Rubiks Cube | mortenbs.com

There is many different ways to solve the Rubiks Cube.
This description is looking at the cube as three layers: the top, the middle,- and the bottom layer.

The cube can be solved in this way:

1. Select a color to solve first.
2. Make a "cross", by solving four "edge-blocks" in the top layer.
3. Solve the four remaining "corner-blocks" in the top layer.
4. Solve the four "edge-blocks" in the middle layer.
5. If needed, Solve the "cross" in the bottom layer.

6. If needed, Replace the four "corner-blocks" in the bottom layer.
7. If needed, Turn/flip the four last "corner-blocks" in the bottom layer.
Note: It can happen that a step is unnesseccary by random, if it is alredy solved.

As seen in the images above, all six "center-blocks" is attached to each other. It is important to remember as we can not replace these blocks later...
green is normally attached to blue
white is normally attached to yellow
red is normally attached to orange

There is 12 moves with the cube:
Different ways to turn or move the blocks

01 front (Left)	02 front (Right)	03 left (Up)	04 left (Down)
05 right (Up)	06 right (Down)	07 top (Left)	08 top (Right)
09 bottom (Left)	10 bottom (Right)	11 bottom (Right x2)	12 front (Right x2)

1. Solving the Top Layer

1. First Layer – The "Cross"

The "cross" is made by solving the four "edge-blocks" as shown in the image. Remember that the colors has to match the "center-blocks" because these can not be replaced later... It's always a good idea to use the bottom layer (the yet unused layer) to turn and move around the blocks you need in the top layer. When the "cross" is made,- you can now solve the four remaining "corner-blocks" for the top layer.

1. First Layer – The "Corners"

The top layer is solved when the "cross" and the four top "corner-blocks" is solved. The image shows which blocks that has to match the "center-blocks". As seen the colors is the matching the colors of the "center-blocks" both in the top, but also around with the middle layer.

2. Solving the Middle Layer

Use the following two systems to replace the four "edge-blocks" needed for having solved the middle layer of the cube.

Solved layer up

Replacing the right "edge-block":

Replacing the left "edge-block":

3. Solving the Bottom Layer

3.1 – Making a "cross" in the bottom layer

Unsolved layer held up (the bottom layer up)

X = Being turned / flipped. O = Being replaced

Replacing the four last "corner-blocks" (if needed)
Unsolved layer held up (the bottom layer up)

Turning / flipping the last "corner-blocks" (if needed)

Unsolved layer held up (the bottom layer up)

Turn/Move the top on to the next corner that has to be flipped.
