RUBIK'S 3X3 CUBE SOLUTION Part 4

STEP 4. MAKING A YELLOW CROSS ON TOP

In making a cross on TOP, you must at least have two YELLOW colored EDGE PIECES on TOP. Since, they are EDGE PIECES, they are diagonally adjacent to each other.

1. You must orient these two YELLOW color on TOP in the 12 o'clock and 9 o'clock position.
Since, you always have the YELLOW CENTER on TOP, you only need ONE YELLOW on top of the CENTER and ONE yellow at LEFT of the CENTER. (Dahil palagi tayong may YELLOW sa gitna na naka-fix, kailangan na lang natin ng isang YELLOW sa itaas ng gitnang YELLOW at isa pang YELLOW sa kaliwa nito). You will notice an inverted small letter "L" or the 12 o'clock and 9 o'clock position. You can select any FRONT you want as long as the inverted small letter "L" is in the 12 0'clock and 9 o'clock position. Do the following moves below:

...FRONT rotate to your right; TOP rotate to your left; RIGHT Side UP; Top rotate to your right; RIGHT Side DOWN; FRONT rotate to your left...

2. IF on the other hand, there is NO two EDGE PIECES (with YELLOW on TOP) in the 12 o'clock and 9 o'clock position-- just do the algorithm above until you get one. OKay, you are now ready for STEP 5. COMPLETING THE YELLOW FACE ON TOP. Next...
