This solution page is only for the 3X3X3 Rubik's Cube for
now. this is only a beginner's "how to" for the Rubik's Cube.
it will not put you anywhere near sub-30 (under 30 sec.),
maybe not even under a minute. But, for those that are new to
this Art or just want to know how to solve that thing, that's
been sitting there for the last 10 years, this is a great step
by step guide.
There are only 4 bottom edge orientation possibilities at
this step. If your cube doesn't match one of these, then
somebody's been peeling your stickers. This step's pretty
simple. Ignore gray squares; white squares are the ones that
need to be oriented. Hold the cube as you see it shown in the
picture. If you don't hold it so that the white in the picture
corresponds exactly to where disoriented edges are, you may do
some moves destructive to your progress.
These moves are fairly simple to memorize because they
always follow this pattern:
Left Up, Right Up, Turn the Front Somewhere,
Left Down, Right Down, Turn the Bottom Somewhere,
Repeat.
Simply tilt the cube towards yourself to
make the big diagram look like the mini diagram and
directions. White squares represent edges that are not
oriented correctly.
(The second half of this move is almost an exact repeat of
the first!)
