How to Solve a Rubik's Cube - Part 3

How to Solve a Rubik's cube? So that was notation, back to the cube now. So the first two like I said, just basically want to fill in all of these gaps that are right around there. So bring that to there and here is the notation part. Facing four like that. We want this on the right side, we want that little bar on the right side. So if U', F', U', F, U, R, U, R', and that should have moved what piece was right there into that corner and to me it did. So I just want to do that to all of them and again, you don't have to rotate with you around for this. So we want that piece to go right there, so we do the same thing, U', F', U', F, U, R, U, R'. So we have another corner right here, which have two more to go. Now for this -- same thing again. So that's U', F', U', F, U, Right, U, R'. Now one last piece of same thing again. Okay, so one last piece. So we want U', F', U', F, U, R, U, R' and that should get the first two layers. I will not explain something else because that something was completely miss there and it was kind of unusual that happened. Other cube now. Don't pay attention for this, so that much. Okay, so we do pretty much of the same thing with the other one. We set this last slot right here, and this is the one that I miss and it's really frustrating. If the piece is on this side, if it doesn't lineup on that side quite right, because if you do that, one that I just showed you on that one, it won't go -- it won't go and it will go in backward. So we want to line up that. Now for this you want U, R, U, R', U', so let's bring this over to that now. F', U', F so that do it right there. I hope you get that one. So those are the only two things that you need to know, first two layers. Right, so now, back to the regular cube now. So now that we have the first two layers, we are on the last layer. Now for this you will definitely need notation and algorithms, which is -- it's kind of hard to do, top layer without disturbing, the two bottom layers we have under that. Right, so for this. Now mostly, I actually show you on this other cube right here, you want to look for one of two patterns. So one of the patterns is this short l, right here or this long one. You may going to see there is the change from the last clip, I had to shift around just to show you. Anyways, so we have the short l here for this one, U, F, U, R, U', R', F' and then you will going to get a different pattern. Now for this one if it sits on line, you want that line across there; it's basically the same thing, just a little shift around. So F, R, U, R', U', F'. So there you have first part and orientation of the last layer. Now we have all the corners right here, but we still to fill the edges. Same thing with here. Now there are 8 patterns for this one, they are not all that hard to recognize, you really all need to know two for this. So one of them is -- so after you did F, U, R, or U, R, F, or whatever that is FUR or URF as I call, you want to do a couple of things and it could be in a shape like this, it could be something else like two to be filled in, whatever, you just need two algorithms for this. This one is really simple. So for this one you want R, U, R', U, R, U2, R' and you can see it's in a different pattern, and it may not get you directly to this, you want something like this, a fish pattern I call, whatever -- anyway, so yeah. So you want to get to that one. So we flip that around, whenever you do this, you want a corner right there. You want the red face, red sticker or whatever, you want one right there to do it all the time. Don't do like that, don't go on this side. You want the red sticker, right there facing you. So same thing, R, U, R, U, I messed up there, I am sorry. I forget the little I step. So R, U, R', U, R, U2, R' and so it's in the different pattern, now we have the fish pattern. Now this is where, this is the only two, this is the other algorithm that you need to know. So we have this piece right there. Again, it's facing towards you, it won't go like this, because that doesn't work for that. So we have R, U2, R', U', R, U', R', and that should get you the last letter. Now for this one, this one it looks about the same and pretty much it is, except the edge isn't facing right there. So we want to flip this around. So it's like that. So it's right there, facing you and don't worry about it, right there. So if R, and this one you already know. I did it on that one a couple of times. So we have R, U, R', U, R, U2, R, and then we have the last layer. So those are the only two algorithms you need to know. Alright, so we are on the last layer now.
