what is the algorithm for solving a rubiks cube
Answers
Answer:
5 steps
Step-by-step explanation:
they are 5 steps
Step One: Make the Daisy
The goal of this step is to place four white edge stickers around the yellow centre.
Step Two: Create the White Cross
For each petal on the “daisy,” match the non-white sticker to the center piece of the same color. Once matched, turn the face with the matching center two times. Repeat this process three more times. When you are finished, the bottom face of the cube will have a white cross.
Step Three: Solve the First Layer
Time to learn your first algorithms. The following “trigger moves” are the most basic of the bunch:
Right Trigger = R U R’
Left Trigger = L’ U’ L
Look for white stickers on the top layer that face the sides. (If you find a white sticker on the top face of the cube, or on the bottom layer of the cube pointing outward, we’ll deal with it later.) Each white sticker should be on a corner piece with three stickers. Rotate the top face of the cube so that the sticker beside the white sticker that is also outward facing (i.e., not the sticker on the top) diagonally matches the center of the same color.
Step Four: Solve the Middle Layer
Identify edge pieces on the top layer that do not have yellow stickers. (If it has a yellow sticker, it belongs on the top and not in the middle.) Once you find an edge without a yellow sticker, rotate the top face of the cube until the outward facing sticker on that edge piece is directly over the center piece of the same color.
Once it matches, look at the upward-facing sticker on that edge piece. That sticker will match the center on either the left or the right.
If it matches on the right, perform the following algorithm:
U + Right Trigger
Doing so will disturb the first layer. Fix the displaced white corner sticker as you did in step three.
If it matches on the left, perform the following algorithm:
U’ + Left Trigger
Doing so will disturb the first layer. Fix the displaced white corner sticker as you did in step three.
Occasionally you will find no edge pieces in the top layer without yellow stickers but the middle layer is not solved. In such cases, displace them is-matched middle-layer edge piece by performing the left or right trigger. There should now be an edge piece in the top layer without a yellow sticker. Solve for it as described above.
Step Five: Create the Yellow Cross
The goal of this step is to create a yellow cross on the upward-pointing face of the cube. This entire step hinges on the following algorithm:
F U R U’ R’ F’
If your top face has no yellow edge pieces, perform ***F U R U’ R’ F’. If your top face has two yellow edge pieces such that they form a line with the center yellow piece, orient the cube such that the three yellow stickers form a vertical line and perform ***F U R U’ R’ F’. If your top face has two yellow edge pieces such that they form a backwards L, rotate the top face of the cube until the edge pieces are at the 12 and 9 positions of a clock and perform ***F U R U’ R’ F’. At this point, the top face of your cube should resemble a yellow cross.
Step Six: Solve the Yellow Face
The goal of this step is to completely solve the top face of your cube. When you’re finished, that face should be entirely yellow. For this step, you will use the following algorithm:
R U R’ U R U2 R’
Begin by inspecting the top face of your cube. How many corners have yellow stickers on top?
If you have zero or two, hold the cube so a yellow sticker is in the upper right hand corner of the face in your left hand,
