In my last blog, I showed how I solved a 2x2x2 Rubik's Cube. Now let me show you how
I solved a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube. The 3x3x3 is much harder than the 2x2x2!
You can watch my full video below:
Any movement of the 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube can be described through the following steps:
R: Turn the Right side of the Cube once in a clockwise direction
R': Turn the Right side of the Cube once in an anticlockwise direction
L: Turn the Left side of the Cube once in a clockwise direction
L': Turn the Left side of the Cube once in an anticlockwise direction
D: Turn the Bottom (Down) side of the Cube once in a clockwise direction
D': Turn the Bottom (Down) side of the Cube once in an anticlockwise direction
U: Turn the Top (Upper) side of the Cube once in a clockwise direction
U': Turn the Top (Upper) side of the Cube once in an anticlockwise direction
F: Turn the Front side of the Cube once in a clockwise direction
F': Turn the Front side of the Cube once in an anticlockwise direction
We can describe the complete algorithm to solve the 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube using these steps.
First, we need to bring five White pieces to the same side in a cross shape as shown below:
Next, repeat the following steps multiple times to bring all the White pieces to the same side:
R', D', R, D
Next, we need to create two layers with each side having the same color as shown below:
This can be done by repeating the following steps multiple times:
U, R, U', R', U', F', U, F (if top edge piece needs to go to the right)
or
U', L', U, L, U, F, U', F (if top edge piece needs to go to the left)
Next, we need to bring five Yellow pieces to the other side of the White pieces in a cross shape as shown below:
This can be done by repeating the following steps multiple times:
F, R, U, R', U', F
Next, we need to repeat the following steps to line the different colors in the middle:
R, U, R', U, R, U, U, R'
Next, we can repeat the following steps to bring all corners to the right color:
U, R, U', L', U, R', U', L
Finally, we can bring all the colored pieces to the same side using the steps shown below:
R', D', R, D
Hurrah, the 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube is solved! Happy Solving!
