Solve Your Rubik's Cube

There are several options for making the starting cross. The starting cross making technique is often called " intuitive " and is considered simple. But in reality, for a person who first took a Rubik's cube in hands, there are no "intuitive" and understandable "out of the box" methods. Detailed explanation required. Later, after gaining experience, all the steps of the first stage of the solving really become intuitive and understandable. But at the first acquaintance with the cube, this is not observed, of course. There may be rare exceptions. For acquaintance, I will give three options for making the starting cross: When the cross is immediately solved correctly on the side facing up through the middle layer. When the cross is solved on the opposite side, regardless of the correct location of the edge elements, followed by the correct solving on the main side. When the cross is immediately solved correctly on the starting side facing down. In this b

The cube consists of 26 pieces with 54 colored stickers (surfaces). There are 6 colors in total according to the number of sides of the cube (9 stickers for each color, that is, on one plane). Each side or plane of the cube thus has 9 elements with colored stickers (3 by 3 square). The elements of the Rubik’s cube are of three types. The center cubies (center pieces on each side). This element is the cube with only one colored surface (sticker). This is the base of the cube side. These central pieces have a rigidly fixed spatial position relative to other central elements. And they cannot be moved in any way other than breaking the puzzle. There are 6 parts in total. The edge cubies (pieces). This item has two different colored surfaces (stickers). They are located on the edges of the cube (which is logical and follows from the name). Each Rubik’s cube side has 4 such elements. They make up an equilateral cross. In the middle of this cross is the center of the side. These elements move

The cube, as a puzzle and as a textbook for teaching students the basics of mathematical group theory, appeared in 1974 thanks to a Hungarian architect named Erno Rubik. He invented the 3x3x3 mechanical cube, familiar to everyone today. The most difficult thing was to come up with a mechanism that connected 26 cubes that form planes. Interestingly, Rubik collected his creation for the first time for almost a whole month. Originally, the puzzle was called "Magic Cube". Now international competitions are held in various disciplines related to the solving of both a 3x3x3 cube and other puzzles based on it. The world record for solving the Rubik's cube 3x3x3 as of 2020 was 3.47 seconds. Interestingly, the number of all reachable different states of the Rubik's cube 3x3x3 is 43,252,003,274,489,856,000. Taking into account the orientation of the central squares, the number of states increases 2048 times, namely up to 88,580 102 706 155 225,088,000 states! At the same time,

To study successfully, you will need a Rubik's cube with 3 x 3 x 3. For example, as in the photo. It's great if the cube rotates easily enough, without unnecessary grinding and resistance. In this case, you will immediately begin to practice the correct grip of the cube in your hands. It is also better that the cube does not tend to fall apart with the slightest effort. In any case, to successfully master the solving method proposed in this blog, use the Rubik's cube that you have. Read more:  About Beginner's Methods to solve Rubik's Cube About Fridrich method

There are many ways to solve the 3x3x3 Rubik's cube. They differ from each other in the approaches to the solving, the algorithms used and their number, the allowable simplifications in assessing the situation and choosing the algorithm, the order of the solving stages, the authors' ideas about the speed and simplicity of these methods. In addition to several different ways to solve the Rubik's cube for beginners, there are high-speed methods to solve the cube. You can name their professional methods. In order to understand well how the Rubik's cube works, and to better navigate in it, it is better to know and master several solving methods. And the best place to start is by learning different ways for beginners. In the future, you can diversify your skills and abilities by studying high-speed methods and algorithms, patterns (patterns or games) on a cube. I will try to teach you the three or four techniques of solving the Rubik's cube for beginners.  All these meth
