RUBIK'S 3X3 CUBE SOLUTION Part 1

Rubik's Cube Solution the Tyson Mao Way

This is the easiest and the fastest way to solve the Rubik's 3x3 cube. All you need is proper concentration, focus, fast on your hand, and your eyes. The procedure that I will present to you below is the combination of verbal explanations as well step-by-step algorithms (moves).

Before I proceed to the solution proper, I assumed that we both are using the same kind of cube. The standard 3x3 cube has the following orientation:
(This is very important and you must always focus on the position of these CENTER colors)

WHITE opposite YELLOW RED opposite ORANGE BLUE opposite GREEN

Also, you must, by now familiar with following terms used:
1. FACE - the face of each cube is denoted by the CENTER color which is always stationary. There are six CENTER colors in each face: WHITE, YELLOW, RED, ORANGE, BLUE, and GREEN.
2. EDGE PIECES - the piece in between the CORNER PIECES. There are TWO colors for each EDGE PIECE.
3. CORNER PIECES- pieces at the corner of the cube. There are THREE colors for each CORNER PIECE.
4. ALGORITHMS - set of moves. There are different algorithms for each step.
5. TOP LAYER - upper portion of your cube. Combinations of CENTER PIECE, EDGE PIECES, and CORNER PIECES. For us, its always the YELLOW color FACE.
6. MIDDLE LAYER- the center layer. Combinations of CENTER PIECES, and EDGE PIECES.
7. BOTTOM LAYER- the lowermost portion of the cube. Same combinations as the TOP LAYER except for us we are using the WHITE CENTER FACE underneath, always.
8. F2L - simply the First Two Layers

The first thing I will tell now, is to forget ALL the algorithms or moves you know or been using. Anyway, you'll not regret it when you learn this new algorithms. It's as easy as munching peanuts. You can even do it using one hand!! Correct practice is the KEY.

From now on, you belong to the WHITE-YELLOW CUBIES. Our orientation is always and will always be WHITE at the BOTTOM and YELLOW on TOP. You're are no longer a beginner. In one week time you are ready for speed cubing. Later on, 4x4, 5x5....

STEP 1. MAKE A WHITE CROSS ON YELLOW CENTER FACE.

The first thing we should always do is to complete the WHITE FACE. Remember that the WHITE face is opposite the YELLOW face. WE WILL PUT EDGE PIECES WITH WHITE to the YELLOW CENTER FACE. (Ilalagay natin ang mga EDGE PIECES na mayroon WHITE color pa-cross sa lugar ng YELLOW face. Napapagitnaan ng APAT na EDGE PIECES with WHITE ang YELLOW CENTER color). Follow the steps below:
1. Hold the cube with the YELLOW center face UP and the WHITE face underneath.
2. Look for EDGE PIECES containing WHITE. You must have keen eyes and fast hands (left and right) to do this. The EDGE PIECES may be located on TOP, at the MIDDLE, and at the BOTTOM layer. PLace them alongside the YELLOW center on TOP thus, forming a CROSS with YELLOW as CENTER.
3. Look at the MIDDLE layer. Since, the WHITE color on TOP is combined with another color on the side, we must look for these colors located in the MIDDLE portion.
Example:
a. WHITE on top and RED on the side. Look for the RED center FACE at the MIDDLE and place it alongside the RED on the side with WHITE. Then, rotate this FACE (RED FACE) 180 degrees to the WHITE center face underneath. (Hanapin ang RED center face sa gitnang bahagi at itapat sa RED na nasa gilid sa itaas. Iikot ito hanggang sa WHITE sa ilalim).
b. WHITE on top and BLUE on the side. Look for the BLUE center FACE at the MIDDLE and place it alongside the BLUE on the side with WHITE. Then, rotate this FACE (BLUE FACE) 180 degrees to the WHITE center face umderneath. (Hanapin ang BLUE center face sa gitnang bahagi at itapat sa BLUE na nasa gilid sa itaas. Iikot ito hanggang sa WHITE sa ilalim).
c. Use the same procedure for WHITE-GREEN combination and WHITE-ORANGE combination.

4. Now, you have made WHITE cross underneath together with WHITE center FACE.
We are now ready for Step 2. Practice step 1 until you can do it in 10 seconds at the most!!
HINTS: Oftentimes the EDGE PIECE with WHITE and the CENTER color at the MIDDLE is placed alongside each other. All you have to do is to rotate it 180 degrees to the WHITE face at the BOTTOM to save time.
