Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last layer - Orientation of the corners. Step 1: The first step in the white cross is to get all of the white edge pieces to match up with the yellow center. 373K 33M views 3 years ago WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez learned to solve a Rubik's cube from Tyson Mao, one of the co-founders of the World Cube Association. People usually get stuck solving the cube after completing the first face, after that they need some help. 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. Physicists Rewrite a Quantum Rule That Clashes With Our Universe. Let'sbeginwiththe white face. How to solve a Rubik's cube | Step by Step Instructions | 5 Easy Steps Solve the Rubik's cube by following these 5 easy steps: STEP 1 - COMPLETE THE FIRST LAYER CROSS STEP 2 - COMPLETE THE FIRST LAYER CORNERS STEP 3 - COMPLETE SECOND LAYER STEP 4 - COMPLETE THE THIRD LAYER CROSS STEP 5 - COMPLETE THE THIRD LAYER CORNERS Full Video tutorial below: situation 2 (symmetrical of situation 1) with arrows\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 1\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 1 with arrows\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 1 step 1\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 1 step 2\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 2\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 2 with arrows\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 2 step 1\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 2 step 2\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 5\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 5 with arrows\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 5 step 1\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 5 step 2\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 3\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 3 with arrows\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 3 step 1\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 3 step 2\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 4\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 4 with arrows\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 4 step 1\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - case 4 step 2\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - general case where two corners are correctly oriented\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Corner Orientation - general case where no corner is correctly oriented\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Edge Permutation - counter clockwise - 3D view\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Edge Permutation - counter clockwise - top view\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube move : Vertical movement, Middle layer, Upward - aka M'\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube move : Vertical movement, Middle layer, Downward - aka M\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Edge Permutation - clockwise - 3D view\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Edge Permutation - clockwise - top view\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Edge Orientation - case 1 - 3D view\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Edge Orientation - case 1 - top view\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube move : Horizontal movement, Middle layer, to the Left - aka E'\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube move : Horizontal movement, Middle layer, to the Right - aka E\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Edge Orientation - case 2 - 3D view\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube - Last Layer - Edge Orientation - case 2 - top view\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube with colored edge, corner and center.\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Top View of a Rubik's Cube\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube move : Horizontal movement, Down layer, to the Right - aka D\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube move : Horizontal movement, Down layer, to the Left - aka D'\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube at its initial configuration\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube after move FCW aka F\n<\/p> Image by: Uploader Rubik's Cube after move VMU aka M'\n<\/p> Rubik's Cube after move VRD aka R'\n<\/p>
