How To Solve the Rubiks Cube

Solving the Rubik's Cube is a frustrating as well as difficult thing to restore to its original configuration. Most people take hours in restoring the multicolored cube to get the six sides in one color.

The Rubik's Cube remains an icon that baffles people at times. But there is some simple steps to solving the puzzle. You can easily solve it by knowing a few algorithms.

Steps:

1. Start by priming the cube by selecting a corner square in the upper right hand corner. Then rotate the cube so that the center square and corner square matches at the corners on the top side.

2. After turning the entire cube to the left, slowly rotate the cube so that the new top right hand corner matches colors on the top and front. You should repeat this process until all the top corners are coordinated.

3. Position and put the cubes to finish the top layer. You should know how to move the top cubes out of space and how to restore them in the end.

4. The next process is solving the middle layer by lining up the centers and positioning the edges. You can make the center cubes on the correct sides by turning the middle layer. Now put the middle edge cubes in their correct places.

5. By turning the whole cube upside down, you can position the last unfinished layer on the top. You can equalize the corner cubes with the center cube on the new top layer.

6. The remaining edge corners also should be matched. Arrange it in such a way that the correct colors are shaped like an H or like a fish on the top side.

7. After completing the final two cubes, you can finally solve the Rubik's cube.

Knowing the colors of your cube and which color is opposite to which as well as the order of the colors around each face is highly important. Spending some time by learning how to move pieces around can also help.
