edge pieces

Lets explain its possible outcomes which may occur in this level


The main basic rule to make it is to take the piece which we have to solve to the correct place.


Now take your piece exactly under its correct position. by rotating lower layer i.e. last layer.
and take the side in which you have a piece to solve by placing upper layer as upper one as a front side.


Now there will be two possible outcomes


1. Piece which we have to solve is facing to you


2. Piece which we have to solve is not facing to you 



There should not be case of figure (a) and 
trY to solve to figure (b).

Rules of rotation to solve Rubik's Cube

Posted by Zealous Engineerz , 9:41 AM

Throughout this session we will use some rotating notations which helps to convey the process of solving the same through writing the procedure. We have given a letter to every side
  • F (means front of rubik's cube, the face of cube facing to solver)
  • B (means back of rubik's cube, the face exactly opposite to front face)
  • R (means right face of rubik's cube)
  • L (means left face of the rubik's cube)
  • U (means upper face of rubik's cube)
  • B (means bottom face i.e. exactly opposite face to upper face of rubik's cube)
If we will write only the letter say R then it means rotate that side clock-wisely as here move right side clock-wisely.

If there is a letter with apostrophe sign i.e. (') sign without brackets, it means move that particular side anti-clock-wisely

If there is a number (say n) written after a letter it means move that particular side n times
