Making The Start Cross. Stage 1 of First Beginners Method

Image
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

How Does A Rubik's Cube Work?

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
