Alright, I made this site for many reasons. First I wanted to teach people how to solve the Rubik’s Cube because I am good at teaching, but I would never become a teacher so go figure. Second I wanted a link to send to people if they had any questions about the Rubik’s Cube. I am a speed cuber and you should go watch my Beginner videos for the Rubik's cube because the Cheat Sheet will be based off of those videos. I will have more stuff on here latter but for right now, its just based on the Beginner method.(On the bottom of the page or to the right is the Cheat sheet page.) Basically why I've made this Site. So here it is, so please read this page and I hope you like it, Sign Up and have fun.
Now if you have seen someone already solve a Rubik's cube, you are probably a little intimidated by them. I'm here to let you know that you do not need to be smart in order to solve a Rubik's Cube. That is a Fact. Now if you pick one up, and solve it without learning then yes, you are probably a genius. But I am also here to teach you how to solve one. I don't lie... Solving a Rubik's Cube is very easy, and with a little effort, you can learn within 30minutes if you go step by step with my videos on the video page to the right.
Next thing I should say is that if you don't have a Cube, then it will be very hard or almost impossible to learn so I recommend getting one and you can get them at Toys R Us, Barns and Nobles, Target, ect...So get started to your journey to solving the modern mystery that’s been killing people inside since 1977 made by Ernö Rubik of Hungary. P.S. It will take 1-7 days to actually memorize everything witch is a small price to pay, to be honest. So get started already.
The Front and Up face will tell you the othere faces.
F Front face The face thats facing you.
B Back face The face opposite to the Front face.
U Up face The face on top of the Cube.
D Down face The face opposite to the Up face on the Bottom of the Cube.
R Right face The face on the Right of the Cube
L left face. The face on the Left of the Cube
Also, learn your cubes color scheme. For a standard Rubik's brand Cube, know that White is opposite to Yellow, Green is opposite to Blue, and Red is opposite to Orange. And eventually learn witch color is next to one another (witch is alitltle more advanced).
Now Notation is just a turning of a face. The Notation WILL take alittle time to actually memorize but with some practice for about 1-3days, you wont even have to think anymore. The Up face and the Front face will tell you all the other faces, Right face, Left face ect... There are only 3 ways in which each face moves. Once clockwise/counter clockwise/90degress Ex: F or F Prime (F')/90 degrees, or 180 degrees Ex: F2.
When you want to turn a side, it will be symbolized by its letter Ex: F for Front side, the face that’s facing you. But to tell which way you want to turn a side is by looking at the particular side and turning clockwise, counter clockwise, or 180 degrees.
Just a sequence of moves performed a particular number of times will restore it back to its original state, or just sequence of moves, before you started the algorithm. Ex: R' D' R D. If you perform this algorithm 6 times, the cube will restore it self. Your entire cube solve will consist of Algorithms.
Okay, so for right handed people it would be easier to do the R moves, but for the left handed people, it is easier to do L moves. It makes sence… so, for algorithms, if you’re a lefty, then you can switch the R moves to L' moves if you’re a Lefty. Ex: R’ D’ R D. To convert, it would be L D L’D’. So if you really want, you can convert some of the Algorithms.
