Solving a Rubik's cube with each step || Short Blog

in hive-168362 •  2 years ago 

Hello!

I hope you all are going well today! So I would be solving a Rubik's cube and would like to share each minor step of that as I go through it. It consists of 4 steps and we would be walking with all four. I'm sure you would enjoy the post if you get to understand it.

Step 1: Plus

In this step, we need to make a Plus sign on the white center like this :

Here there are 4 pieces we need to join which are a blue-white piece, a red-white piece, a green-white piece and an orange-white piece.

  • So for that first, I'm solving this blue-white piece.


Then similarly red-white and green-white.

Lastly orange-white.

And now we're done with the first step! (1/4)

Step2: F2L (First 2 Layers)

Here, we would be solving 2 layers entirely, simultaneously!

In this step, we would be solving 4 pairs of pieces. 1 pair will contain a corner and an edge piece. An edge contains 2 colors as it is 2-sided and a corner 3 as it is 3-sided.

  • Firstly let's solve this orange-green edge and orange-green-white corner.


  • Then orange-blue edge and orange-blue-white corner.


  • Following red-green edge and red-green-white corner.


  • Lastly red-blue edge and red-blue-white corner.


And we're done! (2/4)

Now we're done with 2 out of 3 layers. We are left with 1 single layer now, also known as the last layer. In that, we would be using a special sequence of moves to solve it which is also known as an algorithm. For example, we have to solve 3 pieces and we know that 3 things can be shuffled in a maximum of 6 combinations (3!). We know what moves are to be done for those 6 cases to get them back in order.
This set of moves is referred to as an algorithm here.

Step 3: Solving Top (Yellow)

In this, we would be solving the top side of the last layer which here is yellow. This step is also referred to as OLL (Orientation of Last Layer).


And we're done! (3/4)

Finally the final step,

Step 4: Solving the whole cube.

In this we would be solving the last layer's side pieces which are left to be solved, here as well we would be using algorithms just like we did in the previous step.
This step is also known as PLL (Permutation of Last Layer).


And now we're done!! (4/4)


It took around 60 moves to completely solve it and it was fun to share what I'm doing as I was doing. If you think solving this requires intelligence then NO! It just requires cramming the moves/algorithms lol. So now if anyone shows you solving it incredibly fast then don't think he is super intelligent, he spent time on learning.

If you yourself are interested in learning this then you could ask me for suggestions in replies like for resources and where to learn, best tutorials, etc.
Btw I have 2 years of cubing experience :)

Thank you for going through it.
Have a wonderful rest of your day!
