That means, you have to move the TOP face away from this blue center square face left side. You notice that the blue center square face is on your left side. Once you do that, Red Center square face is facing you along with that red side of the Blue-red cube facing you. Now, rotate the cube so that the red face is aligned with the Red Center square face. So, I found the blue-red cube where blue is facing upwards, and the red is facing you. And this blue-red cube (actually 2 blue and 2 red) has no yellow, and it should go into one of the 2nd layer edges. Find a cube that has no yellow colour.Īs in video, I found a cube that is the Blue-Red cube.

Each edge represent a cube with 2 colours. So, now, you need to examine the top yellow face. Depending on whether you want to move to right or left. To solve the 2nd layer, the formula to use either one of the bottom formulas. This technique is repeated to solve the rest of the edges.Īnd then try to solve the white face by moving all the corner white pieces to the correct position. Means, you rotate left, and then you fix the center face and align all to have a coloured square face again. As you can see, I rotated the red-blue edge pair to the right, and move the non-pair pair down to replace the red-blue edge, and revert all steps. I called it a non-paired mix-match-colour pair. So, now, you have to rotate the red-blue edge pair to the side, so that it can be replaced by another pair of mis-matched pair. Once you move the red-blue cubes to form the red-blue edge pair, you notice that all your center square face are miss aligned. Once the 2 red-blue cube are opposite and across each other, you can now rotate and move the 2 red-blue cube together to form a red-blue edge pair. When they are across and opposite each other, if one side is red facing up, the other side must be blue facing up. So, you need to move the 2 red-blue cubes to be on the same face, but opposite each other and it has to be across. If the red blue cube are on the same side but opposite each other, that is wrong. The trick is to move the red blue cube to be opposite each other, but across each other. The aim is to find the 2 colour pair and move them together to form a edge pair sitting side by side. Now, you can proceed to solve the edges pair. Red is opposite Orange and Blue is opposite Green.

With yellow pointing up, blue is on the left side of red. You have solved all 6 sides of center face. Once you solve 5 sides, the remaining green center square face is automatically solved. The remaining Green center square face is automatically position correctly.
